Day two of our anniversary trip in Montreal was as good as day one! We got an early start, thankfully without an alarm. Our first stop was Parc Olympique where the 1976 Summer Olympics were held. You know the one; when Nadia Comenici scored the first perfect 10 in gymnastics. Driving up, we was struck…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Montreal and St. Joseph Oratory
September 10th marks a big day in our house. We were two crazy kids that decided to get married at 22. Everyone thought we were nuts to tackle this at such a young age. We were both still in college after all. We didn’t care, we happily ran down the aisle and have been running…
Fall Fun in the San Juan Mountains
I’m so excited to tell you about our recent trip to Ouray, Colorado. It’s only one of our favorite places, pretty no matter what time of year but absolutely spectacular in the fall. As I’ve said before, Aspen trees are my favorite tree. It’s like they are waving to you the way their leaves shimmer…
Lincoln Happenings
We’re counting the days until FMCA’s big International Rally in Lincoln! August 24th will be here before you know it. If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time! Click on the link at the end of this post to join in the fun! We are sitting out this rally but for a great reason. Our…
Bar 10 Ranch
Our visit to Bar 10 Ranch is probably Mark’s best adventure find. Who wouldn’t want to sleep in a covered wagon close to the Grand Canyon North Rim? He showed me a few pictures and I was all-in. He read about it on a RZR forum. It didn’t take much research to decide we needed…
Granite Mountain Hotshots Hike
Wildfires in Arizona are an annual thing. Most are started by dry lightning but too many are started by idiots. 2013 was a tough summer with several active fires in June. We were at a friends pool party and could see the smoke plume off in the distance. Driving home it was much worse. Even…
Kayaking the Colorado
Water is our happy place, especially in the hot Arizona summers. Lake Powell is one of our favorite places to cool off in the water. We’ve enjoyed boating on the lake for over 20 years and this was the first time we did anything on the other side of the dam. Let me tell you,…
Motor Home on a Ferry
Today we’re going back to the summer of 2006. Our big trip in 2004 took us to the northeast so this time we went to the great northwest and western Canada. This was the last trip when I wasn’t the shortest person in the house. This was our second trip to Canada, the last trip being…
Summer FMCA Savings
Summer is here! Long days lounging in the sun with cool nights, oh wait. Not in the lower desert of Arizona. We are moving headlong into the hottest part of the year as I count the days until our monsoon storms roll in. June is our hottest month of the year and that’s when we…
Playing in Pagosa Springs
Exploring Pagosa Springs had been on our radar for a while. We’d driven through a few times, each time saying how we needed to come back. Summer is a great time to visit Pagosa Springs and our plan was to hike as much as possible. We both had been on the AllTrails app marking trails. …
