From California we crossed southwest into Boulder City, our only stop in Nevada this Fall. Our dear friends John and Pam had put down stakes in a beautiful house here over a year ago. They may have a “real” home now ,but they’re still far from hanging up the RV keys. In fact, we last met up with them in […]
Leaving Flagstaff at 7,000′ elevation, we knew Betsy would get a good workout on the way to our next destination at Jacob Lake. Following US89, we climbed steadily and then continued onto US89A for a drop to 4,000′. Finally, we climbed back up onto Kaibab Plateau and followed the curvy road to Jacob Lake, at 7,921′. Lots of ups and […]
One activity that always gets Steve’s blood flowing is airplane tours. Since he stopped flying several years ago so we could pursue our travels, he has missed it but he always jumps at a chance to watch a pro when we take an air tour. So I knew there would be no argument from him when I commented about how […]
After catching a ride over Moab’s famous red rock fins and being chauffeured on dirt roads by friends, it was our turn to be tour guides for our BFF’s from California. Vic and Pam made a road trip to Moab to hang out with us for a few days, and since we’d explored the area prior to their arrival we were confident we could show them around. Just down the road from Arches […]
We had thought a week at Lake Mead National Recreation Area would be long enough – wrong! Being active in the Nevada heat induced us to take a couple of days off to just lounge around and enjoy the view from our site (Steve’s review of Lake Mead RV Village here). But what is it that wore us out, you might wonder? First […]
As we begin our trek north, our final stop in Arizona was at Buckskin Mountain State Park, scenically located between the Buckskin Mountains and the Colorado River. It’s also situated along the Parker Strip, an 18-mile stretch of land that runs between Parker Dam and Headgate Dam. The stay here was shortened due to our 10-day detour to Mexico, but […]
After an exciting night at a Casino parking lot, we purged our water tank of the mineral water from Tecopa and continued on with Arizona as the next destination. The southwestern states were very much in our minds as we experienced a wet and cold summer in Alaska. Every time it rained there we longed for the dry, sunny and […]
We (Steve and Mona Liza) retired early at the beginning of 2012, sold our house and almost all of our belongings and moved into our RV. We are pursuing our dream of traveling the U.S. and Canada for several years and seeing everything and everyplace we can.
