I’ve had this post ready to go since March but never posted it. So I’m finally getting around to it. I’m glad we had time to visit Milt and Pat in Redding before I needed to be in Reno for ASC. They love the outdoors, both had careers in the Parks service. They’ve certainly retiredContinue reading “Redding”

Travis AFB
We spent a few nights at Travis AFB, just north of San Francisco in Fairfield. We did our usual routine at military camps – hit the commissary, exchange, gym, etc. There’s usually good WiFi for work. The gym was really nice here, especially compared to the few we’d seen recently. But hey, no complaints whenContinue reading “Travis AFB”
Bay Area to the Berkshires
I’m looking at the weather Friday morning in Monterey, and guess what I see? More rain. And a news article that says the peninsula could become an island! The Salinas River had broken levees and was flooding areas near the two roads that lead onto, and out of, the peninsula. We were supposed to stayContinue reading “Bay Area to the Berkshires”
Monterey
We relaxed our first day in Monterey – did some errands on the bases there and enjoyed having water and electricity. I enjoy the freedom of boondocking, but you need services after a few days. The RV camp is right next to their golf course. Our spot backed up to one of the holes, butContinue reading “Monterey”
California Coast
It was raining the morning we left Point Magu, January 9th. I worked while Ben broke camp. We headed north on 101, not thinking too much about the rain. That’s a normal thing in Connecticut. Of course, we weren’t in Connecticut. And what we didn’t realize was this was an unusual storm with massive amountsContinue reading “California Coast”
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”
