#vanlife Is new to this generation; a counter-culture whose mission is based around the idea of living more outdoors, being eco-friendly, and often times affortable. There are different off shots of this culture that are known as Escapees, Escapers, RubberTrampers, Digital Nomads, Snow birds, Rainbow kids, dirt bags, etc. People live in anything that moves, SUVs, cars, trucks, campers, trailers, bikes, tents, Class A's, school buses, step vans, Subaru's, and more. Some of us ask if others are full-timers or part timers This just means if you have a sticks and bricks(house) home base or if you have sold everything and are always on the road. I have been full time in my van for 2 1/2 years camping, boondocking, stealth camping, driveway surfing, parking lot hopping along the way. Every place is new and different and I have friends in many states now. The day to day life is interesting and filled with unknowns. I do get frustrated at it sometimes but I find that even after a few months of staying still I need to pick up and keep going. Seasonal and temporary jobs keep me going but also your support of my channel. I don't know if I would be still on the road in this capacity if it wasn't for your support and encouragement. I feel honored to have so many people rooting for me to keep at it! Through trials and tribulations, sunrises and sunsets this lifestyle change has been a growing experience.
Stay Curious!

Nellie E Saloon - The Desert Bar
Join Buckley and I for a fun day at a desert bar with friends Tex, Nasim, Babs, and Edwin. Music in the background compliments of Happy Ending Band.
The Nellie E Saloon (DESERT BAR)
is situated in the Buckskin Mountains,
in Parker, Arizona, on land that was
an old mining camp. The camp was
located on the portion of land that is
now the parking lot. When Ken
acquired the land in 1975, there was
nothing left of the old mining camp.
With the land and a liquor license from
an old business on leased river land,
Ken decided to give the bar in the
desert idea a try. In 1983, Ken
opened for business in the temporary
three-sided structure which is across
from the outdoor restroom's. He
operated there for the next five years,
until the current saloon was
constructed. The name Nellie E
originates from the old mining claim.
They used to mine copper and then
take it to the smelter and get gold.

The Nellie E Saloon (DESERT BAR)
is situated in the Buckskin Mountains,
in Parker, Arizona, on land that was
an old mining camp. The camp was
located on the portion of land that is
now the parking lot. When Ken
acquired the land in 1975, there was
nothing left of the old mining camp.
With the land and a liquor license from
an old business on leased river land,
Ken decided to give the bar in the
desert idea a try. In 1983, Ken
opened for business in the temporary
three-sided structure which is across
from the outdoor restroom's. He
operated there for the next five years,
until the current saloon was
constructed. The name Nellie E
originates from the old mining claim.
They used to mine copper and then
take it to the smelter and get gold.
When Ken opened the bar, he hauled
water in a 50-gallon tank loaded on the
back of his truck. Then he purchased
an old fire truck, which he used to haul
water. In 1989, he started using a well
in the canyon as his water source. In
the summer of 1997, Ken drilled a new
well on the north side of the saloon
that operates on solar power, with the
pump set at 360 feet.
The fire truck in the parking lot was
acquired from Scott Winter in March of
2001. The fire truck was used by
Scott's father in the development of
Bluewater Lagoon
The Nellie E was completed in 1988.
The inside of the saloon is unique in
many ways. It has windows that are old
glass refrigerator doors, the bar stools
are made of steel and they sway from
side to side. The top of the bar is
brass and the ceiling is made of
stamped tin purchased from a factory
in Missouri. The saloon is powered by
solar energy and is stored in batteries
and run through inverters.
Built in 1991, the covered walk bridge
was the next big project. It was
dedicated in October of that same year.
The church was started in 1993,
completed in 1996 and dedicated in
October. The church is made of solid
steel and the walls and ceiling are
made of the same stamped tin used
inside the bar and the roof is made of
copper. The names inscribed on the
plaques in the church are people who
donated money to help build the
church. The church is a unique place
for weddings and a great photo spot.
There are no services held in the
church and all religions are welcome.
Across from the saloon is an outside
bar, cooking area and stage.
The tall structures you see on the
property including Ken's house,
located across from the parking lot,
are cooling towers. They work similar
to an evaporative (swamp) cooler,
except they don't have a fan. When
you wet the pads on top, cool air falls
and you get a nice cool airflow.
Behind the outside bar is a horseshoe
pit and to the right is a stage for live
music or D.J.
We have live music October through
March, depending on the weather.
Music is on Saturdays is from 1:00
p.m. Till 5:00 p.m. and Sundays from
12:30 until 4:30
The Nellie E Saloon is located 5 miles
off the Cienega Springs Rd exit on
Hwy-95, approximately 5 miles north of
Parker, Arizona.

Nellie E. Saloon Camp
A little bit rugged camp near the little bit rugged, and famous, Desert Bar.
8.2 miles from the Parker Walmart on Cienega Springs Road.
I state in the video that there’s two bars of internet, that’s wrong. There is at a single spot about one hundred yards out, where I am now.

▶ Check out my gear on Kit:
Lake Havasu and the Desert Bar in Arizona is where we are exploring this week.
The wife and I loaded up the trailer to meet some friends in Lake Havasu to explore the area in the Polaris RZR. We rolled around in the hills exploring the desert, then checked out the river before heading down to the Desert Bar near Parker, AZ.
Riding around in the RZR is sure different that exploring in the Jeep.
