A New Adventure

We left home on March 14 to meet up with our Breezy Elks friends in Coachella for 3 days before moving on to our trip to Louisiana and through the South to Florida for a week at Disney World. Then up the coast to North Carolina before heading back east toward home! Come join us […]

4th of July and back across the border!

We arrived in Skagway the afternoon of July 3rd. This is our first stop in Alaska, so far we have spent our time in Canada. Even though we are thousands of miles from California, it felt a little like coming home to be back in the USA! Our caravan group had been asked to participate […]

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 […]

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 […]
