We arrived in Las Cruces around 4pm, and of course, it was hot! We stayed at the Rio Grand Winery, a Harvest Host location. There was a great jazz band playing when we pulled in. We enjoyed their music for a couple of hours, drank some wine and had a delicious meal from the food…
We arrived at mid-day on a Thursday, 105 degrees, unloaded the trailer and jumped in the pool. Then we got ready for dinner, one of those Asian restaurants, like Benihana’s, where they put on a show and cook in front of you. There were 13 of us, with Leonard’s family and friends in town for…
When we arrived at Sandy Hollow, there was a huge RV in our campsite. The people were nice and told us that their site was double-booked, so they parked in the next closest site and went down to the office to sort it out. In the end, we became friends with them, as they lived…
We stayed at Schneiter’s Bluff Golf Course in West Point, Utah. It was a Harvest Host location. The staff was friendly and our camp site was level. Being a golf course, it was busy from dawn til dusk, but after the sun went down, it was peaceful and quiet. I hit a large bucket of…
We left 9 mile at 6am in the morning fog, headed to Butte, Montana. The fog lifted just after we crossed into Idaho and we enjoyed a peaceful drive, interrupted only by a surprise snow shower as we got close to our destination. We enjoyed driving alongside a train for a period of time and…

After driving through heavy rain all day, it was a pleasure to reach our destination. Champoeg State Park near Portland is a beautiful park that features lots of trails, a river, and a frisbee golf course. In addition to campsites, they also have yurts and cabins available to rent. After we got settled, we went…
We got another early start, about 6:30 am, heading over the Siskiyous Pass while the weather was still favorable. High temps were suppose to be in the 60s and lows above freezing with a slim chance of precip. Snow was in the forecast the next night, so we didn’t want to dally. In fact, our…
We left Palm Springs at dawn, headed for Patterson, CA, just south of Sacramento. About an hour into the drive, a truck driver alerted us to a problem with the landing gear on the trailer, the front wheel under the hitch had come loose from the bumpy roads and dropped down. The wheel was sheared…
After our wonderful stay in Arizona, we headed west on HWY 10 towards Palm Springs. We spent Karen’s birthday at the Palm Springs Joshua Tree RV Park. It featured three hot tubs fed by hot springs, 98, 101 and 104 degrees. The pool was extra warm also. We met some nice neighbors at the campground. …
