We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Cathedral Gorge State Park, but a cold front was on its way and we were wanting to hunker down someplace a little warmer for the busy Thanksgiving travel week. Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge or Mojave National Preserve were our top choices, but they were going to be colder …
On September 19, 2019, we left our home in Southeastern Washington on our first snowbird trip. Years of living and commuting in Washington’s blizzard prone Palouse region had left us weary of snow and ice. With Jason’s retirement and my transition to part-time remote work, it was time to say goodbye to winter weather. Route …
January 20 – 31, 2020 The last half of January found us beginning to make big changes to our RV travel life. It was a busy two weeks as we bought a new truck, enjoyed a few last activities in Southern Nevada with a friend, and made our way home for the spring and summer. …
January 13 – 19, 2020 We had been in the Lake Mead area for several weeks. Our original plan was to push south into Arizona by mid-January, but we found we had little motivation to do so. We still had local attractions to explore, the weather was perfect, we had the best site at Las …

With abundant sun and perfect hiking temperatures, it was a great week to continue our Lake Mead National Recreation Area …
December 23-29, 2019 In September, as we were starting this journey, I expected that we would be in Arizona by the end of the year. But we also agreed early on that we’d remain flexible on dates and locations and see “where the wind blew us”. I never would have imagined that Christmas Day would …
December 14-22, 2019 Exploring Lake Mead We were excited—one of the highlights of our 2019-2020 snowbird travels was coming up. After three months away from home, we’d be seeing family soon! But first, we took a break from our Valley of Fire adventures to explore the west side of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. We’d …
December 9-13, 2019 My #1 Nevada Bucket List Item Valley of Fire (VOF) State Park has been my number one Nevada bucket list item for as long as I can remember. Just an hour from the bustle and neon lights of the Las Vegas Strip, this 40,000 acre red rock wonderland is a photographer and …
