Point Magu and LA too

The RV camp at NAS Point Magu is right on the beach. We could hear the waves in the trailer – glorious! The area was partly flooded, but our site was dry enough. Our neighbor asked us how the Colorado does with our trailer. He was surprised and seemed a little sad to hear itContinue reading “Point Magu and LA too”

March into Riverside

We headed into March Air Reserve base near San Bernardino and Riverside. It took us a while to find the main gate. It looks like the base has shrunk half its size – we guess as it downsized, land was sold to develop homes. We got to the base and found the RV park whichContinue reading “March into Riverside”

A Joshua Tree in the New Year

I never made it over to Joshua Tree National Park while I lived in San Diego, and it’s been on my bucket travel list for quite a while. I was very excited to finally get there. We stayed a few nights just outside the park on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land in dispersed camping.Continue reading “A Joshua Tree in the New Year”

Christmas in Phoenix

We headed back to Lara’s from White Tank a few days before Christmas. I continued to work through Friday, and Ben continued to work through the to-do list Lara had for us. =) Ben even baked cookies! (His to-do list, not Lara’s) We got to use our bikes again – we took it to anContinue reading “Christmas in Phoenix”

White Tank

We stayed at White Tank Mountain when we returned to Phoenix for a few days before Christmas. We’ve hiked in the park before, and we wanted to check out the camping. The campground is near the top of the main road, so there was little traffic and a great view of the city and theContinue reading “White Tank”

No-Dune Dune Buggy

We chose to ride dune buggies for our excursion outside the resort in Punta Cana. A bus took us about 30 minutes from the resort to a large operation built just for resort tourists like us. Seemed like they ran several groups in the morning and afternoon. We drove on side roads mainly, some paved,Continue reading “No-Dune Dune Buggy”

Wellness in the DR

Ben and I took a break from our RV travels to visit the Dominican Republic with our friends Laurie and Jordan. Lara was kind enough to watch Cody for us. Cody enjoyed having a dog door and the freedom it brings. Here’s my typical shot from the plane. It became very flat near the coastContinue reading “Wellness in the DR”

Ben in New Mexico

I flew out of Albuquerque to go back home for the first of what I hope to be only monthly work trips. It also gives me a chance to check in on the house and visit friends. Ben drove from Albuquerque to Phoenix on his own. He visited a few air museums, which seems toContinue reading “Ben in New Mexico”

Route 66 to Albuquerque

The route between Oklahoma City and Albuquerque lacked the types of places at which we’ve been staying, and like: Harvest Hosts, state parks, military bases. There were a few RV parks, but I used freecampsites.net to find out that some rest areas allow RVs to park overnight. I’d used that site before to locate tentContinue reading “Route 66 to Albuquerque”

Oklahoma City Memorial

We walked down to the Oklahoma City bombing Memorial from Anthem Brewery. It’s a nice memorial. Ben did the museum; I just walked around the grounds. There were several very large ornament decorations around one building. Luckily, they were tied down well, so they didn’t fall on us in the wind. Ben was curious ifContinue reading “Oklahoma City Memorial”
