Quick Update...

This morning, we head to the Houston/Galveston, Texas area.  We have reserved a site at an RV Park well-situated just about halfway between these two cities.  So hang in there and check back soon for more posts!

Town of Tombstone, Arizona

Whenever we visit an attraction, I always try to write something positive about the experience.  This will be a first for me because

Sonora Desert Museum - Tucson, Az.

Agave Cactus

This attraction is more than worth the $14 entrance fee.  A short 10 miles or so took us into the

Boondocking on BLM Land...

View just outside Tucson, Az

For three days before heading to Benson, Az., we stayed on BLM land (Bureau of Land Management), approximately 7 miles outside of Tucson.  We had boondocked (dry camping) before, but

Goldfield Ghost Town and Mine

Sedona, A Natural Wonder!

Wow!  There is no better way to describe Sedona, Arizona!  We have traveled to many lovely places over the years but none rival Sedona in beauty.  Of course, we expected to see

Yuma & San Luis

Ninety minutes south of Quartzsite is Yuma, a city inhabited by many winter visitors.  There are some attractions relating mostly to the "3:10 To Yuma" movie, i.e. the prison to which the bounty hunter

Lake Havasu City...A Real Gem!

That is how we would describe Lake Havasu City.  A short, scenic 90-minute drive north

Marc's Idea of Heaven...

Today, we visited a site where old cars are bought, sold and restored. Nothing fancy about this place with its office a battered, old mobile home and

California, Here We Come!

(Southwestern states have these checkpoints, where Border Patrol look into vehicles to ensure drivers are not carrying illegal immigrants, drugs or firearms.  The process is quick and painless.)

While chatting up one of our neighbours at the park, Marc (my social butterfly) learned, much to our surprise, that California is actually only 20 miles away. Trust me when I say that within
