Lake Powell
Our next stop on our journey north and west – Lake Powell, an enormous reservoir filling Glen Canyon behind the Glen Canyon Dam. It’s the centerpiece, although certainly not the only feature, of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. We camped at Antelope Point RV Park for a planned two days. Down the hill from the…

Monument Valley
After leaving the Painted Desert, we began our journey northward. Next stop: Monument Valley, a Navajo Tribal Park on the border of Arizona and Utah. This place is home to some spectacular rock formations, very different from Painted Desert. We stayed with Celia and Steven, a Navajo couple with a home just outside the Tribal…

Santa Fe

Our travels took us to Beaver Lake in the northwest corner of Arkansas,…

Eclipse!
One of the things I love about RV traveling is taking advantage of the unplanned events that pop up along the way. With a small adjustment to our itinerary, we were able to be in the path of totality for the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. And so we set a course for Atkins,…

Snowbirds
Gulf State Park Here we are at Gulf State Park, ready to enjoy the warm breezes and bright sunshine of an Alabama spring. And we did have some lovely spring-like days. We also had a good number of stormy, chilly ones. The red “beach closed” flag was flying more than not. Still, we had plenty…
