We had hopes to spend Thanksgiving in Oklahoma with family however, due to the accident we were still not sure what was going to happen with our beloved home on wheels. Because we were not at fault the young man’s insurance company agreed to pay for a rental RV so we didn’t lose out onContinue reading “Holidays, Rental RV, We Missed Our Own”

It was a beautiful Tuesday morning when we were leaving Ruidoso Downs New Mexico. We were sad to leave there as the weather was beautiful, even with the rain, and we were enjoying the mountains around us. But we knew we were headed to Arizona with similar temps and elevation and were excited to beContinue reading “Guided Where We Needed To Be”

It seems a lot of our travels recently have started out with this sentence. What started as a 4 day trip to go to a medical appointment and get some meds refilled has turned in to an almost 3 week adventure. About a month ago we were camping in Oklahoma with Michael’s mom and popContinue reading “It Was Just A Four Day Trip”

November 6, 2020 – We had spent several days at Stephen F Austin State park where we had a wonderful time camping, hiking, campfires and enjoying watching the deer at our site. We loved the campground loop and the fact that while it was a large loop you couldn’t see the people across the loopContinue reading “One (Un)Fortunate Friday”

Well, it’s been a long time since we posted but we’ve been a bit busy trying to figure out life stuff. After our last post our RV was in rear-ended on our way back to the house in Austin. Their insurance paid and it was a long 3 months without our little landship. I willContinue reading “Long Time Since We’ve Posted”

During the night on Saturday night in to Sunday morning the winds started picking up and it became very chilly (for those of us that are like lizards apparently). The morning temps were about 37 with a feels like temp of 25. It was definitely a shock to the system after our temperatures in Texas.Continue reading “Chilly Morning”

Saturday morning we rose at our usual (for Colorado) early time and starrted getting things finalized for our trip to Dodge City Kansas. We had a beautiful day for traveling and hated saying goodbye to our lovely Pueblo campsite. That patio truly made the experience that much better for the dogs to have some freedomContinue reading “Dodge City Here We Come”

With the time change the dogs have had a hard time letting us sleep in past 7:30 mountain time. After having spent the first 3 days in Pueblo running all day, dogs waking us up early and the altitude by Thursday we were a bit run down. We spent Thursday and Friday running a fewContinue reading “Altitude Can Be a Hard Thing”

Many campers have that one gadget they can’t do without (or that they would rather not camp without). One of our favorite gadgets is the Ninja Foodi. While camping in Utah earlier this year the temperatures were over 100 degrees. When it’s extremely hot you definitely don’t want to turn on the oven in temperaturesContinue reading “Camping Gadgets”

While we’re in Colorado Michael’s parents are in the same campground as us. They planned a trip up in to the mountains for a day trip on Wednesday. His mom and pop rented an SUV so we could all comfortably ride up to the mountains and enjoy the scenery. We drove about an hour andContinue reading “Cripple Creek”
