Leaving Show Low we were headed to Alamogordo, NM for a few days sightseeing and well it would put us back by the mountains (noticing a trend here yet lol). However, as we were leaving Show Low – about an hour and a half into our drive – the truck signaled that the trailer brakeContinue reading “Unexpected Hotel Stay – Quemado, NM”

Show Low Arizona
Last summer we had reservations to go to Fools Hollow State Park in Show Low, Arizona after leaving Ruidoso, NM. However, due to some brake failures after heading down a mile and a half of 8% grade with the trailer brakes not fully engaging after some repairs that had been done several weeks before –Continue reading “Show Low Arizona”
Grand Canyon
Leaving Vegas we were so ready to get back in to the woods and we were so excited to head towards the Grand Canyon. We had hoped to get there during what we still call our “big trip” back in May 2020 but with Covid closures we passed at that time said we’d get thereContinue reading “Grand Canyon”
Vegas: Shows, Hoover Dam, Fun
When we made reservations to go to Las Vegas we immediately looked for a show to go to and immediately knew we wanted to see Penn & Teller. We booked that show almost as soon after as we booked our campsite there. We decided after seeing the reviews of campgrounds in Vegas to not campContinue reading “Vegas: Shows, Hoover Dam, Fun”

Redwoods in California
One of the perks of where we were staying in Brookings, Oregon was the close proximity to the Redwoods in California. We spent a day and drove into California to see these legendary trees. I don’t think either one of us ever really had them on our “bucket list” because it seemed like a farContinue reading “Redwoods in California”
Scenic Corridor Oregon and Farmer’s Markets
When we got to Brookings-Harbor Oregon we went to a visitor center to see what sights we might want to visit in the area and/or nearby here. As with most places around here there were amazing views as well there and we keep having these moments of “Oh my word…this view is so amazing”. I’veContinue reading “Scenic Corridor Oregon and Farmer’s Markets”
In Search Of Cooler Temps
One of our main focuses that we’ve had in our travels was to escape the heat of Texas and Oklahoma. We finally…FINALLY…got our wish to enjoy cooler temperatures and it’s been absolutely heavenly. We left Memaloose State Park in Northern Central Oregon on a Wednesday had a decent sized travel day to Sutherlin Oregon forContinue reading “In Search Of Cooler Temps”
