After ending our desert stint for early 2022, we started the long trip back to the midwest. We stopped in Denver for 6 nights – 3 with our friends parked in their driveway, and 3 at Bear Creek Lake Park. We had an absolutely wonderful time staying with our friends! Thanks again to the Gee …
After an epic week in Zion NP, we broke down camp early to head to one of our old stomping grounds: Moab, UT! We set up camp on some BLM land just north of Moab and stayed there for 10 days. This choice of campground ended up being perfect – it was free, and we …
After a beautiful 2 weeks in Prescott, we headed up and over to Zion National Park in southwestern Utah. We snagged a full week at the Watchman campground just inside the entrance – the perfect base camp for exploring the park! Some years back, Zion implemented a shuttle system in the main canyon – today …
After a wonderful stay at Gilbert Ray in Tucson, AZ, we headed up the road to White Spar Campground in Prescott, AZ. White Spar is a National Forest campground without hookups set at 5,641 ft. above sea level in the Prescott National Forest. The location is absolutely perfect for us, just a few minutes south …
After our month in Phoenix, we headed back to Tucson for another week at Gilbert Ray. We definitely like Tucson more than Phoenix – the outdoor opportunities are more to our liking. On Monday, I set out for a bike ride while Andrea did a bit of work in the morning. I ended up doing …
After our 2-week stay at Usery, we moved up north a little bit to McDowell Mountain Park. Still in the Phoenix area, it’s just east of Scottsdale, north of the town called Fountain Hills. On our way in, our navigation was trying to take us right through the heart of Fountain Hills – and of …
After an awesome week in Tucson, we headed up the road to Usery Mountain Park in Phoenix. This park is located east of Phoenix, near Mesa/Apache Junction. We stayed at the Buckhorn campground at Usery for 2 weeks, our first 2 week stay. It was awesome, and the stay really flew by. Thinking back now, …
We spent a week camping in Tucson at Gilbert Ray. It’s a county park that is southwest of the city proper, just outside the entrance to the Saguaro National Park – West. Gilbert Ray was a very nice campground, although considering the amount of land they have available it was surprising the sites were as …
So we hit the road on January 26th. It was a brisk 5°F when we set off on our way to Arizona, with our first stop just outside Tulsa. We decided to take it nice and easy on our way down, and we were glad we did. It gave us plenty of time to get …
New year, new us! That’s bit corny, but I suppose it’s true. We’ve made some big changes in our lives, and this post is going to give a summary. Stepping back in time to 2015, we had just moved to Colorado. After a few spectacular months of skiing on the weekends, we decided we wanted …
