Lake Elsinore

Shortly after returning from our adventure in Rancho Oso, Tom was talking with Randy Larson and he said they were heading out to Lake Elsinore in July. We met up with Randy and Judy Larson and Mike and Dawna Snow. It was so good to reconnect with them. A few days of fun, wine, and […]

Rancho Oso

So, with the whole COVID-19 lock-down, camping has been a struggle. We were last out in February. Our March, April, and May trips were cancelled. In June we couldn’t take it any longer and booked a trip to Rancho Oso, which is between Lake Catchuma and Solvang. We were here in 2018 and really enjoyed […]

Joshua Tree

I love stars! A night sky with a blanket of stars just calms my soul. Joshua Tree is exactly the spot for this and we spent three nights there this past weekend. The weather was nice, cool in the evenings and NO MOON! Which meant the stargazing was spectacular! Each time I looked up, I […]

Borrego Springs

On January 9th we took off for Borrego Springs. I had a vague idea where it was, however, in my defense, it is truly some place we can’t get to from home! Once we got there I truly understood why it is designated a “dark sky” area. If you are away from the RV park, […]

Chula Vista

We have loved staying at the Chula Vista RV Park in the past. It’s beautiful, you can walk to the beach and they also have a pool. Last March they closed because the area is being developed into a hotel and resort. I’m always so sad seeing places like this close. Well, we were looking […]

Mammoth Lakes

This weekend we went to Mammoth and stayed at an RV campground about 11 miles from downtown Mammoth. McGee campground was for the most part lovely. We booked late and so our campsite wasn’t tucked back in the trees like many of the others and it was tiny, we only had half a picnic table! […]

Lompoc

So my first question to Tom was “where Is Lompoc?” His answer was “By Vandenberg Air Force base”. Not helpful…so for those geographically challenged like me, it’s north of Santa Barbara. We’re camping with the Breezy Elks group, staying at the Elks Lodge. I really didn’t know what to expect, but it was just as […]

Pinezanita (Julian, CA)

After a few months off from camping it was good to head out again. We chose Pinezanita which is up in the mountains in the Cleveland National Forest. We were up in this area in February 2018 on our second trip in the trailer, we really liked the area and decided to come back. We […]

Pismo Beach

So the winter of 2018/2019 is shaping up to be a very wet one, who wouldn’t plan a trip to the beach in Pismo?We are again with the Breezy Elks group and as always having a great time. First, I’m sick I caught a cold earlier this week and it’s just getting progressively worse. The […]

Rancho Jurupa with Peyton

We’re camping with the Breezy Elks and this time we brought Peyton with us. We left Thursday afternoon after her nap at the end of a four day rain storm. It poured rain all day Thursday while we were finishing packing and Tom was hooking up the trailer. By the time we got on the […]
