Next stop is Mendocino County. We know that there are many stretches along Hwy 1 that are not ideal for driving a big rig with a tow vehicle, especially Fort Bragg to Leggett, but we really wanted to tour the Mendocino Coast. So we thought we would find a place

Doran Beach Regional Park – Bodega Bay, California
I first watched Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” when I was a young girl and it scared the bejesus out of me!! Every year I would get together with the neighborhood kids and we would watch the movie together, usually in the summertime when it was hot and all the windows

We choose this RV park since our friends live in Morgan Hill and we were stopping by for a visit with them on our way north. It made a perfect stopping point between Pinnacles National Park and Bodega Bay (our next destination) and allowed time for a few evenings of
Continue readingPinnacles National Park – California
Pinnacles National Park is one of the newest national parks in the US as of 2013. Previously it was a national monument since 1908. The park sits along the San Andreas Fault south of the San Francisco Bay Area and has a Mediterranean climate and can be quite comfortable during

We just stayed at the Vines RV Resort sister resort down the street called Wine Country RV Resort. Due to site availability issues (holiday weekend) we moved from Wine Country to Vines for our last few days in the area. The funny part about this is I had researched both

We’re back. Seems like we were just here. Almost 3 months ago we stopped by this beautiful State Park for our first time and fell in love with it. So as we were coming back somewhat near this area we could not resist the chance to spend a few days

Catchy name isn’t it? We decided to head up to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon during the off-season, while risking the potential colder temperatures, in my ever lasting quest to catch a glimpse of a rare, large bird. This winter’s quest was to see the California Condor. One

Heading North out of Phoenix up to Cottonwood provided us some terrific views as we drove into the Verde Valley. Phoenix was fogged in but soon the fog burned off and even the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff were visible and covered with snow. This lovely state park

Another beautiful Maricopa County park nestled up in the foothills above Mesa, Arizona. The campground has 61 sites (both back-ins and pull-outs) offering water and electric hookups with nice spacious gravel picnic areas with picnic table, fire pit, and grill. Most are large and spacious and offer privacy. There are
