All I can say is “Wow” and “It’s about time!” Have you seen the news regarding the Tax Day Tea Parties organized by www.taxdayteaparties.com going on around the country today? We hadn’t heard anything about them until we watched the evening news and I must say, it’s amazing (and refreshing) to see Americans actually being […]

Happy Easter
April 12th, 2009 
Cheryl Just a note from Chuck, Shadow, and me to wish you all a very Happy Easter. Today we’re going to take a ride out to Saguaro National Park (East & West) to check out the cactus and Saguaro blooms. We’ve started to see buds on the Saguaros on base in the past couple of days, […]

Comments OffCamping Life Magazine – another victim of the bad economy?
April 11th, 2009 Cheryl In July 2008 we subscribed to Camping Life magazine. Recently we realized we hadn’t received an issue in a while, so we went online to their website (campinglife.com) to check things out. The site existed and showed excerpts of the latest issue. We bookmarked the site and decided to wait until our next mail delivery […]

April 10th, 2009 Cheryl We spent a lot of time today trying to track down a package of mail we had sent to us via our mail forwarding service (we use Good Sam Club) where you pay a monthly subscription plus actual mailing costs for them to receive your mail and forward it to any destination you request. This […]

April 2nd, 2009 Cheryl We are currently in the Overflow Parking area of Agave Gulch FamCamp at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, AZ. It’s quite a nice area, actually. There are over 100 sites in the overflow, and each one is like an actual RV site, just no hookups. We’ve been told we’re number one on the list for a […]
Hello Arizona!
March 26th, 2009 Cheryl Where are we now? NOT in New Mexico. We have finally left “The Land of Enchantment” (it was a nice 4+ months) and have entered Arizona. We’re staying at the Fort Willcox RV Park (a Passport America park) in Willcox, AZ. The park is average for the desert southwest – a small site on gravel […]
City of Rocks, NM
March 23rd, 2009 Cheryl We are currently camping at City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico. Still in New Mexico?! you say? Yep, that’s right. For some reason, we just can’t seem to get out of this state (well, except for a couple of weeks in extreme West Texas). There were a lot of things we wanted to […]
Leaving Guadalupe Mountains
March 5th, 2009 Cheryl Today we traveled from Guadalupe Mountains National Park near Salt Flats, TX to Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX. As we left Pine Springs Campground we got another beautiful view of El Capitan and Guadalupe Peak (the highest point in Texas). The sun peaked through the clouds to shine directly on Capitan and really made […]
Hiking Devil’s Hall
March 4th, 2009 Cheryl Why is it that just about every tourist or scenic area in this country has to name some feature or trail Devii’s something-or-other? It seems to me we have an odd fascination with anything Devil-related. Maybe it’s because it sounds so treacherous, dangerous, and spooky? This thought struck me as I hiked Devil’s Hall trail […]
Campground Review: Carefree RV Park
Carefree RV Park is located in Apache Junction, AZ. WiFi is available and free, but you will need an access code (given at check-in). It is only good for 2 days at a time, and expires on its own. You will need to get the new code every two days. It’s also quite slow – […]
