Recently, we stopped by a local RV dealer to look at off road trailers small enough to get outback and able to be pulled by Otis easily. We ended up at Toms Camperland in Mesa and later went over to their Avondale location to look at a particular camper. When we were in the Mesa location, we saw a Black Series for the first time and learned that they had a series of tent campers ranging from very small to very large. Armed with this information we set out to see one set up. After calling around a day or two, we heard back from the Avondale location that they had a display of the very camper we wanted to consider. Follow along as we explore this beast of a tent camper. If you have interest in this brand, please visit https://www.blackseriescamper.com/.

We paid almost $200 to have hazy headlights restored on our Murano but not this time. This is quite an easy process that took us less than an hour and a half to complete from start to finish. An easy process that just takes a little elbow grease and a small amount of patience to conquer those dim lenses on older headlights.

Many people haven't even seen an SUV tent before let alone set one up and reviewed it. We got this tent from Walmart (no affiliation) and had to make some stark revelations about it.

We had the opportunity to visit Blue Ridge Expedition trailers and see how they are built. In a word, these trailers are "impressive"!. We want to thank Mike and Bryan for giving us this opportunity to peek into their build cycle of these very capable and very well appointed as well as thought out and designed trailers.

Part one of our Labor Day weekend adventure took us to the Mogollon Rim near Happy Jack Arizona. Not quite the terrain you would expect for Arizona but very welcome none-the-less. We were neck deep in the Coconino Forest on FSR300 or "Rim Drive". This road follows the rim cliffs with an occasional weave in and out of the forest. Temperatures were 20-30 degrees cooler there than in the valley. The Mogollon Rim is a topographical and geological feature cutting across the northern half of the U.S. state of Arizona. It extends approximately 200 miles (320 km), starting in northern Yavapai County and running eastward, ending near the border with New Mexico. It forms the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau in Arizona.

After our Adventure earning Otis's first Badge of Honor last week, we stopped by Lake Pleasant Regional Park in Maricopa County just outside Phoenix. Lake Pleasant is a beautiful lake with a somewhat rocky but abundant shoreline that you can drive right up to. In addition, there are several miles of hiking trails that go as far as Table Mesa area and a well appointed campground. There is also a discovery center that Shows many exhibits about the area. Lake Pleasant has a Bald Eagle program that allows a nursery in the park for the Bald Eagles to breed and rear their young there. There is also a Bald Eagle cam available to watch on the parks website. (Link below). There is lots of history at Lake Pleasant and is part of the Agua Fria basin and has been inhabited by many native peoples including Yavapai and Apache Nations and was first inhabited around 700AD.

We snuck out Sunday morning to head to Table Mesa so we could start Otis on his Badge of Honor quest. This will be his first. The trail wasn't much more than a moderately trafficked road going into the back side of Lake Pleasant Regional Park but there were plenty of side trails just waiting to be ridden. Otis earned his badge and then we set off to find something a little more suitable for a V8 powered 4X4. We found several off shoot trails that were considerably narrow and may have been more suitable for a side by side UTV but Otis doesn't give up so easily .... until we got to a ravine with an almost sheer drop off.

I went on a short ride to the north side of Phoenix Metro area in Fountain Hills to a great park that has a lot of amenities. McDowell Regional Park has miles of competition level mountain bike trails, hundreds of hiking trails, Open Group Camping areas for equestrian use as well as general use, Boy Scout areas and a great campground. Cost is $7.00 per vehicle to enter the park but if you have a use for the above, it is a bargain. When I was there, I saw many variety of fowl like dove, partridge, roadrunners and such, signs of deer and several rabbits.

One night I decided to go for a drive in the desert to see what I could find. It's a good thing I did because I discovered a beautiful lake called Canyon Lake in the middle of Tonto National Forest. Ride along and check it out with me.

