Goodbye Utah

Enjoying South West Utah

We have left Arizona behind and made our way North to Utah. First stop was Coral Pink Sands State Park for a few nights. It’s a bizarre landscape of orangey pink dunes surrounded by red rock cliffs. Angie got to roam free and run and run as much as she wanted. She had a blast! … Read more

Off to Arizona

Arizona While heading to Arizona we had a stop over in Albuquerque. The next morning we woke up to around 6 inches of snow! What a shock after spending the previous week sunny with highs in the 80’s. Luckily it was a distant memory by that afternoon. The campground was right on the old Route 66 … Read more

In the high desert of New Mexico

We went north from west Texas and into southern New Mexico and the first stop was Carlsebad Caverns. Man what a deep hole! It’s around a 700 foot decent, but they have built a concrete path down so it’s not too bad. Also they have an elevator to wisk you back up, yay! Unfortunately my … Read more

Beautiful Big Bend

Who Dat? In New Orleans

RV Trip to New Orleans Spent 5 great days in New Orleans the week before official Mardi GRAS. We decided it would be difficult with the dogs to do the full Mardi GRAS thing and the campsites get much more pricey. But the party was still raging on Bourbon St anyway. Took in a few … Read more

Our last gasp of Florida

Before we left Florida we made one more stop at a funky little fishing village called Cedar Key. Everything about it had that retro feel, like you are back in the seventies. The campground we stayed at even had an old trailer out front. Anne and I headed into town and explored the small village … Read more

Florida’s Gulf Coast

Georgia on our mind

We have spent a great couple weeks on the coast of Georgia. It is late November and the weather temps average between 15c and 25c daily, about like summer back home. The whole coastline is formed by barrier islands, usually with a beautiful sandy beach then a island with a mix of live oak and … Read more
