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…
Category: Trips!
The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Goings on in Gillette
It’s almost time for the big FMCA Rally in Gillette, WY! It’s been 20 years since our last trip to Wyoming. We spent a week exploring Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. We hiked, went horseback riding, saw countless bison and bear traffic jams and drove all around Yellowstone in our first Class C. We even had…
A Week in Red Bay
Red Bay is a quiet little town of 3,000 in northwest Alabama close to the Mississippi state line and is home to Tiffin Motorhomes. Any Tiffin owner knows the story of how Bob Tiffin started the company in 1972 and is a veritable rock star in the RV world. Count me in as a fangirl,…
FMCA Rally 2021 Style
We just wrapped up another fun time at the 102nd FMCA Rally in Perry, Georgia. The weather was perfect, the people were friendly and most importantly right now, the safety measures worked smashingly. We were in for a busy week this time. Mark was a golf cart driver covering four shifts and we were presenting…
Perry Rally Days
The time had arrived! 1,924 miles later we arrived at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter for the 99th FMCA Rally. We arrived after the parking volunteers had finished for the day and spent the night in the holding area. We deployed the slides, turned on the satellite, grabbed a beer and headed out for…
Perry Happenings
We’re so excited to be part of the upcoming FMCA Rally in Perry, Georgia! The mayor says Perry is where Georgia comes together. He also states, “Our community currently encompasses 16.4 square miles along Interstate 75 approximately 90 miles south of Atlanta. Perry has been able to capitalize on proximity to Robins Air Force Base,…
Peach Cobbler
Soon we’ll be heading to Perry, Georgia for the upcoming FMCA Rally and we are really excited to be a part of it. You know what else I’m excited about? Peaches. I love peaches and Georgia bills itself as the peach capital. Peach pie, peach cobbler, peach ice cream; I bet there’s even a peach…
Wahweap Campground & RV Park
We are lucky to have beautiful Lake Powell only a five hour drive away. From our first trip in 1998 to our last trip a few months ago, the beauty is as awe-inspiring as ever. Our first three years were spent hotel camping in Page. Paper plates, bowls, silverware and an ice chest made breakfasts…
Walking Downtown Perry
The weather was perfect during the FMCA Rally, with the exception of a quick shower on Friday. Thursday’s sky was bright blue and I was going to enjoy it. I walked through the vendor booths and strolled the RVs in the morning then headed to downtown Perry after lunch. The fairgrounds weren’t far so I…
FMCA Savings!
We’re smack in the middle of winter and I know some of you have tucked your toy away until spring. Here in Arizona, we are lucky that we can use our rig year round. I go through withdrawals when we haven’t gone somewhere over several weeks; I can’t imagine not using it for several months….