To get a reprieve from the heat, Crystal and I moseyed on down to Tucson area and drove up the Mt. Lemmon Scenic Byway to camp for a night. The following morning we were to come back down the mountain on the control road going on the east side of Mt. Lemmon. What a gorgeous trip it was! Tucson was bathed in greenery if you can imagine that in the desert. Mesquite trees and Palo Verde trees were everywhere shining their green glow across the landscape. We stopped a couple times to snap a couple pictures then it was up the mountain. As we ascended the mountain, it was almost whimsical to watch the temperature gauge start dropping as we gained altitude. Starting off near 100 degrees in Tucson, we dropped about 30 degrees to the point we stopped for the night. The evening held a wonderful sunset we peered at through the trees of our magnificent campsite for the evening. We were nestled in among the long needle pines surrounded by chunks of beautiful granite protruding from just below the surface of ground. Of course this made driving stakes in almost impossible. We climbed into our roof top tent after sharing a back packer meal and settled in for the night with a calming breeze rushing through the trees that lulled us to sleep like a sweet lullaby. THe morning came in a hurry for us and we started our day with Sausage Grits and scrambled eggs then made our way to our next journey. Stay tuned for next week when we continue the saga of Mt. Lemmon, Up One Side and Down The Other.

Happenstance brought us to this great First People's Heritage site. When looking for a route for another adventure, we noticed this National Monument that was right there right on the way. An early morning slight detour led us down a long road in a fenced off area of the desert. It didn't take long to see that massive canopy made of steel standing off in the distance and we knew our destination was just ahead. We pulled into the parking lot and asked about a fee from a nearby ranger as we had not seen an entrance gazebo. There was no fee! It was a free park. We scurried along the path to the ruins and this video is a result of what we encountered. We hope you enjoy seeing something different and not well known.

If you have not had a chance to travel this road yet, make a plan to do so as soon as you can. Early morning or later afternoon is our favorite times to descend into Oak Creek Canyon. This video covers our travels north on Arizona 89A from Sedona through the canyon. We hope you enjoy the serene atmosphere we tried to capture for you. Beautiful cliffs and towering mountains jutting up on both sides give you a sense of how small we really are. The majesty of the mountains really prevails in this route.

Our weekend in Prescott and Sedona ended with a drive down the Van Deren Cabin OHV trail to the Devils Bridge hiking trail where we hiked until we saw the bridge and got our obligatory photo. The trail from the Van Deren trailhead was packed again as this is in fact Sedona - a touristy location. It was at times hard to believe how many people were making the almost 6 mile there and back trek to see Devils Bridge; many even hiking beyond that. The road was rocky like Schnebley Hill again and the hiking trail didn't look any better as there were many outcrops and loose rocks along the path. All that was mere pittance because we were in Sedona! Where the red rocks are! Beauty on both sides of the trails as we were greeted with Bristlecone pines, Yucca, and cactus of every variety as well as stunning views of breathtaking cliffs above us. I don't know if there is ever a less crowded time to visit Sedona but it is certainly a bucket list recommendation from us here at Overland Wanderlust. Crystal and I will be going back several more times I'm sure as there are an abundance of off roading trails and hikes to do.

We had such a great time this weekend first on the Mogollon rim (previous video) and finishing up doing the Schnebley Hill Trail from I-17 to Sedona. From what people have told me, the trail was in great shape but I suppose from my lack of experience on this type of terrain, I thought it was horrible. But ... that's why we bought a jeep. Sedona is one of the most magical places in the north western hemisphere and we hope to return one day when the crowds aren't quite as large. It'll probably be during a time when nobody in their right minds would be out and about but one day I assure you, we will return to take in the sights of Sedona.

