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…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
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…
Aunt Loretta’s Garlic Bread
Garlic bread is one of those meal accompaniments that you can never have enough of. And garlic bread isn’t just for spaghetti and Italian food. This recipe comes courtesy of Aunt Loretta and she gave it to me when I was a brand new bride. It’s very short and I’ve actually never written it down. …
Pies Pies Pies (and crust)!
Mmmmm, pie. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, chocolate cream pie, lemon meringue pie…I could go on and on. Along with soup, pie is something I could eat year round. And it all starts with the crust. Light and flaky that doesn’t overpower the tasty filling. A nice golden brown crust edge is the perfect frame for…
Thanksgiving Turkey in the Dirt
Yes, you read that correctly. For the last several years we have celebrated Thanksgiving in the California desert. Don’t think we skimp on the feast just because we are dry camping in the middle of nowhere. We go all out. It’s a traditional Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings. The day starts much like it…
