The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Orangeland RV Park
We found this gem of a campground during our recent trip to California. Orangeland RV Park is located in the City of Orange, across the Santa Ana River from Angel Stadium and the Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks. It’s also only a few miles from Disneyland and California Adventure, making it a great…
O Canada!
Our first trip to Canada in our motor home was part of our three-week cross-country trek. We left Arizona as soon as Jeff’s last baseball playoff game was over and hit the road. To quote the song from Smokey and the Bandit, “We had a long way to go and a short time to get…
Vineyards RV Park
When people tell you Texas Hill Country is pretty, believe them. They are 100% telling the truth. There are a few RV parks to choose from in Fredericksburg. Our choice was The Vineyards of Fredericksburg RV Park because we’d read good things and vineyard RV parks in other wine country areas have been winners. We…
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. Many of…
LBJ and GWB
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…
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…
Touring Tiffin
Red Bay is a small town with a population of about 3,000 which I have to say, is more than I thought. I figured maybe several hundred, not a few thousand. Then, as we drove into town, I wondered how many worked at the factory. It’s a cute little town. We arrived in the late…
Alamo Lake, Take 2
Our last trip to Alamo Lake was an almost entirely new adventure. Yeah, we went to some of the same places but this trip was all about exploring new trails from our lake side campsite. Mark read about The Arizona Peace Trail and wanted to check it out. Turns out, Alamo Lake is almost in…
Alamo Lake
We are always on the lookout for fun places to trail ride, be it in the Jeep or RZR. Mark has a special folder on this computer for campgrounds we’d like to try along with a folder of places we’d like to ride. But but but, I get credit for finding this fun place. I…