This feels like a story that should begin "One time at band camp..." But it's far from that. We had a weekend to explore between Prescott and Flagstaff, AZ. We found places to disburse camp (free camping if you're unsure what that means) and discovered a few things along the way. Ever heard about Doc Holliday Wyatt Earp's best friend and excellent marksman? Well his girlfriend Big Nose Kate is buried in Prescott! As well, we visited the graves of the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshots that perished in a fire a couple years ago while working to put it out. Read more about it here. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-wildfires/2018/06/24/granite-mountain-hotshots-only-brave-memorial-site/674512002/ Likewise, we also visited Watson lake, a beautiful city lake and park in Prescott with huge boulder outcrops surrounding the lake. After which we took off towards Sedona and kept right on going straight down AZ89A highway through what we believe is the most beautiful scenery in Arizona (if you don't want to look at cactus) Up just past Oak Creek Canyon at around 8000' is plenty of disbursed camping areas. We were a short distance south of Kachina Village on AZ 89A still off on some fire service road for the forestry service. Cool breezes and tall pine trees led to one beautiful night in the forest. At this point, we had returned back to Coconino NF. We woke up Sunday Morning to bugling elk and 43 degrees to which we opted to drive back to Sedona and have a hot breakfast. Afterwards we went for a short drive and hike to devils bridge and other points around Sedona before heading back home. We look forward to returning there soon to do more exploring.

Early morning; especially before 6am is hard to motivate. We were up to take Michael to work in Scottsdale so I decided to wake up a bit with some coffee at an overlook in Fountain Hills, AZ. Fountain Hills is a International Dark Sky Community so it would be extra good. We had planned to go do a hike somewhere and settled on Gilbert Riparian Preserve - Dead in the center of Gilbert, AZ. A short drive from Fountain Hills got us there with no early morning traffic to worry about. The Water Ranch (as it's called) has trails going around several "Filtering" lakes that make a great wetland for birds (hence the "Riparian" part) Basically it's the final stage of a water processing system that filters water through the ground back into the aquifer. Evidence of mainly geese and ducks was everywhere with an occasional bunny, squirrel, and a whole host of birds from Egrets to Desert Quail (or partridge for those not in the desert) The pathways weren't crowded but there were a fair number of people holding onto binoculars, cameras on monopods with telephoto lenses and some just recording the birds on their phones. It made for a nice almost 2 mile hike to get the blood flowing. We highly recommend visiting here if you're in the area. To find out more about Water Ranch Trails at the Gilbert Riparian Preserve, you can look on AllTrails app or go here. https://www.gilbertaz.gov/departments/parks-and-recreation/riparian-preserve-at-water-ranch If you'd like to get involved and have more interaction with us, head over to Patreon and sign up.

If you haven't watched part 1 of the video, do so afterwards. There will be a link at the end of the video. This week we continue on our journey across Mt. Lemmon in Pima County Arizona near Tucson. We entered the fire road and were met instantly with burn scar. It was an awful sight to behold but in an eerie way, it didn't deter from the beauty. The road was rocky and at times just wide enough for a single vehicle to pass. The dust was high as we had not had the monsoons we were accustomed to. In fact, we hadn't hardly had any. It was still tinder dry and I worried about another fire starting. As the road wound its way down and through the mountains, we were met with a couple but not many cars, motorcycles and UTV side by sides. The road wasn't traveled much at all that day. As we continued down, we went through beautiful mesquite groves and into a valley at Peppersauce Campground (yes that's its real name) that had the most beautiful stand of Sycamore trees I'd ever seen. Boldly standing with their forest green canopies and starched white bark. It was a sight! We ended up the day in Oracle eating lunch at a cute cafe.

After reading about a trail here locally just inside Tonto National Forest, we decided to check it out. A permit was required to get the gate opened but we took care of all the necessary paperwork directly online. Bulldog Canyon was rated as easy to moderate and according to the book we purchased from amazon, (Check it out here - amazon.com/gp/product/1934838195/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) the trail was in better than expected condition. Well apparently that was some time ago. We found the trail from Bush Hwy about a third of the way in to be decent shape. There were some rocks exposed but nothing too hard to get through. The next third proved to be getting worse and worse and was making a kidney salad with the exposed and loose rocks. The last third of the trail was the worst as it was mainly a scramble over beach ball sized rocks while dodging pointed ones in the driveway. Overall, it was a fun but hard day behind the wheel and the next couple days I felt the fatigue the trail had bestowed upon my out of shape body. We would certainly go back through again and maybe do some exploring on side trails and such. Definitely pack a lunch and take plenty of water with you. You'll need it.
