Thousand Trails came thru for me! I was able to book seven nights at the Verde Valley park in Cottonwood Arizona. This is a great location, very much central Arizona, only an hour south of Flagstaff and just 30 minutes from Sedona. Best of all its only 1.5 hours to the South Rim of theContinue reading “Central Arizona”

City of Rocks and Silver City, NM
Arriving at City of Rocks state park I have to say it really makes a statement. Located in the Chihuahuan desert region of southwestern New Mexico at an elevation of 5,200 feet. The “city” is a geologic formation made up of large, sculptured rock columns, or pinnacles, rising as high as 40 feet and separatedContinue reading “City of Rocks and Silver City, NM”
White Sands, NM
1/10/22 – I’m heading Alamogordo,NM and Oliver Lee Memorial State Park. I was able to get a non-electric spot for 2 nights at this park just outside of town. This would be dry camping and so I filled my fresh water tank before breaking camp and hitting the road for the 150 mile drive. AnContinue reading “White Sands, NM”
Roswell, NM
1/5/22 – Hitting the road early I made good time and arrived way too early for my check in at Bottomless Lakes State Park just outside of Roswell, NM. Unlike most of the other parks I had stayed in that allow check in between 11am and 1pm, NM parks don’t allow check in until 4pm,Continue reading “Roswell, NM”
NOLA for XMas!
12/21 – I was excited for my first visit to New Orleans so I was up early and on the road for the 4.5 hour drive to New Orleans. I had chosen to just grind it out on the I-10 Interstate since the weather was still not great and I had seen enough stop signsContinue reading “NOLA for XMas!”
Florida Panhandle
10-7-21: Today I moved to Falling Waters State Park, located in the Florida panhandle a little over an hour Northeast of Panama City Florida, its a smaller campground and is highly reviewed for being quiet and well maintained. I selected this area to be close to the Gulf coast. I snagged a great pull thruContinue reading “Florida Panhandle”
Glacier National Park, Montana
07-22-21: In order to get close to Glacier I had booked a night with a Harvest Host location in Polson, MT which is about an hour from the west entrance. When I arrived they let me know they had a spot in their campground with electricity and well water to fill up my dry tanks.Continue reading “Glacier National Park, Montana”
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
07-15-21: Up early I was hoping to beat the crowds and arrived at the Eastern entrance by 7:30am. It is hard to overstate just how big Yellowstone is, at nearly 3400 square miles or 2.2 million acres it is larger than the states of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. Not exactly a day trip! MyContinue reading “Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming”
Bryce Canyon, Utah
6-28-21: Reluctantly leaving Cedar Breaks, it was a short drive to the RV park outside of Bryce Canyon. Having been unable to secure a spot in the actual park campground I had made reservations at a private RV park about 20 miles outside the Park. Upon arriving I was told by the nice office folksContinue reading “Bryce Canyon, Utah”
Reunions and good friends
Starting my “Epic Road Trip” on Memorial day weekend was perhaps not my brightest idea… Leaving Northern California after a visit with family I realized the error in my ways as soon as the I-5 traffic reared its ugly head near Sacramento. The planned 4 hour drive was more like 6.5 when all was saidContinue reading “Reunions and good friends”
