The Sunsets and Saguaros Rally is in the rearview mirror and man, it was a fun one! Like many of you, we were excited and ready for it in March, 2020. It would have been our first seminar presentation. I practiced and practiced for weeks on two different topics, boondocking at a rally and using…
Category: Trips!
The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Pat’s Run
Every April 30,000 people gather in the parking lot near ASU’s Sun Devil Stadium. It’s early, but they still come. There are super fast sprinters, wheelchair racers, teams, families, military platoons and walkers. Many, like us, have the date circled in red on the calendar. They come from near and far but they are all…
Exploring Antelope Canyon
This had been high on our list for a while. It’s one of the coolest things we’ve ever seen. We originally planned on a fall 2020 visit but we all know what happened to mess that up. We chose Ken’s Tours; at the time we were looking to make reservations they were the only ones…

Saving $$ With FMCA
Spring is wonderful in the desert southwest. Our temps are perfect, the sunsets are extra vibrant and you can smell orange blossoms everywhere. It’s also been extra fabulous because this week is FMCA Rally Week. It’s been a great several days making new friends, learning all kinds of new things and even cooking for 550…

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…
Havasu Balloon Fest
The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is world famous, and it should be. It’s the granddaddy of balloon festivals for sure. But you don’t have to wait until October or practically win the lottery getting a reservation. Lake Havasu has a fun option for you and I guarantee you’ll have just as much fun. The Lake Havasu…
Colter Bay Village RV Park
Campsites nestled in tall pines, check. Long pull-through sites in the pines, check. Full hookups, priceless. Our stay at Colter Bay Village RV Park had all the charm and atmosphere of Yellowstone and Yosemite but with full-hook ups luxury. The RV Park is in Grand Teton National Park and is part of Colter Bay Village…
Hiking, Riding and Rowing Jackson Hole
Our first visit was in the summer of 2001. It was the last trip with our first Class C motorhome, we joke that it evicted us. The last straw was the awning unfurling while we were driving through Grand Teton National Park. We made the repair and sold it to Frank, a sweet man that…
