Our last hurrah found us at Ruby’s historic campground just outside Bryce National Park for two nights. The park shuttle picks you up right at the campground and takes you into the park which is perfect. Bryce is a magical place and we loved hiking along the amphitheater and then walking back along the bike…

On the road again….. We took off from Tucson finally, bidding farewell to the Voyager RV Resort and our bocce friends and headed home via Flagstaff and a few last hiking opportunities. Having never been to Flagstaff we were very pleasantly surprised by the vibe of the town and the beautiful scenery. We camped in…

Luckily we’ve had some cooler days, so the temperature for hikes has been…

That is how Will Rogers aptly described Carlsbad Caverns, an immense and jaw-dropping expanse underground which is nothing short of spectacular. We drove a few hours out of our way, (although there’s really no out of our way, because we are doing whatever we want…) to hit this national park. And we are both very…

(and ALPINE…..) In our research before our trip, somewhere we heard about this little West Texas town where the art and food scenes were remarkably BIG TOWN. So of course it went on the trip map and as we started looking at the route, it became clear that it would work as we left Big…
