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…
It was really cold in New Mexico so we pulled into a campground with hookups. We were skeptical that we'll be able to stay warm in the forecast -14 Celsius even with hookups. We had our portable oil filled radiator (quiet), a small ceramic heater (loud, but effective), an electric blanket (12 volt), propane heater, … Continue reading It Was A Three Dog Night
We just got back from a 9 day trip to the Gaspé Peninsula. It was a whirlwind of a trip as we covered just over 3500 km.
We needed to get away at least once before our trip to Gaspé later this month so we headed north to Sturgeon Bay Provincial Park. It's a bit strange to go to a park that would have been tent-camping territory for decades. Do we really need the campervan for this kind of a trip? Probably … Continue reading Mini Escape to Sturgeon Bay
The following Friday rolls around and we are on our way across the border to New York State. A cousins' reunion near Albany is the perfect excuse to get on the road and squeeze in a mini-adventure. We want to use the campervan as much as we can before taking it on a longer trip … Continue reading Around the Lake
