Ever Wonder

By
How those huge pine trees grow on the steep cliff walls?  I know I have, but we found out in Glenwood Canyon:


As you can clearly see from this hidden camera photo, the mountain regurgitates the trees onto the cliff walls.

Inquiring minds want to know...

Pacific Dunes - Oceano

By
This RV park is at the end of a road in the middle of farm land. The RV park itself isn't much to look at, but just a few feet away is the entrance to the Dunes.  Rusty and I took our chairs out last night to watch the sunset: Whisky thought it was the coolest place ever! We had to hike for quite a ways in order to get a view of the ocean but we found the tallest dune and headed up to the top. Our cute little folding chairs were hilarious as once you sat down in them, they sank up to the seat in the sand. After hanging out for a while we thought, let's see if we can get all the way to the ocean and off we took off again. There was some growth (beautiful yellow flowers and some type of scrub) and after hiking for about a half mile we popped out on the beach. It's the beach you can camp on and ride ATV's and dune buggies and where did we pop out?  At the friggin' trash pile. We hiked a bit north and set up our chairs. Then the attack of the huge kille...

Midnight at the Oasis

send your camel to bed ... Miss us? We kind of disappeared once we hit Pecan Valley, didn't we? We left Pecan Valley and headed for Fort Stockton, Texas. It was a nice RV park but the best part was the weather. It was so cool we were so happy and relaxed. We were just there for an evening though before we headed out for the El Paso KOA. The campground wasn't actually in El Paso, it was outside of the city in Anthony, Texas just on the New Mexican border located behind a Camping World. The campground was just an asphalt parking lot with full hookups. We ended up staying there for two days because it was nice and cool and the place we were to go next we started reading some reviews about it online and it sounded kind of creepy. Instead we opted to spend a long day driving all the way to Tucson, Arizona. Our drive has been pretty uneventful, except I kind of freaked out seeing these signs along the I10 in New Mexico: Luckily there were no dust storms and we now know what ...

The Five Words You've All Been Wondering if I'll Say

By
It happened the morning we were getting ready to leave Glenwood Canyon.  It had been an emotional week. We were doing all the things we did with my dad. Even Rusty got misty eyed at one of my dad's favorite restaurants. But the thing that I stupidly didn't realize was that we were there on my dad's birthday. He would have been 85. That hit me pretty hard but I guess I didn't realize it until we were getting ready to leave. Don't get me wrong, I love Glenwood Canyon. It's one of the most amazing places and it's no surprise why my dad loved living there. Between all the emotions and the fact that I woke up the morning we were leaving to a tweaked back, I think it was just too much. Rusty had gotten up to prep the sewer and, water and electrical outside and I was working on prepping the inside. Making the bed is a contortionist's nightmare without a tweaked back to say the least but I got it made. Then I start to notice blood on the floor. I figure the dog...
