Candy corn is quite the controversial candy. It seems you either love it or hate it. Count me in the love it group. I start buying it as soon as I see it then stash it in the back of the pantry. The stores by me are completely out by mid-October and I like to…
NEW Campfire in a Can
Like many of you, we love a good campfire. But, living in the desert southwest can make that a challenge. Sometimes it’s our tinder dry conditions and sometimes real fires are a no-no at the campground. What to do, what to do. We’ve had the Camp Chef brand campfire in a can for a few…
Flying Flags YouTube
Flying your favorite flag high above your RV isn’t just for NASCAR anymore. Flying Flags YouTube 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…
Fall FMCA Savings
We have a new season upon us. Leaves are changing and there is a crisp in the air, just not in our corner of the world. Autumn here means the 100 degree temps are mostly done. It means we’ll be able to turn off the air conditioner and give it a much needed break. It…
Juicy Hamburgers
Growing up, grilled hamburgers were the quintessential BBQ food. Every pool party served them. When our boys were knee-deep in sports, burgers were the team party food. I think just about everyone has at least one summer memory that has a burger somewhere in the mind. We were pretty lazy regarding our patties. The giant…
Ambassador RV Resort

Labor Day

It also marks the unofficial end of summer, a time folks in hot Arizona are welcoming with open arms! Enjoy your day and thank those that are…
A Life Long Camper
When I say Mark grew up camping, I really mean it. He has camped his entire life. It was a white 1964 Corvair Van. A camping van complete with a little refrigerator, sink and stove. They later added a little pop up for the top that added another sleeping spot. Then came a little awning…
Ouray RV Park & Cabins
Ouray, Colorado is one of our favorite places. It’s a magical place. We found it in 2001 on our way home from Yellowstone. We only planned on staying one night but that quickly changed to three. Our first stay was at the Ouray KOA north of town. We rented a Jeep right from the campground…
WE ARE THREE!
