I’m standing on the proverbial rooftop shouting the good news of this most awesome item that every RV needs. I’m serious. This mat is all that and more. It all started last November while I was reading the latest Motor home magazine. Tucked away on page 66 in their Tech Savvy section was this must-have…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Return to Beautiful Bryce Canyon
Bryce Canyon is a place I can got back to over and over again and enjoy it just as much as the first time. Our last trip there was just this summer. We’d spent several days riding the RZR on the Paiute Trail and finished the trip with a few days at Bryce. If you…
Foil Packet Chicken
The BBQ is the dinner star when we are camping. Is it just me or does everything taste better when you’re camping? Relaxing in the woods smelling a tri-tip on the grill is something I will never tire of. But we can’t eat tri-tip every night on each and every trip; our doctor would not…
Photogenic Bryce Canyon
Think back to the first time you encountered the beauty of our National Parks. Looking down Yosemite Valley, standing next to the waterfall at Niagara Falls, the raw beauty of both rims of the Grand Canyon. The landscape of our great country is so grand and varied. Then there is the completely different beauty of…
The Magic Rubberband
How many times have you been pleasantly rolling down the road, hit a bump or rough section of highway and hear the dreaded noise of something falling out of a cabinet? Show of hands… Yeah, us too. We have this set of cabinets in the “kitchen.” We store cans, spices and other items in…
Keeping Your Clothes Clean
Let’s face it, life on the road is just as dirty as life at home. Mark used to drive in some sort of white shirt on trips. Notice how I said used to? It became a self-fulfilling prophecy as something always happened where he needed to get under the motor home on a drive if…
McCall 2015
Oh McCall, how I’ve missed you. 2015 was turning out to be a rough one and I looked forward to our week-long trip like a small child looks forward to Christmas morning. Mark’s dad had not been well and passed away in May. I found a lump in my neck in February that turned out…
McCall 2007
Picking up from the last blog… We couldn’t wait to get back to this place and this campground. We were back the very next summer for a week including Independence Day. Mark’s mom and stepdad joined us along with his brother and family and our dear friends Bill & Deb with their younger two kids….
Heaven on Earth: McCall, Idaho
Let me tell you about this little gem of a campground tucked in the beautiful Idaho pines. It is hands down one of my favorite places to visit and definitely my favorite place to camp. McCall is a quaint lakeside town on the banks of Payette Lake located 100 miles north of Boise. It’s a…
Fancy New LED Lights
Not long after we bought our new to us Phaeton, we took a weekend trip just to learn all about this new toy. We chose Tombstone, both because it was a quick drive but it would also give me a chance to learn to drive this thing. I chickened out on driving through Tucson during…
