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…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Winter in Telluride
It’s time to ski and Telluride is calling. For us, Telluride is an easy 8-hour drive. How can I say easy and 8-hour in the same sentence? Well, the trip breaks up nicely so it doesn’t really feel like eight hours. We drive up the mountain to Flagstaff where we top off the gas and…
Campfire in Jamaica
Last week I got to join Mark on a work trip to Jamaica. Yes, garage doors can be exotic! Company executives host the top customers from the US and Canada. Of course there is lots of garage door talk but there is also lots of fun and adventure. I often describe it as a cruise…
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…
A President Slept Here
We just returned from a fun ski trip to Idaho. Specifically ski resort named Tamarack. Officially it’s located in Donnelly, about 95 miles north of Boise. We’ve been to Tamarack a few times before, all in the summer. It’s a fun place to hike, ride your mountain bike and zip-line. We’ve skied in nearby McCall…
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…
Take Me To Lake Powell
Lake Powell is one of the prettiest places in the country, hands down. The giant red rocks are sandwiched between the crystal blue waters and bright blue skies. In the summer you can watch the bright white clouds billow and merge together for spectacular summer storms. It is one of our favorite places. Our first…
Rose Bowl Flyover
I could watch this all day. 251D446C-AF5F-41A3-98AB-9E0063B7E32C
Rose Bowl – Trip of a Lifetime
The Rose Parade is the most beautiful parade I’ve ever been to. I was lucky to grow up in Southern California and see it in person many times. As a girl scout I even got to help put flowers on a float. That was fun, although not as much fun for the real volunteers I’m…
