Lost Dutchman State Park Campground, Apache Junction, Arizona - I was so excited to go there. We drove through the campground back in 2021 when we flew down here to look for a homebase. I have tried to get reservations but they are always filled up. Finally, 6 months ago when the booking window opened,... Continue Reading →
Hot Tuna Buns, Goat Heads, Walkin’ Main, Cottonwood, AZ
I had written on the fridge white board “Dinner: Hot Tuna Buns.” LOL As a reminder, years and years ago I had found a recipe for Hot Tuna Buns. I thought perhaps it would be like a tuna melt and I thought it sounded good. When Kevin asked what was for dinner that night back... Continue Reading →

Custer’s Last Stand & My Funny Mistake, Montana
On our Travel Day to Garryowen, Montana, I read out loud to Kevin the book I am reading, “The Summer of 1876” by Chris Wimmer. Excellent book!

Kevin and I, along with our friends Richard & Bridget, went sunset-chasing, again, in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This time we had plenty of time and enjoyed watching from our camp chairs.

July 4th Week (Michigan)
Today we headed the opposite direction from yesterday and went to Port Huron, Michigan. I was really excited to see this town. We were careful to watch the signs so we didn’t get in the lane on I-94 that goes to Canada. In fact, we got off the exit before the last one, accidentally. But... Continue Reading →
Airbnb? Vacation? Nope. Why?
What do you do when traveling full-time around the country and your RV needs worked on? For 2 weeks? And you can’t stay in it while they have it? And you have a full fridge and freezer that won’t be plugged in? And your honey still needs to work remotely? We did a lot of... Continue Reading →
