Our next destination was Lake Havasu. The promise of warmer weather and a new place to explore had us heading north. If you've been following our travels for a while, you know that we can't resist visiting a good dam. Or a bad one such as the one in this post. But enough distractions, we … Continue reading Parker Dam And The Cutest American War
We stopped at the Quartzsite BLM for a couple of nights to check out the gem sale that takes place every winter and do some hiking in the area. First, the sale. We walked down the many dusty aisles and bought some craft supplies. To our delight we found a rock tumbler, that due to … Continue reading Quartzsite
As we wait in cold Ontario during a second lockdown, we can't help but reminisce. We enjoy our travels through Ontario, but we miss the desert. We miss long-haul campervan travel, and we miss Emma. This photo was taken 2 years ago in Quartzsite, Arizona where we had all three and no idea what the … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] Nostalgia
When will our troubles end? We left our last post after we successfully fixed our frozen pipe and clogged drain at home. after everything was fixed and we were able to get some much needed rest, we started emptying the van and preparing for winter storage again as there is aplenty of winter left. We … Continue reading Winter Travel- Will We Do It Again?
We left the Lost Alaskan RV Park in Alpine and started heading north east. There is still a lot of Texas to go through and we drove through Fort Stockton to the Odessa Meteor Crater, an anticlimactic crater if we ever saw one. The crater is of one of several impact sites in the area … Continue reading Run For The Border ❤️ If Anything Can Go Wrong, It Will!
Texas was just down the road from our last campsite. We decided to head south before finally heading north towards home. The weather in the mid and northern states was much colder than usual and Texas was our last hope of getting bit of warmth and sunshine. We drove though El Paso and just stopped for … Continue reading Desert Hopping – Sonora to Chihuahua
If you don't don't like donkeys, cacti, or rocks, don't even bother clicking on this link or reading on! We started a slow retreat east, and at one point we will sadly have to start heading north. in the meantime, we were able to boondock in a few areas that we would really like to … Continue reading Burros, Cacti, and Rocks (The Desert Is Boring They Say…)
We didn't think we'll like Quartzsite, and weren't too sure about the RTR either. It sounded crowded and busy and sure to come with lots of noise and traffic havoc. It wasn't. Quartzsite is just a really interesting cultural phenomena. Not sure if it's where old hippies go to die, or young one come to … Continue reading Quartzsite And Rubber Tramp Rendezvous Reflections
First off, an Emma update. We were very concerned about her condition as she did not seem to improve, so we made an appointment with a vet in Blythe, California (the closest vet clinic to us). The animal hospital was very accommodating and the vet saw us within an hour of our call. She felt … Continue reading Sonora Sunsets Amid Vet Visits
We are back in Yuma. The temperatures are climbing and the weather forecast for the next few days will be sunny and warm. But we have a bit of a situation on our hands. Finally we go boondocking! We headed out to Fortuna Pond, just north of Yuma, to boondock on BLM land. There were … Continue reading Just when the weather was getting better…
