The wildflowers arrived.

Throwback to our Arizona Ironwood Meet-up over NYE. I don’t have an awning for my minivan camper conversion yet so I made do with a tapestry over my main entrance. #minivancamperconversion #minivancamper #minivanconversion #minivancamping #minivanlife #minivancampervan #minivanadventures #minivanlifediaries #youtubemeetup #desertadventuresinarizona #fit4expedition #ronseesamerica #mellownomadicadventures #nomadicmovement #vanlife #mellownomadic #weirdosunite #vanlifediaries #meetinarizona #ironwoodforestnationalmonument #nomadicadventures #boondockinginminivan #boondockinglife #offgridliving #offgridcamper #nationalmonument #arizonalove #nomadiccreators #nomadiclifestarterkit #desertcamping (at Ironwood Forest National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfPt7IoOMfS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2023 Arizona Ironwood Nomadic YouTube meetup was an enormous success! There was 29 different nomadic rigs and 38 nomads! We had some cool outings, ate delicious food, and had campfires every night! Thank you to Steve of @desert_adventures_in_arizona and his wife Oki who were co-organizers and hosts for this 2nd annual event! Are you interested in the 2024 meetup?

Spring hits the desert - vernal equinox at dawn, Ironwood Forest National Monument. It has been a remarkably rainy past few months and patches of the landscape look like golf course greens than the desert.

BIG thanks to @scottajacobsrt for taking Greg from @fit4expedition_fun_seekers and myself out in his @suzukisamuraiofamerica 🇺🇸 We explored a cemetery near the old mining town of Silver Bell, checked out a closer look at Ragged Top Mountain, and enjoyed the company of Roy from @royandbeckystravels during our time together in Ironwood Forest National Monument! #desertadventuresinarizona #ironwoodforestnationalmonument #bureauoflandmanagement #scottjacobsinappreciation #fit4expedition #royandbeckystravels #suzukisamurai #youtubecreators #onlyinarizona #boondockinglife #minivanadventures #vanlife #rvlife #arizonalife #mellownomadicadventures #mellownomadic #nomadicadventures #mellownomads #nomadicmovement #weirdosunite #digitalnomadlife #desertlover #vanlifedíaries #minivanlifediaries #minivancamping #silverbellcemetery #maranaaz #dirtroads #letscollab #arizonaadventures (at Ironwood Forest National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-iK1epVLc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Do you know what type of lizard this is? We seen this little one while we were camping in the Ironwood Forest National Monument for the Arizona Meetup over New Year’s weekend. I had never seen a lizard like this. It looks like a skeleton of a lizard. And it blends in with the dirt for ultra stealthiness.

Do you like views like this? While we were camping in Ironwood Forest National Monument, we had views like this every day. I love how the sun is hitting the mountains in the distance. I am realizing that I take a ton of photos however most are for my own personal remembrance of these experiences and not necessarily to share on Instagram. Trying to remember to snap a few for the ‘Gram moving forward. I am having a great time exploring Arizona and visiting family. I hope you all are having a great year so far as well! #mountainphotography #arizonamountains #arizonasunset #enjoytheview #icanseeclearlynow #nomadicexperience #nomadicmovement #mellownomadicadventures #nomadicadventures #mellownomadic #youtubecreator #digitalnomad #ironwoodforestnationalmonument #nationalmonument #freecamping #arizonacamping #campinarizona #meetinarizona #arizonavanlife #vanlife #vanlifemovement #minivanlifemovement #vanlifediaries #minivanlifediaries #minivanadventures #boondocking #boondockinginminivan #desertadventuresinarizona #fit4expedition #fit4fun (at Ironwood Forest National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca0D2aWvKEM/?utm_medium=tumblr

The saguaro cactus lives for hundreds of years! It can take 10 years for it to reach 1” in height. By the time it turns 70 years old, it can be up to 6 feet tall and start producing its first flowers. #saguaro #saguarocactus #cactilovers #arizonadesert #sonorandesert #desertlife #arizonalife #ironwoodforestnationalmonument #meetinarizona #arizonameetup2022 #mellownomadicadventures #mellownomadic #nomadicadventures #minivanlife #vanlife #nomadiclife #nomadicmovement #arizonahiking #blueskylover #cloudloversunite #minivanlifediaries #vanlifediaries #minivancamper #boondocking #boondockinglife #boondockinginminivan #arizonacamping #singlelifestyle #arizonadesert #desertadventuresinarizona (at Ironwood Forest National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaKip0kJ4G9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Which do you prefer, rain or shine? While I was boondocking in my minivan, Carol, in the Ironwood Forest National Monument area as part of the New Year’s Eve YouTube Arizona Meetup, we had both! Rain followed by a rainbow on the left and sunshine on the right! I love photography and being out in nature to experience these phenomenon and be able to capture them on film and share with you!

Do you know what this means? It was really neat to see these petroglyphs with Steve from @desert_adventures_in_arizona as our guide. Accompanied also by Greg from @fit4expedition_funseekers and Ron from @ronseesamerica , we had a beautiful view from the top of the hill. It was a short drive to the start of the trail that led up the hill to these artifacts.
