Days 6-10: Heron Lake State Park, Chama, NM

Friday, August 6, 2021 We left the Oasis RV Resort and Cottages site in Durango, Colorado around 10:00 AM for the 118-mile drive to our next destination. The drive through the mountains of Colorado was absolutely stunning. It was really hard to restrain myself from pulling over to the side of the road to snap …

On The Road Again, Day 6: N. Little Rock AR to Tupelo MS

We made it!! Our Thanksgiving Pilgrimage is complete! We left the Downtown Riverside RV Park in North Little Rock around 9:20 this morning, but not before I took a sunrise walk on the pedestrian bridge over the river.

The Wedding Cache, End of Hiking, September Travel Plans Made

From Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona: It's still definitely summer here at 8,100', although the daytime temperatures rarely exceed 81° or 82°.

Hello, 911, We Need a Rescue

We're just starting our fifth full day in our latest campsite on Forest Road 151, just north of Flagstaff, Arizona. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to park for a couple of weeks.

Dead Batteries Again, Geocaching, Maintenance

It wouldn't be RV life without something in the rig breaking or malfunctioning, but we didn't expect it to be the house batteries. We just replaced them a week ago. As I mentioned before, since we've been boondocking in the desert, we've been running the generator for an hour in the morning and an hour …
