The time had arrived! 1,924 miles later we arrived at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter for the 99th FMCA Rally. We arrived after the parking volunteers had finished for the day and spent the night in the holding area. We deployed the slides, turned on the satellite, grabbed a beer and headed out for…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Take Me To Perry
The drive from our Arizona abode to the Perry fairgrounds was a fast one. I know, I know, many of you take many days, even weeks traveling 1,924 miles. We had to do it in a weekend, a long one but still just a weekend because of a certain word: JOB. Our original plan was…
Desert Bar
There is an enchanted place in the middle of the Arizona desert that draws people of all ages from all parts of our country and Canada. It’s called the Nellie E. Saloon or, Desert Bar for short. Ask any person with a Jeep or UTV or any snowbird about Desert Bar and I bet you…
Lake Havasu Balloon Fest
The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is world famous, and it should be. It’s the granddaddy of balloon festivals for sure. But you don’t have to wait until October or practically win the lottery getting a reservation. Lake Havasu has a fun option for you and I guarantee you’ll have just as much fun. The Lake Havasu…
FMCA Friday Perry Edition

The mayor says Perry is where Georgia comes together. He also states, “Our community currently encompasses 16.4 square miles along Interstate 75…

They take no time at all to make and require minimal ingredients and equipment. They are perfect, perfect I…
Pachenga RV Resort
When we wine taste in Temecula, staying at the Pachenga RV Resort is what we call a “double no brainer.” For us there simply is no other place to stay. The RV resort is located at the Pachenga Indian Casino right off Temecula Parkway, the gateway to many wineries. The campground itself it a short…
Wine Please
The secret it out on the vineyards that make up the Temecula Valley. Years ago, it was a sleepy little collection of a few wineries. Not anymore. There are more now than ever before and they are so much bigger now. It’s hard to picture Ponte when it was just a little barn sized building…
Containing the Frig
All those who hate things falling out of your RV refrigerator, raise your hand. Loading the refrigerator in our Class C for a three-week trip became a game of Tetris while I utilized every inch of precious space in that thing. Then we bought our new to us Phaeton and holy cow, it was like…
