Arriving in Espana
We spent the last week with family in New York. The weather was not very good but it was a relaxing visit. We focused on finishing up some loose ends for our trip and getting all packed. Our packs weigh about 24 pounds each which will lighten as we travel. We have paper guides for […]
Jersey Time
Wednesday, March 27th to Sunday March 31st. While I am outside getting some things out of the Rav, our son Steven pulls up in an orange Subaru. At first I thought nice color car rental, then I see that Ambers sister is driving and think, what is going on here? Turns out he was on […]
2019 Adventure
It is time. The planning stage is over and the exploring and discovering stage has begun. Where did this years dream start? It was sparked last July while hiking 500 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Two days in Tucson
Friday March23-Saturday March 24, 2018 We sleep in later than the last few days. It is amazing how blocking out the natural daylight changes your sleep patterns. We have a nice breakfast at the hotel. Our goal for today is to go to the RV show at the Tucson Convention Center. We have not been […]
Tucson For Happy Hour
Thursday March 22, 2018 We both slept well last night. No blast furnace from the motor home across the way. Probably had nothing to do with the anonymous note I left on their door. We get up with the sun and I surprise Carol by making the coffee this morning. It is probably 5-10 degrees […]
Hiking the Chiricahuas
Wednesday, March 21, 2018 We slept pretty good except for the few times I woke up because some guys hot water heater across the way sounded like a blast furnace. Carol actually heard it through her earplugs. She got out of the tent at sunup and walked over to the restroom. Then she started making […]
Land of the Apaches
March 20, 2018 We had a nice night’s sleep below Indian Bread Rock. We heard an owl hooting several times last night but it stopped when I put my ear plugs in, or more likely they worked well. Since we went to bed a little after 7 PM, we both woke up with the sunrise […]
