Today is the start of the 3rd day of being nomadic. I was going to start this journal yesterday but got tied up with work. I also could not decide if I wanted something written or to do some sort of video journal. This format won because I could easily do it each morning for a few minutes. So here is a run down so far of our travels.
May 23, we left the old house and headed up to Prescott. It was an odd feeling knowing that was it for us there. We thought we knew where we were going to end up so we had lunch at place in Prescott. However, each of the places we went to was lacking cell signal. Even a place we went to before that did have signal. all of a sudden didn't have signal. We were going to go to Flagstaff until I notice we hit national forest land and there was someone pulled off on one of the roads it seemed. We took the next road in the dark (thankfully it was near full moon) and we found a pull off to stay for the night. Needless to say we were all tired.

May 24, we discovered the road that the spot we were at lead to a ranch, so there were not other areas there. It also seemed the pull off was used as a shooting range for people based on the amount of spent brass and the remains of targets. There was a single trailhead earlier but that's it. Barb spent the day in the truck looking for another spot with signal. She was burnt out by the time she came back, but she did find one other spot that we moved to that afternoon.
May 25, I'm not 100% sure this spot is for camping but as long as no one bothers us, we will be here at least through the Memorial Day Weekend before we head up to Flagstaff. It's sad but right now it seems like while Prescott has easy access to water and dump, they have not camp sites that have cell signal for us. Flagstaff has a few spots (I can remember at least 2) but the water and dump situation is a bit different.
