I love to travel, explore and make new friends. I'm currently yondering around with my classic camper, and write about it at

One of the tiny #mines in the Cargo Muchacho mountains. What that life must have been like. Crawling ever deeper into this little tunnel with no light or ventilation. Digging on your hands and knees in this confined space, where the heat is so brutal much of the year. ☀️🔥☠️

More free books! 😊👍 If you like cozy mysteries with amateur sleuths and more puzzles than gore, here are some good possibilities for you. #iheartmysteries

Desert plants are amazing! 😊 It's super dry around here, and it's a sparse desert without much but widely spaced creosote bushes and #ocotillos. But as soon as there's one day with a little bit of rain, the ocotillos are starting to turn green. 💚

The Cargo Muchacho mountains have old mining reminders scattered all over. The hills are pocked with holes here and there, where people were trying their luck. ⛏💰 #california #history

Zennie is enjoying her new spot over in the SoCal desert. Sunny, warm, room to spread her wings (in her mind, anyway!) 🚐🕊😂 Good place to hang for awhile. 😎

Another day, another desert sunset. 🌅 Some days I feel like this comes too soon. I'm not ready, haven't gotten enough work done yet. So I enjoy the #sunset, then keep working into the night... 👩‍💻🌠😜 #burningthecandle #neverenoughtime

Here's my free novella for anybody who's interested 📙. It's the prequel to the Silver City Cozy Mysteries series, which will be officially launching in a couple of weeks. 📆 But this one is available now! 👍 #freebooks ...

Last one from Organ Pipe! This is the view from the arch, and worth the work to get here. 🚶‍♀️👍
Word of warning... Don't be fooled by signs and descriptions. I thought this was going to be a quick, level, easy hike. It's the *opposite* of that. 🤷‍♀️😂 #itsaworkout

[Deanna Keahey @dkeahey]

I love this Organ Pipe scenery 😎💚, but I have to laugh when they talk about their "high country" ecosystems. The highest point in the whole place is 4,800 feet. 😂

The big guys down here in Organ Pipe National Monument - saguaro and organ pipe. They do have some impressive #cacti here! 🌵😮 #desert #organpipe

Free books! 📚This is the first promo that includes my cozy mystery novella, the lead-in prequel to the series. It's part of this group offer (everything here is free), so if you like lighthearted mysteries, take a look! #books #mysteries https://t.co/fkH7CSny8g

[Deanna Keahey @dkeahey]

Camped out at Gunsight Wash. Is that an Arizona-sounding name or what? 😜 And no, I'm not having vehicle problems! 🙄 No breakdown here in the boonies. It's just the standard thing around here to avoid #packrats chewing on your wiring... 🚫🐭 #desertcamping #nocritters

After reading the news day after day, I eventually decided that as much as I wanted to stay on a Baja beach, I should head back to the states. 😰 Who knows what the next month could bring in either Mexico or… https://t.co/w3qI4VbciS

[Deanna Keahey @dkeahey]

I sit at my #Baja beach camp reading the news, and there's a sense of unreality. The world is closing down piece by piece with dramatic attempts to halt the deadly #coronavirus spread. One day it's Harvard, then the NBA, then Italy. They declare an emer… https://t.co/ftoWv4G5gf

No bad days, right? 😀 ... It's a saying I love, and a sentiment I try to keep. But sometimes, it's hard.

You see, after some previous feedback, I decided I should figure out how to take an occasional picture with me in it! 🙄 So I set up the tripod to do just that, but discovered that a 10-second s… https://t.co/g4j793jtAR

From the big #beach where Zennie is parked, there are a bunch of paths that lead over the hills and down to smaller beaches like this. You can also walk around the rocks to get there (easiest… https://t.co/MvqUVQp9SE
