The next FMCA Rally will be here in Redmond a few weeks. We camped near the fairgrounds in 2017 for a family wedding. All of our activities were wedding related, we squeezed in an afternoon in Bend before we had to head home. Reading up on the fun things to do in and near Redmond,…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Jeeping & Jetting in 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…
Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse is always exciting, but a total solar eclipse is exceptionally exciting. I still remember standing on the playground in 6th grade holding a white piece of paper with a tiny hole poked in it watching my first total eclipse. Mrs. Cloud, Mr. Valderama and Mrs. Wright were close by reminding us not…
LBJ and GWB Homes
We dubbed our trek across Texas The Presidential Drive. We drove east across Texas on a mission. We had two days to get from Arizona to Georgia for the FMCA Rally which meant little time for stopping. But, a wonderful thing happened in the early morning as we left Van Horn, TX. Mark agreed to…
Walking Downtown Fredericksburg
As I’ve said many times, I love me some little downtown areas. I love walking up and down the streets, especially ones with old western boardwalks, and learning the histories of these places. Downtown Fredericksburg, in the heart of Texas Hill Country, ranks near the top of all the downtown places we’ve been. I’m so…
Life Long Camper
When I say Mark grew up camping, I really mean it. He has camped his entire life. It was a white 1964 Corvair Van. A camping van complete with a little refrigerator, sink and stove. They later added a little pop up for the top that added another sleeping spot. Then came a little awning…
Touring Tucson
Tucson is going to be center stage for the next FMCA Rally! But there is so much more to the area than just the fairgrounds. No matter how you like your activities, inside or outside, Southern Arizona has it all. Reid Park Zoo Located 16 miles from the Pima County Fairgrounds, the zoo is home…
Fall into FMCA Savings!
We have a new season upon us. Leaves are changing and there is a crisp in the air, just not in our corner of the world. Autumn here means the 100 degree temps are mostly done. It means we’ll be able to turn off the air conditioner and give it a much needed break. It…
Camp Norman
Boomer! Sooner! There, I got it out of the way. Today we are talking about a no-frills place to stay in Norman that’s a short drive from the beautiful campus of University of Oklahoma. Norman is a college centered town that loves their Sooners. Our son is working on his PhD in Meteorology there and…

National Weather Center tours are back starting Monday, September 11th!! Did you know that all the weather alerts for the contiguous United States start in one place? Yes, and…
