Our home base for our Silverton RZR adventure was Red Mountain Motel & RV Park on the southern edge of town. There are a few RV parks in town but only Red Mountain was able to accommodate our group of five rigs. Silverton recently voted to allow off-road vehicles to be driven in town on…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Portal RV Resort
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 &…
Pikes Peak
Our first Fourteener! By car so it doesn’t count. This excursion was not going to be cut from our trip. When we started planning our trip we planned on taking the cog railway up to the top and were supremely bummed when we found out they company closed due to the age of the railway. …
Kayak Dillon Reservior
Our last day in Breckenridge was a little more tame than the previous days. Tame in the way that we didn’t use the alarm clock to start our day, yeah. We gave our bodies extra time to sleep after our huge hike up Quandary Peak the day before. Our gloriously late sleep in was followed…
Quandary Peak!
As I sit here typing, I can’t believe we hiked a Fourteener last week. By reading about our adventures, you’ve already figured out we are a little extreme in our activities. Our friends call us X-Games and short a few hospital visits, we’ve earned the nickname. Hiking a Fourteener has been a dream of Mark’s…
Jeepin’ & Jettin’ Moab
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…
Cheesy Pesto Bread Appetizers
I just love it when a yummy dish comes together completely by accident. And I love it more when I remember how to make it again! Such is the case with this fabulously easy and delicious appetizer. It was born in Telluride on the last night of our 2017 ski trip. As usual, we brought…
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…
