Back during our first year of full time rving we stopped for a week in Payson and rode a different section of the Highline Trail. This time we started at the Highway 260 Trailhead and rode west to the...
Cabin Loop, Mogollon Rim
Our spot for the next couple weeks is up on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, east of Payson. We rode here our first year full timing but that was five years ago! The Rim is amazing with pine, fire,...
Show Low Secret Trails
The informal trail system in Show Low, Arizona is called Buena Vista Secret Trails but it’s no secret. I think one of the loops is official but the rest seem to be the “secret”. There are almost no signs...
Land of the Pioneers Trail
The bucolic pastures and quiet backwoods of Vernon, Arizona — population 122 — is the last place you’d expect to be the scene of a vile triple homicide. I didn’t even know about this story until after our ride...
Pinetop Gravel Exloring

West Fork Hike
Since Derek’s bike was incapacitated we hiked a different section of the Black River. This time we started out by Big Lake and hiked down to the West Fork and back up. The day started a little chilly but...

Carnero Lake and Greens Peak Exploring
From camp Derek did an exploratory ride out to Carnero Lake and Green’s Peak. It clocked in at 21.3 miles with 1932′ of climbing up to a high point of 10,132′. I headed across the highway to hike part...
Pole Knoll Trails – Greer, AZ
Our two week boondocking spot in Greer, Arizona is the highest campspot of the year for us. We’re way up in the White Mountains at 9300′! A lot of people probably don’t realize this part of Arizona exists. Our...
