Wow! What a week! The 103rd FMCA Rally in Gillette, Wyoming was one to remember. Rallies are an action-packed four days of fun and this one was no exception. But, the fun starts before Wednesday. This rally was a family affair for us. Not only were my fabulous in-laws coming but two of Mark’s cousins were…
Slow Cook Instant Pot Spaghetti
Yeah, yeah. The Instant Pot is a whiz at making really good meals really fast. Did you know it’s also a pretty darn good slow cooker? I knew it could do it and have friends that rave about it, I just never tried. We led an RV cooking seminar at the Perry FMCA Rally in…

Independence Day
Happy Birthday America! Today our wonderful country turns 245! However you celebrate this day, take a moment to think of those amazing people who came together to make this great place called the United States of America.

It was time to find something besides…

Not anymore. We were recently watching golf while lounging in the pool, thank you Covid, when a backyard BBQ commercial…

FMCA Summer of 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…
Flying Flags!
Flying your favorite flag high above your RV isn’t just for NASCAR anymore. We fly our flags when riding in the desert so it’s easier to find camp when we get close. This was really handy when the boys were younger. We’d let them ride around the area close to camp and the rule was…
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…
