When the Jeep Keeps Going but the Motorhome Says Nope

What began as a two-week off-road adventure in Apache Junction stretched into nearly three, thanks to a cracked motorhome hitch and a botched window repair. We hit the trails with the Escapees Jeepers BOF group near Cottonwood, made new friends with ice cream in the desert heat, and battled trail damage to Rubi.

With the 2024 Presidential election only the following week, the city was buzzing with an extra large security presence, rallies, and protests. Still, we made the most of it, weaving through all that to explore new sights. Continue reading Exploring D.C. Amid the Pre-Election Buzz
