The lovely hamlet of Meeting Creek sits in a valley along a creek where two tribes of native Americans (Cree and Blackfoot) would meet, in no man’s land, a kind of Switzerland (neutral territory) for the time. Many years later, as the railway began it’s train lines in that area

Tolman East Campground – Tolman, Alberta
It was hot, I mean really hot. Yes, Alberta has hot summers but this was worse because it was high humidity which is abnormal for this dry area. The humidity and heat were off the scale as we made our way into the Canadian Badlands and over to Tolman, Alberta.

We love this park. It is a bit out of way for our journey but well worth it. The drive to the park is stunning with gorgeous mountain views all the way to Waterton Lakes. Since August long weekend in Canada is coming up (first weekend in August) it means

Another beautiful day for a motorcycle ride. Can you say “School’s Out for Summer.”? Today is the last day of school for many kids in this area so we thought we should take advantage of peace and quiet before the roar of summer! We decided to head out to Post

Don’t you ever just want to stop for the night but can’t find a place to park a big rig? After driving all day in the pouring rain and wind we were ready to stop. Temperatures were dropping and the rain was soon to become sleet and ice. Welcome to

The site was very narrow and a bit short but we managed.

We really like Mojave National Preserve. There are two campgrounds, Hole-In-The-Wall and Mid Hills. Hole-In-The-Wall can easily fit big rigs but Mid Hills tends to be more for tenters. A small RV or camper can easily fit there though. And we found some “OH SO GREAT” boondocking spots but know

While staying at River Island State Park along the Colorado River in Parker, Arizona we decided to check out a few of the other state parks in the area. Welcome to Cattail Cove State Park. This is a nice, small state park which sits along Hwy 95 between Parker and

We were a bit amazed at the sheer volume of RVs in the area along the Colorado River both on the Arizona side and on the California side of the river. The towns, such as Parker and Lake Havasu City are on the Arizona side and there are only a
