After getting everyone to the airport to head back to Florida, we went to Estes Park which is just outside the gate to Rocky Mountain National Park. I just love this town. Unfortunately, on this trip we didn’t get any pictures of the town. The first time we were there was October 2006, and we […]

We travelled on toward the quaint little town of Gunnison, CO which meant we had to travel via Monarch Pass over the Continental Divide which is at an altitude of 11312 feet. In a gas motor home towing a vehicle, it’s a little slow going, but we made it. While there we took a ride through […]

With RV life plans can change quickly. While at Yuma, we thought why not change our plans. So off we went to Bullhead City AZ. As we drove through different parts of Arizona, we saw signs warning of washes. Jeff had experienced these years ago when he visited his grandfather in Tucson. I couldn’t even imagine […]

We went to Yuma where Jeff was able to meet up with a high school buddy and catch up with new stories and reminisce with the old stories. While there isn’t much to do in Yuma, we were able to enjoy an airshow from the nearby Marine Air base which flew over our RV park, […]

We drove out to the Apache Trail (this was a stagecoach trail that ran through the Superstition Mountains) and stopped along the way in Tortilla Flats (the last surviving stagecoach stop along […]
