Vancouver Island, A perfect place to end a perfect visit

Getting Ready to Roll the Red Roads
May is here and it is time to hit those Red Roads again. The wild west calls. Our winter respite has been a mixed bag. Florida had a wonderful winter, weather-wise. The best we’ve had for a while. We’ve enjoyed

What is the Petrified Forest scared of?
The Petrified Forest National Park also encompasses parts of the painted desert. While the Painted Desert awes you with sweeping vistas of vibrantly colored landscapes the petrified forest offers remnants of a time long past. The petrified forest is

Ending it all in Ensenada
Today we arrived in Ensenada. We bypassed it on our way south, but now we will spend our last three days here. We got to the RV resort and were pleasantly surprised. It is a lovely resort with a restaurant,

If it is Monday it must be Mulegé
It’s a short 85 miles from Loreto to Mulegé today. It’s a winding road through the peninsula and back to the Bay of Conception. The road hugs the shore. The beach camps are beautiful: El Requeson, Hotel and Playa Buenaventura,

Whale Watching in Guerrero Negro
Hubby prepared for today’s anticipated white-knuckle driving with half a Zanex. We left the boulders of Catavina, entered a small mountain pass and headed across a high mesa that is a remnant of a dry lakebed. The roads are 9.5

Joining a Caravan in Chula Vista California
Today we finally reached our interim destination, Chula Vista, California. It’s right on the Mexican border and is the gathering point for our caravan south down the Mexican Baja to Cabo San Lucas. No more snow or ice, just warm

Chute Montmorency: Size Does Matter
When we travel in the RV it’s always a decision in terms of what we stop to see. We will scour the tour books and internet sites to find out what there is to see in an area and go

Shabby or Classy? Campground Choices
Picking a campground is pretty straightforward. Traveling the Red Roads in our RV has landed us in hundreds of campgrounds. I can say with complete confidence that not all of them are created equally. Some campgrounds are spacious, well maintained

Getting Gettysburg
Here’s an insight into Hubby’s priorities when it comes to scheduling our stops. We had a nice pastoral campsite in Northern Virginia, relaxing and enjoying the historical sights and visits with family and friends. We were planning on moving to

Oh Well, Roll with the Punches
Hubby was born a fisherman. No one in his family fished, but from his earliest days it’s all he ever wanted to do. Maybe it’s that Manzanita Indian blood that courses through his veins, maybe it’s genetic. Who knows why

R and R in Iron River, Wisconsin
I know what you’re thinking. “They travel all over in an RV. Why do they need R and R?” (Rest and Recuperation for you non military types.) “Their life is R and R.” I’ll explain. We had just spent a

Where to Next? Planning a trip
Planning our RV trips is not rocket science. Our starting approach varies but it usually entails the use of a map. Sometimes it is a specific event we want to attend, like when we went to the Memphis in May

Living the Viva Loca in an RV
So you think living in a motorhome, wandering the backroads sounds adventuresome. Dreams of places to visit dance in your head. You drive down the road and see that RV pass you by and you itch to get out there

On Being an RV Newbie
Positive reinforcement. Give someone a reward in response to doing something and they will do it again. They will salivate just thinking about it. (Pavlov’s dogs come to mind.) That’s how we feel about taking off in our motorhome. Seven

Interstate Insanity
We left Dale Hollow Reservoir early on Sunday morning. We are on a mission: get to upstate New York early in the week. Friday begins the Memorial Day holiday weekend and there is one thing we know from living on

A House Divided
It’s 150 years since the civil war tore this country, and in some cases, whole families apart. Not something that is in the forefront of my mind on a normal day, but we have stopped in Chattanooga and Chattanooga is

Cherokee, NC: Gambling, Pow Wows and Pick ups
We’ve had pot luck dinners and country music in Flagstaff, Arizona. We’ve enjoyed Canadian bag pipers and a parade lead by a goat in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But our most memorable 4th of July was in Cherokee, North
