Elephant Butte Lake State Park
New Mexico is a colorful and dramatic state of deserts and mountains. Water is a precious commodity. Which lead to the authorization of the Rio Grande Project back in 1905. This program to provide power and irrigation to New Mexico and Texas led to the erection of several dams along the Rio Grande, including the Elephant Butte Dam just north of Truth or Consequences. The resulting Elephant Butte Reservoir, however, is more than just a holding tank for farmer's fields. It has become a recreation hotspot as Elephant Butte Lake State Park.
Shakespeare Ghost Town
Southern New Mexico is a harsh desert environment. The winds whip by at intensities provoking an early warning system for dust storms and sun protection is warranted even in the winter. Yet, scrappy people have lived and even thrived in this area for generations. Some stay. Some move on. A bit of both is found in Shakespeare's Ghost Town, the remains of a thriving mining town now passed down through a family of caretakers and conservationists.
Castle Dome Mine Road
Kofa Wilderness Refuge is a special destination to us. It's the first place we ever boondocked and we fell in love with the remote and dramatic rock formations. That said, as much as we have explored the area, we stuck to relatively major roads in the past. Yes, all of Kofa's roads are dirt, and, yes, they can have some mean washboard or washouts. But the main arteries in the park that connect to the highway are recognizable on maps, wide enough for two vehicles to easily pass, and easily distinguished from the rest of the landscape. But when we turn down Castle Dome Mine Road, we don't encounter another soul. And we're grateful for that because this trail gets incredibly narrow and rough with tight turns and high brush. But when we reach a clear vista point, that view is all ours.
Boondocking Outside Lake Havasu
Lake Havasu is a popular resort destination on the border of Arizona and California. It's charming, from the little of it that we've seen. But it's sufficiently built up to not be a place for boondocking. While much of the lakefront is privately held or part of limited-use parks, most of the land on the outskirts of Lake Havasu is Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wilderness and open to dry camping. So, when we roll through on the lookout for a place to spend the night, we may not have a lakefront campsite, but we certainly have a fantastic view.
Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail
There's no shortage of activities to enjoy along the shores of Lake Mead. The expansive reservoir is flanked by mountains for hiking, surrounded by beaches for exploring, and filled with water for boating. But we feel like biking. And after a visit to the Lake Mead Recreation Area's Visitor Center, we have a recommendation: the Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail.
Boulder Beach Campground
Boulder Beach Campground is one of many camping options in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area—minutes outside of Las Vegas, straddling the border of Nevada and Arizona. There are even dispersed campsites along the lakeshore. But for those looking for convenience, it's hard to do better than Boulder Beach.
Omega Mart
For all the craft of Hollywood, the ingenuity of Silicon Valley, the eloquence of authors painting the images of alien terrains in our mind's eye, we have not been able to touch these bizarre and fantastical worlds of imagination. And yet, in an industrial corner of Las Vegas, a collective of artists have created a captivating dystopian parallel universe known as Omega Mart. And we can poke and prod every corner of it. In fact, that's the point.
Circus Circus RV Park
It may be a glorified parking lot but the Circus Circus RV Park has showers, laundry, and RV hookups right off the Las Vegas Strip.
