Boondocking with Friends at Imperial Dam LTVA (near Yuma AZ)
We met up with some of our friends just outside of Yuma Arizona for a week of boondocking in the Arizona Desert. We are all pretty new at the whole Boondocking experience and hoping to learn from each other. I dont know if any of us have learned anything, but we are all having a lot of fun and we are enjoying the experience of spending time fellow RVing couples out in the Arizona Desert.
The RV in the background is a Unicat owned by Pat and Chris the couple in the Red and Yellow shirts on the left. It is an amazing Exploration Vehicle that is truly designed for this type of adventure. We met them in Maine a couple of years ago and we have kept in touch ever since the. They are looking to explore the west for the next couple of years in their Unicat and all of its amazing features designed in to allow them to boondock just about anywhere.
Jeff and Laurie are the couple in the center front row, and they have a 40' Holiday Rambler with about 800 watts of solar and 5 Lithium Batteries (the sun is their friend). We met them in New York in 2017 where they spend the summer months and they spend their winters in Arizona and boondocking is something they both are wanting to do lots more of. They are currently working remotely but will be retiring in August and looking forward to doing lots more traveling and discovering different locations through out the west.
The Couple in the center rear section are Scott and Tammy and we met up with them last summer in Oregon and Washington and they are one of the main reasons we are in this area. They recently purchased a plot of land just outside of Yuma and plan to build their perfect winter RV site on it and enjoy the Arizona winters then travel & explore the cooler parts of the country in the summer months. This is exactly the same plan Pearl and I are considering, so we are tying to learn from their experience. Scott has a Blackstone Tabletop Grill and has treated us all to some of his amazing culinary skills with it and we have put the Blackstone Grill on our must have list of RV accessories.
Come along with us and meet some of our best friends on this video and I am sure you will agree they are all a lot of fun and exactly like the folks we all hope to meet out on our RV Adventure.

Free Camping at Ogilby Road BLM near Yuma
*Update* New BLM Rules at Ogilby -
See the blog post for more details and photos -
In this video, I give you a look at our latest free dry camping spot located off Ogilby Road between Yuma, AZ and the Imperial Sand Dunes in California.
Also, in the video is footage of the drive in and a few close by spots to pick up supplies like water, fuel, propane and where to dump your waste tanks.
This is a great place to meet up with friends as the access is easy and the ground can support any type of rig even big Class A.
It's close to the little Mexican town of Los Algodones which serves snowbirds looking for dental work, eyeglasses, pharmaceuticals, souvenirs, booze, food etc. I love the shrimp tacos over there.
But if looking for a little bit of isolation the area is big enough to find a spot away from the crowd.
Signs posted say 14 days camping permitted.

Camping in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge Arizona
See full blog post -
In this video, I give you look at our campsites in the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. (Kofa NWR). We camped off Palm Canyon Road and visited in late January of 2016 and enjoyed it very much.
If you're into photography, hiking, and scenic views this place is a recommended spot for you.
Campsites are very primitive with no services but accessible to larger RVs. Access was on a graded flat gravel two lane road. I found the further in the better the views and the thicker the surrounding cactus became.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Imperial National Wildlife Refuge protects wildlife habitat along 30 miles (50 km) of the lower Colorado River in Arizona and California, including the last un-channeled section before the river enters Mexico. The Imperial Refuge Wilderness, a federally designated, 15,056-acre (60.93 km2), wilderness area is protected within the refuge. It also surrounds the Picacho State Recreation Area. This section of the Colorado River is popular for boating, hiking, fishing, camping, exploring old mining camps and wildlife watching.
The river and its associated backwater lakes and wetlands are a green oasis, contrasting with the surrounding desert mountains. It is a refuge and breeding area for migratory birds and local desert wildlife.

Free Speech: Can I Tell You How Much I Hate You?
Freedom of speech is fundamental in a democratic society. It means that a person or a community can express their opinion or ideas without fear of retaliation or censorship. But what happens when the opinions expressed are unpopular, violent or dangerous? Whether expressed in person, or through social media, words can have a powerful effect on our sense of safety, inclusion or exclusion, and equality or inequality. What is “hate speech?” Who decides what speech is protected, and what is not? Who regulates social media content? What is the impact on individuals and communities who are silenced?
On Saturday, January 11th, Gail Rhodes, adjunct professor at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, presents “Free Speech: Can I Tell You How Much I Hate You?” at 11:00 a.m. at the Main Library. Explore the complex history of first amendment freedoms of speech, expression and assembly in America.
The Main Library is located at 2951 S 21st Drive. For more information, call (928) 782-1871.
FRANK TALKS are free, thought-provoking, expert-facilitated discussions on important issues facing our communities produced in partnership with Arizona Humanities and the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records. For more information call 602-257-0335 Ext 26 or visit:

Arizona Desert Boondocking: Cibola, Yuma & Ajo - (Video Travelogue: Feb 2015)
Chris & Cherie of Technomadia.com share about their February 2015 travel adventures exploring and boondocking around the desert southwest.
We spent a delightful couples weeks on BLM land surrounding Cibola Wildlife Refuge, then boondocked a week off Ogilby Rd near Yuma,AZ and then joined up with friends off Darby Well Rd just south of Ajo and ended the month 'mooch docking' near Arizona City with friends.
What a fun winter, and we loved being off grid!
We've been on the road full time since 2006, working remotely the entire time - we love this lifestyle, and enjoy sharing about all aspects of it. We generally host and post a live video topic monthly (we pick a topic and host a Q&A session - technomadia.com/video for more info). We also post interviews with our nomadic friends every 4-6 weeks in our Ramblings series, and share a monthly travelogue from our own nomadic travels like this one. Thanks for joining us!
