I’m speaking of the State Park….Dead Horse Ranch State Park located in Cottonwood, Arizona. Quite a name, isn’t it? How the park got its name – The Ireys family came to Arizona from Minnesota looking to buy a ranch in the late 1940’s. At one of the ranches they discovered…

The gentle sound of rain hitting the RV is some how relaxing. I stare out the window as the rain leaves a random pattern of water droplets on the pane. I can almost sense the cacti smiling, arms stretched, rejoicing in the much-needed moisture. We’ve been camped in the Phoenix area for…

When I decided to start a blog ten months ago, I wasn’t sure who or IF anyone would have interest in reading it. I have never been one to journal, although I have been vigilant in archiving family photos via scrapbooking. These albums are lacking in stories – stories behind the…

It’s three o’clock in the morning and although the RV blinds have been left up, it’s as pitch black as our friend’s Labrador Retriever. I’m feeling a bit disoriented. Am I sleeping on a sailboat in Clearwater Beach, Florida? No, that was many, many years ago. Was it the margarita…

Our drive through Monument Valley this morning was breathtaking. We contemplate our schedule and discuss the feasibility of staying here a night to take in the beauty and explore the backcountry. Ah, that every looming, impending storm keeps us moving on. Plus it’s “after the season” and campgrounds are closed.…

The diverse landscape in the United States never ceases to amaze me. One day I am surrounded by green, fragrant pine trees with rugged, majestic mountains and the next day there are no trees, no distinguishable scent. Yet the air is crisp and fresh. There’s rock, rock in all directions…

Day two’s original destination was to be the Cliff Dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park. The drive is very scenic as we travel through a very pretty part of Colorado and cross the Continental Divide. From the Great Sand Dunes to Mesa Verde should take about four hours. After the…
