On the road again

Back to Grand Canyon. And Mike is following me up to the North Rim for the 3-day holiday weekend. Yipee!

Camper 2 goes home

Not even 2.5 weeks until my season is over at Grand Canyon. How sad, yet glad. So because this year I became a two RV single person family I have to make two trips, 360 miles each way, to get myself to Yarnell, my winter home in central Arizona.

Sunrise in Yarnell
So I’m leaving work early on Monday and driving four hours to Flagstaff for the night where I’ll camp. Then Tuesday I’ll have the other three hours to go. Nice to break it up.

Hopefully I’ll have something to post Monday night after I get into Flag.

Road Trip - Spring Camping in the Desert

I’ve been looking for a slide-in cabover camper to put on my truck for months so I can go camping. Yes, I do live in a 5th-wheel RV, that’s my 27-foot home. I want to go camping. And I’ve mostly outgrown tenting and sleeping on the ground. I like a few creature comforts, like a bed, sink, stove, and toilet. So I’m spoiled, I deserve it.

The truck is ready
Tomorrow I’m driving to Quartzsite about 100 miles southwest to look at a camper that friend Ron found. If it all works out, I plan to take a little road trip, maybe Gila Bend’s Painted Rocks Park, Casa Grande National Monument, camping in the middle of nowhere desert and hunting for pretty rocks and spring blooms.
