I love sweet potatoes. Yes, I mean love. Not as much as chocolate but close. They are my “chocolate” vegetable. I eat them baked and plain. I don’t even put butter or brown sugar or melted marshmallows on them, just plain. I like them in a casserole, candied like Aunt Loretta does them, mashed and…

Return to Beautiful Bryce Canyon
Bryce Canyon is a place I can got back to over and over again and enjoy it just as much as the first time. Our last trip there was just this summer. We’d spent several days riding the RZR on the Paiute Trail and finished the trip with a few days at Bryce. If you…
Photogenic Bryce Canyon
Think back to the first time you encountered the beauty of our National Parks. Looking down Yosemite Valley, standing next to the waterfall at Niagara Falls, the raw beauty of both rims of the Grand Canyon. The landscape of our great country is so grand and varied. Then there is the completely different beauty of…
McCall 2015
Oh McCall, how I’ve missed you. 2015 was turning out to be a rough one and I looked forward to our week-long trip like a small child looks forward to Christmas morning. Mark’s dad had not been well and passed away in May. I found a lump in my neck in February that turned out…
McCall 2007
Picking up from the last blog… We couldn’t wait to get back to this place and this campground. We were back the very next summer for a week including Independence Day. Mark’s mom and stepdad joined us along with his brother and family and our dear friends Bill & Deb with their younger two kids….

Beautiful Yosemite – Vernal and Nevada Falls
Saving Yosemite as a place all can enjoy dates back to 1864 when Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant. On October 1st, 1890 Yosemite was declared a National Park. It’s because of people like John Muir, Teddy Roosevelt and the many who lovingly tended to the land long before that we get to enjoy this…
Paiute Trail
What a trip! We escaped the summer heat of Phoenix for a wonderful adventure on the Paiute Trail in the Utah mountains. The Paiute Trail is an all-terrain vehicle trail system in Southwest Utah with over 2,000 miles of trails to explore. We stayed five days and easily could have stayed longer. Each day we…
