Oh Moab, two days was not enough! We’ve been to Moab several times, although more times than I’d like to admit, our only stop was for gas. Our first time in town was technically a drive through on our way from Park City to Telluride. Yes, staying on I-70 to Grand Junction then south was…

Jeeping in Breckenridge
Breckenridge trails, here we come. This trip had been on Mark’s radar for a while. We love spending time in Colorado both in the summer and winter. Our Jeep is a veteran of the Telluride/Ouray area but this would be our first time in Breckenridge. We love exploring in our Jeep and were excited for…
Playing Near Happy Jack & Mormon Lake
Memorial Day is the unofficial beginning of summer for most of the country. Here in the Arizona desert, it started with our first 100 degree day. This year it was early, too early, way back on April 10th. Memorial Day for many desert dwellers means heading to the lake or up in altitude to the…
The All Important Weather App
You have your travel planning apps, fuel apps and fitness apps. They are all key apps to have for RV travel. But don’t forget one of the most important apps: weather. Currently I have seven weather apps on my phone. I know, seven may seem excessive but I used to have nine. You could say I’m…
Silver Strand State Beach Campground
Sun, surf and sand? Yes please. Growing up in Southern California the beach was a big part of my life. Anytime we get the chance to get back for some fun in the sun, I am all in. Silver Strand State Beach fits the bill. Silver Strand is a nice little campground in the state…
Winter in Telluride
It’s time to ski and Telluride is calling. For us, Telluride is an easy 8-hour drive. How can I say easy and 8-hour in the same sentence? Well, the trip breaks up nicely so it doesn’t really feel like eight hours. We drive up the mountain to Flagstaff where we top off the gas and…
Playing in Park City
A trip to Park City is a trip to adventure. Or not, if that’s how you roll. Like most mountain towns in the west, Park City sprung up as a mining town in the late 1800’s. As you walk along the main streets of town, take a look at the buildings because many have a…
A President Slept Here
We just returned from a fun ski trip to Idaho. Specifically ski resort named Tamarack. Officially it’s located in Donnelly, about 95 miles north of Boise. We’ve been to Tamarack a few times before, all in the summer. It’s a fun place to hike, ride your mountain bike and zip-line. We’ve skied in nearby McCall…
Chatting with FMCA
Good morning and Happy Monday! I recently had the pleasure of talking with the FMCA President, Jon Walker. We talked about our mutual sense of adventure, water skiing and love of travel. This morning he shared it on the FMCA Instagram account! OMG! So exciting! Meet “The X-Games”
Stunning Sedona
There is something magical about this place and I’m not talking about the whole vortex thing. I’m talking about the raw beauty of Sedona. No matter what way you drive in, there is beauty and majesty at every turn. Our first trip was in October, 1998. Our school district runs a modified calendar and there…
