September 10th marks a big day in our house. We were two crazy kids that decided to get married at 22. Everyone thought we were nuts to tackle this at such a young age. We were both still in college after all. We didn’t care, we happily ran down the aisle and have been running…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
McCall RV Resort
If you’re traveling in Idaho, you need to plan on some time in the fun little town of McCall. McCall is a quaint lakeside town on the banks of Payette Lake located 100 miles north of Boise. It’s a scenic drive up Route 55 that borders the Payette River. Mining led to the boom of…
Exploring Catwalks in NM
No kids with us in Greer doesn’t mean we sit on the porch all day. No sir. We were going to get a little hike in, even if we had to drive to another state to do it. Cathie found what she thought could be a fun little hike and adventure on Pinterest. Her husband…
Cousin Eddie Camping
Arizona is not all desert and cactus. The high country, as it’s called, is full of cute little mountain towns with tall pine trees. One of our favorite cute little towns is Greer. Fun fact alert: at 8,356 feet of elevation, Greer is the highest elevation town in the state and fifth highest in the…
Lost in Jasper
We had big plans for our second and last day in South Fork. We stopped to buy t-shirts across the street from the campground and Mark chatted up an employee. She said the ride to Platoro was fun and a good place for lunch. After dinner the lackluster map was spread out on the table…
RZR Adventures in South Fork
The next stop on our week-long RZR trip was the teeny tiny town of South Fork, Colorado. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. There isn’t even a traffic signal in town. Our home base was Peacock Meadows RV Park on the edge of town. We wanted to try the trails around South Fork after…
Gulches, Lakes and Mines
Our last day in Silverton came way too soon for my liking. We were having a great time and there was so much more to explore, I didn’t want to leave. As we were getting things together for the day, Ray our fabulous camp host stopped by to find out where we were headed so…
Stony Pass, Kite Lake and Rio Grande
Our second full day exploring the trails from Silverton was going to be epic. While reading up on the area, we discovered that we could get to the headwaters of the Rio Grande River. That would be so cool to see. Now, in my head, the headwaters to a river are more like a spring…
Colorado’s Famous Alpine Loop
Our Colorado RZR Adventure was about to begin! Sitting around the fire the night before, our fabulous camp host Ray stopped to ask where we were going the next day. Mark grabbed our guide book and they went over the route. Our plan was to take the famous Alpine Loop over to Lake City for lunch…
Climbing Kendall Mountain
Of course we started our Silverton adventure soon after arriving. After we got settled in and everyone was ready, Mark looked in our ATV Trails Guide Book for a nearby trail that wouldn’t take too long. In addition to the guide book, we also use the Polaris Ride Command App. Many times it will have…
