Desert Dreams We’re Lisa and Todd—Ohio transplants now living in the rural desert foothills west of Tucson.

Follow us as we build a sustainable off-grid homestead from the ground up. We'll share the ups, downs, and everything in between on our journey to self-reliance.

Not something you want to see in the dry, lonely desert, especially close to your property! Apparently an a/c repair truck got stuck in a sand wash on the way to a job in our area and the hot engine caught the grass on fire. Next thing you know 4 combustible tanks blew! Driver was safe but definitely shook up. The truck was a flaming charred shell of what once was.

Todd and I were ready to go grab shovels and put out the smaller fires with sand, but more O2 and acetylene could have blown at any second.

Fortunately the TPFD made it to the fire in under 20 mins and the fire was put out quickly. SO THANKFUL for them and that no one was hurt and the fire was contained quickly.

Thank you Pima County!! Hayhook Ranch appreciates the road maintenance crew!! 🥰

I love rainy days in the high desert! So few and far between, and a blessing in so many ways.

Just found this little beauty right where I walk the dogs. I'm not sure exactly what or where it is now, but it is getting bigger and there is most likely a nest close by. Message received loud and clear! 😳 ⚠️🐍🌵

Drove the Titan to the 120 to see if it could handle the washes and terrain. It did great! It was like being in safari seeing all the animals along the way. Next step is to secure a tractor and start clearing land so we can plan the OTG homestead build.

Sitting on our porch this evening watching the rain slowly move across the valley and to our north. The breeze is indescribable! Still no moving van, but that's OK.
