We made it back home, and Kristi us had a long road in recovering from COVID. And in the couple of weeks it took us to get home, take care of Kristi and the kids, and run a business, all of my personal grooming went by the wayside. As a result I got home, lookedContinue reading “Wolf man and Our Southwest RV Itinerary”

Forget Route 66. What about Route 89?
Many people have heard of Route 66 – the famous highway that goes east to west frequented by RVs and those seeking the western states. That route definitely has some cool stuff along the way but what about Route 89? So far, Route 89 has contained not only the most scenic drives, but also someContinue reading “Forget Route 66.

Lake Powell and Glen Canyon
South East Utah wasn’t originally on our list for this trip. Earlier in the trip we met a family who spent some time here and they had some amazing stories and photos. We quickly made some room in our itinerary. Page, Arizona and Glen Canyon This area is most famous for Horseshoe bend and AntelopeContinue reading “Lake Powell and Glen Canyon”
Buckskin Gulch & Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
Another suggestion from new friends we met earlier on this trip was doing this hike to a place called Buckskin Gulch. Basically it is what is called a slot canyon such as the famous Antelope Canyon. However, due to COVID Antelope Canyon is closed. But down the road an hour is this one and itContinue reading “Buckskin Gulch & Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument”
Grand Canyon By Train
The first time Kristi and I went to the Grand Canyon was 12 years plus 1 day ago. We know this because it popped up on Kristi’s Facebook memories. We were in Vegas for our good friends wedding and decided to rent a tiny car and make the 8 hour road trip. We didn’t thinkContinue reading “Grand Canyon By Train”
Arizona Craft Beer Post
As we leave Arizona and reflect on our time there, I’m reminded of the many beverage memories we had there. Arizona had no shortage of microbreweries. However, where we stayed there appeared to be many more wineries. In fact, there is one right next to the campground. You can’t throw a stone without hitting aContinue reading “Arizona Craft Beer Post”
Meteor Crater
Today we went exploring the worlds best preserved meteor crater. Being nerds for science we were very much looking forward to this. It’s definitely worth stopping by to see once. However, we thought there would be more to do. A half day or less is enough time for most people. That said, even though theContinue reading “Meteor Crater”
Downtown Jerome, State Park, Blown Glass & Kaleidoscopes
Jerome is one of the towns we have heard about from several people – from fellow travelers to Kristi’s grandparents in South Florida. We didn’t know what to expect but decided to check it out anyway being that we were staying only 25 minutes away. The town really unique being that it is built onContinue reading “Downtown Jerome, State Park, Blown Glass & Kaleidoscopes”
Off-Roading Sedona and Honanki Ruins
One of our most anticipated activities was today: Off-roading in Sedona. Kristi and I did it when we came out here a few years ago and fell in love with it between my enjoyment of trail riding, her need for speed, and our mutual love for this mountain range. We knew the kids would loveContinue reading “Off-Roading Sedona and Honanki Ruins”
The People of the Campground, Perfume Sales, and Fort Arizona
One cool thing about camping is that you get to meet a lot of really interesting people. In fact, it is actually really easy to make friends not only as kids, but also as adults. Other people on the road or who live in different campgrounds, typically have left their traditional social circles, so loveContinue reading “The People of the Campground, Perfume Sales, and Fort Arizona”
