Moab sits in the middle of nature’s playground in Southeastern Utah. There are two national parks and one state park within miles of the center of town. There are several campgrounds to choose from in all price ranges and on our last trip, we chose Portal RV Resort. Portal bills itself as Moab’s RV &…

Our favorite places to stay.
Tiger Run RV Resort
After hearing people rave about Tiger Run RV Resort for what seemed like decades, we decided it would be our home base for our time in Breckenridge. We were not disappointed. Not at all. Tiger Run is one of those ownership campgrounds, kind of like an organized VRBO for campsites. We’ve stayed at a similar…
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…
Blogging for FMCA
It’s an exciting day! Last week the wonderful folks at FMCA asked me to be part of a team of guest bloggers as they build the lifestyle portion of their brand. To say I was excited was an understatement. I couldn’t stop smiling all week! Today was the first of I hope many blog posts…
The Camper That Started It All
When I say Mark grew up camping, I really mean it. He has camped his entire life. It was a white 1964 Corvair Van. A camping van complete with a little refrigerator, sink and stove. They later added a little pop up for the top that added another sleeping spot. Then came a little awning…
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…
Summer in Telluride
Our first visit to Telluride was in the summer of 2001. We were working our way home from a trip to Yellowstone and stopped at the KOA in Ouray on the other side of the mountain. The campground had Jeeps for rent complete with trail maps and the camp host said a trip over the…
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…
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…
