Category: Trips!
The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
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. …
Tucson Rally Wrap
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…
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…
