Bog Springs Campground Madera Canyon

Usually don't pay to stay, but still waiting on a few necessary item's in the mail, and the valley below is beginning to heat up. Decided it was time for a short excursion into the hills.

Bog springs campground is located 13 miles southeast of Green Valley,AZ in Madera Canyon. Cost is $10 a night. Each site has garbage, water, bear box, and picnic table. Vehicles over 22' are not recommended, but saw some larger rigs up there. Pets are welcome as long as there leashed, and there is a ton of hiking trails. Verizon switched from 3g to 4g. Sites are limited around 12 I believe, so weekends can fill up quickly. Here's a few more pics...

Paved roads to every site.

Overall was a good stay. I'll be back on that occasional winter day when temps heat up. Thanks for visiting. Good Day!

Dirty Drawers

4 years 1 month, and 28 days of living in the Arizona dust, and the kitchen/family room/bathroom/bedroom drawers had developed a layer on them that even the toughest arsenal of cleaners could not remove. No need for pictures. Time for a remodel, so after about a 2 second decision of whether to build, or buy new ones I was off to wal-mart 10 minutes, and $11.88 later I had purchased my new cabinets even got black this time. After another 10 arduous  minutes the removal, install, and transfer of previous items was complete. 

New cabinets

Also added 2 more batteries for a total of 4, which should get me thru the cloudiest days of monsoon season.

And to top it off. No pun intended. I installed a flow-rite battery filler, which makes topping off all 4 of the batteries breeze especially in such confined areas.

Hiding out at the folks for the weekend as temps in Tucson are reaching the upper 80's, no complaints as I am well aware what the rest of the country is still experiencing. Waiting on a few more nomadic tools to be delivered before my summer adventure starts. Thanks for visiting. Good Day!

Update: Was just informed of the passing Of Leonard Knight R.I.P. For those who don't know his work he spent a majority life building Salvation Mountain.

Memory foam

Already 3 1/2 a months in Tucson, which as far to long for any nomad to linger in one spot, but the downtime, and living free rent has allowed me to save a few bucks, and let me work on my list of much needed upgrades. Well worth the wait in my opinion. More solar, more batteries, and finally getting rid of all those lil green cylinders.

Solar's been been working great haven't had to use the generator since the install back in November. Until maybe today, when the weather went from sunny, and 80 to cloudy, and 60, but ill take it over the so called polar vortex that looms over the rest of the country.

 After sleeping on a popped air mattress, or basically a piece of plywood  for over a year. Finally decided to pull the trigger, and purchased me a queen size 3 inch memory foam mattress topper. Some may think queen size is a bit overkill, but hey it fits!

Candy concurs memory foam kicks the heck out off a plywood any day of the week. That's it for now. Thanks for visiting! Good Day!
