Sept 27 thru Oct 13, 2022 Wake up and shop at REI for last minute river gear. Check into the Double Tree Inn and connect with our fellow river rats. Park the van in the hotel parking lot. Fingers crossed the peppermint spray and poison will prevent a mouse infestation. KOW.
Sept 26 thru Sept 27, 2022 After good-byes to Bob and Ann we head to Flagstaff checking into Woody Mountain RV Park. Chores include laundry, van wash and peppermint spray – hoping peppermint spray really is the mouse deterrent google reports it to be.
Sept 22 thru Sept 26, 2022 We break camp early but still get to lodge too late for breakfast. Rick’s been hankering for a café breakfast. About 1 hour drive via FS 22 the 222 to Locust pint. We work hard for an adventure campsite right on the rim. Afternoon out and back bike ride…
Sept 20 thru Sept 21, 2022 With an empty Thetford and full water tanks we brave 16 miles on USFS roads to amazing boondocking at Saddle Mtn Trailhead. Van tires down to 50 psi make a world of difference on the rough road. Amazing camp right on the rim with tons of firewood. Rick runs…
Sept 21 thru Sept 22, 2022 Waking up to rain we decide to spend the rain travelling and move a short distance to DeMott CG to take advantage of trash, water and outhouse. Rick emptied the Thetford in an outhouse along the way – but we will fill the water before we leave here. 3…
Sept 18 thru Sept 20, 2022 Head to the North Rim CG with a stop for beer, groceries, tacos and mousetraps in Kanab, UT. Pleasant evening walk from our campsite along the rim to the Bright Angel Overlook on the Transept Trail. The next day we take a short drive to the Widforss TH. Beautiful…
April 8 to April 9, 2022 Late morning departure after eggs and mole breakfast. Drive to Sedona and to a packed trailhead up Dry Creek Road. Almost flee but find parking on the side of the road. Great ride on the West Sedona Loop. Thanks again MTB Project. Technical in spots and hot at 85…
March 26 to March 30, 2022, Rick snagged 4, hard to get, nights at McDowell County Park. Some snowbirder must have cancelled right before Rick checked. Shopping, gas, driving etc takes most of the day so we pull in about 5. Nice campground with big, level sites and very clean bathrooms. The first day my…
March 24 to March 26, 2022 Time to head to the Portal Bunkhouse to meet Ava and Dan. First though we drive up the road looking for service. Finally find it and get thru to Emily. Sounds like the job could be just what Emily is looking for. She and Dan are heading to Calgary…
March 21 to March 24, 2022 We missed out on a spot in either of the official campgrounds so boondocked 5.5 from the Visitor center on FR 42. Nice spot but the pots, pans, utensils and water hanging from a line guarding a tarp covered pile was a bit creepy at first. We pulled in…
