As I’ve talked about before, we love exploring the Arizona desert in our RZR. We are lucky to have several hundred miles that also include old mines, caves and interesting buildings close to home. We’ve always stayed in Quartzsite at Park Place RV because its centrally located to the trails we like to ride. However,…

Chili Verde
We have a restaurant near us that rotates their soup of the day. I love going there on Thursdays because that’s Chile Verde day. As I’ve confessed before, I’m a soup girl. I like it any time of year. I’ll often make a pot of Chicken Noodle or Tomato Soup when Mark’s on travel. One…
Lemon Blueberry Cooler
We came across a wonderful drink over the weekend! Our summer hasn’t been as hot this year, thank goodness. But, the last ten days feel like Mother Nature’s revenge for the fabulous temps. Holy cow it’s been hot! Aside from my morning iced tea, I drink lots and lots of water. My hydration is great, a…
Breakfast Sandwiches
Many of our trips involve big drive days home. Sharing a monster drive isn’t an issue. Many times, we leave early, really early. We pack up and dump everything the night before. Then we make breakfast. Wait, what? You read that right. Sometimes we have cinnamon rolls. More times it’s something we make the night…
Labor Day
Labor Day was set aside way back in 1894 to honor the American labor movement and contributions made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of our country. It also marks the unofficial end of summer, a time folks in hot Arizona are welcoming with open arms! Enjoy your day and thank those that are…

Easy Pineapple Cake Mix Cookies
I love cake mix cookies, especially in the RV. They are quick and easy to make and really good. You can turn pretty much any cake mix into a cookie. Some of my favorites are Red Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies and Easy Cake Mix Cookies. Today’s cookies are born from a shopping mistake. First…

Bar 10 Ranch
Our visit to Bar 10 Ranch is probably Mark’s best adventure find. Who wouldn’t want to sleep in a covered wagon close to the Grand Canyon North Rim? He showed me a few pictures and I was all-in. He read about it on a RZR forum. It didn’t take much research to decide we needed…
