Travel Plan Reveal, Fun With Friends in Prescott, AZ
Leaving behind the lush Sonoran Desert around Wickenburg was a bit melancholy, but we wanted to move on before the weather really heated up. We were finally on our northward trajectory, after figuring out where we’d spend our summer and fall this year.

The Incredible Sonoran Desert in Bloom – Arizona
“WOW!” was the first word that came out of my mouth as we approached Tucson on I-10 from the east. We were looking at a sea of yellow as the Palo Verde blooms had virtually exploded! This was our “nth” visit here, the unofficial home base where we’d spent several winters and one long hot…

In search of the elusive Elegant Trogon – Chiricahua Mountains, AZ
We are dedicating this post to Bob Gauvreau, a dear friend of ours who passed away recently. We’ve enjoyed many good times with Bob and Dee Dee over the past few years. They prompted us to camp at Rusty’s RV Ranch, one of their favorite campgrounds where we stayed during this unexpected search for the…

Climbing and Crawling at Hueco Tanks State Park – West Texas
Our final stop in Texas was 30 miles northeast of El Paso, at Hueco Tanks State Park. We came here after being intrigued by Eric and Laurel’s repeat visits to the area. We had to see it for ourselves! So, what’s wonderfully unusual and appealing about this 850-acre park?

Natural Beauty Abounds in Cajun Country, Lousiana
After reading my previous post, you might think all we did was sit around being fat and happy the entire week. Well yeah, but it’s not in our nature to let the grass grow under our feet no matter how full our tummies are 🙂 Although the mountains we’ve been yearning for are still hundreds of…

We came to eat! – Cajun Country, Louisiana
…and boy did we ever! But first, since we were camping in the capital city of Louisiana – Baton Rouge – we wanted to tour the state capitol building. Having visited eight so far, we continue to be amazed by what we learn at each one. So how about the history and unique features of…
