Leaving Las Vegas behind, we head back to the wilderness and the red rock confines of the Valley of Fire State Park to boondock on Lake Mead within the Lake Mead Recreation Area at Stewarts Point. What used to be a fledgling lake front community is now a fantastic camping and boondocking area on the water...if you can get there over some potholes and bumpy roads it's a nice area.

We expected dry camping but we didn't expect our neighbors! Man oh man! There are 3 of them that we counted and they are all a bunch of A$$es. Sondra got pictures!

A secret trail? Of the 7 wonders? Did I hear that correctly? Sondra has found this secret trail on All Trails App so we are looking forward to hiking this scenic, secret trail...but what surprise awaits us? You'll see...

We also may need Matt's Off Road Recovery MORR for this one. It gets ugly fast!

From the East, we came out West to enjoy a nice warm winter season and to experience some first time activities for us. Although the winter weather has been up and down with temps in the 70's to down in the 40's we have enjoyed every minute of it. Our trip is over halfway finished for our westward trek but we have seen and enjoyed some epic adventures.
We are not Snow Birds but we do like nice warm weather and heading west is the best.

We will raise our solar panels and brush them off to power our stay and experience these epic treasures of Mother Nature.

RV Camping
We like to "Switch it Up" between resorts and campgrounds and boondocking is always an option.

We draw inspiration from Keep Your Daydream KYD, Less Junk More Journey, Finding Our Someday and Changing Lanes. We normally travel in an HDT similar to YouTube channels Suite Travels, Switch it Up and Watts on Wheels. I also get some ideas from the editing style of Happily Ever Hanks (Happilyeverhanks) #thankshanks and believe it or not, I actually learned something from MRBeast Mr Beast video's as well.

Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in our discovery of What's Next.

I get my music from:

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.

The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "unstuck" is from:

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multiplus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.

Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semitrailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.

Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semitrailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"

Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove

Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL

We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.
