Zion National Park - 2012

Fall is a great time to travel, and the open road is calling our name. We are eager to take the motor home out for a week or so and see how we like it. We took a look in our travel library and decided on a trip to Zion National Park in Utah.…

Colorado with Tommy - Goodbye Camper - 2012

We have so loved the ATV experience, being out in the fresh air in the back country. There is such joy riding together and looking out over the canyons, finding new trails, discovering that Indian ruin on the side of the canyon, taking a break…

Southeast - Washington, DC - 2009

  We left Tucson on March 26, 2009 early in the morning. First stop was at the Motor Vehicle Department to get the 5th wheel registered and affixed with a new AZ plate. We have had lots of experience with the DMV, some good, some not…

Forward

While Monty and I were working we spent many vacations in the canyon country of Utah and San Juan Mountains of Colorado. We loved nothing better than taking off in the truck with the camper and the ATV or jeep in tow and spending time in the…

Mexico Through the Years

Colorado 2015

2017 December Trip to Phoenix: A Quickie

On our usual trips to Phoenix we leave Zoe at home with a new dog bone and strict orders to run for the house if a coyote, or God forbid, a snake gets into the yard. As near as we can tell she follows the rules, doesn’t get into trouble…

Asheville, North Carolina 2011

When we travel a familiar road, and this is one of many Spring trips to Florida, we tend to choose favorite places to stay.  InLouisiana, it is usually in Lake Charles, at the Sam Houston Jones State Park.  This time we decided to try something…

Montana, Canada, Washington and Oregon 2014

The motorhome is washed the windows are sparkling, the travel info is stored in the breakfast nook, the brownies are safely stored in the oven, the pantry and fridge are full, Zoe is in her place, so I guess we are ready to roll.   This…

Northeast - Nova Scotia 2004

This was the summer we sampled Shoofly pie in the Amish County of Lancaster, Pennsylvania and feasted on lobster in York Harbor on the coast of Maine. At Ben and Jerry’s ice cream factory in Vermont we tasted new flavors, and mourned the demise…
