Travel Day to Phoenix, Arizona. I packed up Chicken Cream Cheese Taquitos that I made yesterday so we could have them for our lunch today. I asked Kevin if he wanted to change things up and pull over for lunch on Travel Days or to do what we do and eat on the drive. He... Continue Reading →
“Don’t Read That Book To Yourself Anymore”, Las Vegas, NV
The drive to Clark County Shooting Complex, Las Vegas, Nevada was nice. There is a good campground here. Right in front of us is the shotgun range. So fun to watch. The shooting complex is only about 9 minutes from my cataract surgeon’s office and hospital. This made it easy for my follow up and... Continue Reading →
Winter Blast Fireworks, Lake Havasu, AZ
This week we were at Winter Blast to see the firework shows right from our campground in Lake Havasu, AZ. A few minutes before I woke up we received a great email - we got into Alliance Rally! Wahoo. Alliance is the brand that made our 5th wheel. We went to their national rally last... Continue Reading →
A Catch-Up For You, Reader. :) Homebase.
If you know us or have been reading this blog for a long time, you know Kevin and I have a homebase. We lived for many years in northern Utah. During the time we started camping back in 2020 (camping 180+ days in 16 months) we decided we wanted a change. Not only to travel... Continue Reading →
Jerome, AZ
The day after Thanksgiving we were still camping with our friends, Wendi and Bob, and his parents at Clarkdale, Arizona. We all loaded up in Wendi’s car around 10:15 a.m. and went to Jerome, Arizona. Kevin and I had been here before, back in 2022. What a fun place. Jerome is an old mining town... Continue Reading →
Lost Dutchman, AZ & Being The Only Deaf Person At Mini Sewing Retreat
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 →
Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, Plus, Check Out The Food Rating
Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, was our next place to stay. We got to Lava Campground (as opposed to KOA Lava Campground that comes up on google) at check in time, 3:00 p.m. The email instructions said to go straight to our site. The trees on the mountains are gorgeous! You have the green pine trees... 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! The cool thing is, right where I was in the book it is talking about the details of the battle at Little Bighorn. Kevin said “WE ARE DRIVING... Continue Reading →
Our 49th State Visited! And, Another National Park
The scenery is the same as we have seen all around the past few states. Lots of trees, occasionally a view past trees that have been removed, no farming at all on our way to Ray, Minnesota. Ray is unincorporated and we see a church and the Boondocks Bar and Grill. Nothing else around. We... Continue Reading →
