Since we lived in Las Vegas for seven years, we had taken the opportunity to travel to Zion and Bryce National Parks, but we had not ventured further to complete the Mighty 5. Capitol Reef was recognized as a national park the year I was born, 1971. What makes this park unique is the geologic …
When we left Las Vegas, our first stop was Great Basin National Park in central Nevada. It is not one of the most popular national parks visited, which makes it a gem. We stayed in the little town of Ely which has a rich mining history. It was about an hour drive to the park, but …
After our epic hike at Zion, we headed south to Vegas, baby! Since we lived here for seven years, we have made a great deal of friends, as well as having a niece and her family that live here; therefore, we just had to swing by to say hello. We were able to stay a …
A little over a week ago, Al and I enjoyed our most ambitious hike: Angels Landing in Zion National Park. For several years, I have seen these amazing photos of this hike and heard other people’s stories. Yes, we had ample opportunities to tackle this hike while living in Las Vegas, but it has been …
I have been looking forward to visiting northern Arizona and having the chance to hike either Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon. This is the most photographed slot canyon in the world and the pictures are so mesmerizing and beautiful. The anticipation had me giddy. Then I began to do research about the area and learned …

The Big Guy wasn’t much interested in seeing places like Tombstone, so we pressed onto Tucson where we were able to eventually meet up with old friends during …
After our time at Big Bend, our next stop was northwest Texas and the southeast corner of New Mexico. During our two day stay, we visited two National Parks: Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns. Guadalupe Mountains National Park Nestled in the Guadalupe Mountain range, east of El Paso, is the home of the highest point …
Finally after three months and ten days, we are on the road again. Our first destination was heading to a secluded dip in Texas known as Big Bend National Park. Unfortunately, the trip was not without excitement as we had a tire blowout just south of Ft. Stockton which is a fairly remote area. Mind …
Our “home” has finally been completely repaired as of last week! Class A RV Repair did a very good job and we are more than pleased to have the trailer travel worthy again. The repairs were complete before the holiday weekend, but we opted to sit tight so as not to deal with crowds or …
Part of the reason for my inconsistent posting is because we have not been very active for the last several months after arriving in Texas. I feel I do not have very much to say or share. Our day-to-day lives are not as adventurous as one may believe! We spend a lot of our time …
