Denison, Tx to Tulsa, OK to Lawrence, KS

After leaving Denison Texas on Monday, Aril 25, 2022 we had three back-to-back travel days. These are tough days as we spend 5-6 hours in the truck. We stop to stretch and take a bathroom break, but other than that we stay on the road. While driving to Tulsa, we realized we were on a […]

Amarillo To Denison, Texas

We left Amarillo at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 21 as it was going to be a long drive to Denison. We made the 356-mile drive in about 6 hours, after stopping at a truck stop to stretch and have a bathroom break. Our reservations are at the Eisenhower State Park in Denison, which is […]

Albuquerque to Amarillo

As exciting as our trip to Albuquerque was, our trip to Amarillo was uneventful! We stopped overnight in Amarillo on April 20, 2022, one thing we found was that Texas has a unique (for us) way for giving addresses. The RV Park we stayed at was off I-40 on a frontage road, and although the […]

Lake Havasu to show low, az to Albuquerque, NM

After spending the night in Lake Havasu, we began the trip on Interstate 40 to the town of Show Low, which is in Northern Arizona. The story goes that the town was named back in the 1870s and as they were attempting to name the town, one person said, “If you can show low, you […]

Palm desert

On Thursday, March 17 we left for a short trip with the Breezy Elks to Palm Desert. It was a short, uneventful drive and we arrived at the Joshua Tree/Palm Desert KOA shortly before 1:00. While checking in we met some new Breezy members as well as some old friends. The site was nice, but […]

Joshua tree lake

We left home on Thursday, February 24th and headed to Joshua Tree Lake. The weather was not ideal, cold and windy on Wednesday and still quite chilly on Thursday when we arrived. The high temperature that day was 50 degrees and it dipped down into the 30s at night. When we were in the sun […]

Tucalota springs

We left again on January 19, 2022, for Tucalota Springs, which is the hills about halfway between Hemet and Temecula. We went with the Breezy Elks camping group and for the first time since we joined, we were the Wagon Masters. Apparently, the word got out to our fellow Breezy’s and only 3 other rigs […]

The Good And The Bad – Anzo Borrego

Although we have been out a number of times since Distant Drums in September 2020, actually an entire year of trips, I am just returning to memorializing them. A short recap, in 2021 we went to Borrego Springs, camped at Camp Pendelton Marine Base with friends Randy and Judy, and went out a number of […]

Distant Drums at Camp Verde, Arizona

This trip was by far the longest we have taken in the trailer.. and I didn’t want to come home! We left on Friday, September 18, 2020 and returned Saturday September 26. We left about 11:00 a.m. on the 18th and headed to Quartzite, Arizona for the night. It was a balmy 112 when we […]
