Dawn of a New Year - January 1, 2025 We stayed New Year’s Eve at BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land just west of Tucson. I was up early enough to capture this image of the first dawn of the new year. For those who are not familiar with camping on BLM land, there are certain open areas where you are allowed to drive your RV out and set up. There are no utilities and you are expected to leave nothing behind but tire tracks. MWM
Why stay when you can go to BLM land?
Now we are back home and settled after a weekend of camping we are back to getting ready for the Nomad Gathering in the Desert on weekend of May 19th.
During the Nomad Gathering we’ll be having a Talent show, an outdoor movie “Off the Maps”, live music by Jer Killinger Singer/Songwriter , J5th & the 77 Riders , and BINGO!
One of the things we heard a lot before opening up for camping is why would someone pay when they can go to BLM land for free.
We had questioned the same thing, we had heard stories about camping at some BLM lands, but never had experienced it ourselves.
After this last weekend we now understand why some rather pay. Our place isn’t much different than BLM, you can hike for miles, beautiful views, sunsets, sunrises over the mountains, very little light pollution which makes sky viewing beyond your beliefs. But we also offer security, respect, not going to walk through your campsite without permission.
We offer a few amenities, a toilet and hopefully the shower soon. You can socialize or stay to yourself, you can have food delivered to your site (the menu can be found on the website), we also have the new miniature Dusty Nail General Store which offers home made wash cloths, art prints and originals, build your own charm jewelry, “I survived music in the desert” t shirts, schedule a henna tattoo, tours of the mesa for those that might not be able to hike it, oh and you get a cell signal. These few things are what makes the difference and we feel security, respect and cell signal is the main reason. These are things we lacked while camping on BLM land this last weekend. We had to make our own security..
We like to hear from you, are there more we can offer that would make your stay more comfortable?

Clouds Over Bluff - April 2022 When we left Quartzsite, we headed east toward New Mexico. The trip to Rusty’s RV Ranch was too much for one day, so we stopped at BLM land in Tucson. As the sun set, the clouds above the bluff, as well as the bluff, turned red. The second image is the view through our RV window of that bluff when we first arrived. MWM

Grand Junction Elopement at the Botanical Gardens and BLM Land
This Grand Junction elopement at the Botanical Gardens & BLM Land Overlook was such an incredible day full of love and beauty! We started the afternoon with Jaya and Mike at the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens (want to get married there? click here for more info on my blog!) where the two got dressed separately for a first look in the rainforest room. I said hello to the little grey kitty who…
