“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 summer. During most of those […]
First off, a big THANK YOU to everyone, family and friends who have reached out to us, left supporting comments, sent texts and private messages extending warm thoughts and virtual hugs for Steve. We continue to feel the positive vibes from prayers sent our way and we couldn’t ask for more. Just when my stress level was at an all-time high […]
We are back in the good old USA, alive and well and recovering from sipping a few too many margaritas and eating a few too many burritos and tamales in Puerto Peñasco. Crossing back into the states was a non-event, except for an approximately 30-minute wait at the border. Imagine a line of motorhomes as far as the eye can see waiting to cross! […]
With most of Betsy’s maintenance items out of the way, it was time to have some fun. At our happy hour Pam recited a list of trails to enjoy around Tucson, and we were geared up to go hiking with them again. Many of you know John and Pam of Oh the places they go are avid hikers whose boots have passed over hundreds (probably […]
Leaving the high country (including Prescott) behind, we headed south to lower elevations. As we descended a cut in the mountains on I-17 we began seeing the stately Saguaros jutting out of the hillsides, signaling that we were on the fringes of the Sonoran desert and bringing smiles to our faces. We were fortunate to snag a site at Black Canyon Ranch RV Resort […]
From the Sonoran Desert, to the plains of Texas, to the swamps of Louisiana to an island in Alabama! Yeah! We have been longing for white sand, sunny days and a long stretch of pristine beach. One fine place we found all of it was Dauphin Island, Alabama. Following other RVers travels usually gives us great ideas for places to stay […]
We just realized we’ve been hanging around southern Arizona for two months now – how time flies when you’re having fun with friends in such a beautiful place! Being here, you can’t help but take notice and admire the abundance of cacti, succulents, birds and other critters that make the this area unique. The area is generally recognized as the […]
Driving south from the Cave Creek area, we tucked ourselves in north of Tucson, the second-largest city in Arizona. We thought it might get warmer as we headed south – wrong! A cold front brought clouds and rain – even snow at the Santa Catalina mountains where we were parked. For the first time during our travels we were faced […]
It would be a shame if we didn’t share some incredible sunrises and sunsets we’ve been experiencing. These photographs speak for themselves, although they cannot completely capture the moments. Plowing through the hundreds of images was tough, for so many were exquisite – I hope I chose the best. Again, the location was Cave Creek Regional Park (I know this […]
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.
