Over the mountains and thru the woods to Missouri we go…
After spending many hours researching campgrounds and bible camps to do missions work at, I thought I had a pretty good plan. We’d leave the Mesa Verde, Colorado area and spend the winter wandering around New Mexico, western Texas, back to parts of Arizona then north again in the spring to explore Utah and then… Read More Over the mountains and thru the woods to Missouri we go…
Camping with off-road vehicles
Recently a question came across the Facebook page for full-time traveling called Families on the Road. A gentleman wanted to know how campgrounds and state parks react to off road vehicles, ATVs in particular. We have been traveling full-time for over three years and during that period we have hauled our off-road vehicles across the… Read More Camping with off-road vehicles
Wild, Dangerous Beasts are Everywhere!
One of my bigger problems is all of the dangerous animals we encounter in our travels. I have kids of all ages and it seems that most places we go they are like bait. Last year we spent the winter in central and south Florida. I couldn’t believe all of the alligators! They were everywhere. One… Read More Wild, Dangerous Beasts are Everywhere!
Sorting the camper and taking a break
Thank goodness the worst is over. I can’t believe how much stuff we had crammed in 42 feet. Bad news is that we filled our storage trailer. We have had to stuff boxes in my mom’s attic. She has been so great to let us do that. Traveling full time can get exhausting. We have… Read More Sorting the camper and taking a break
Gilbert Ray Campground, Sonoran Desert Museum, Saguaro National Park, and who broke our door?
Driving to Gilbert Ray Campground northwest of Tucson was quite a ride. Read my earlier post about getting lost and then add this story to it! We came in from the north. We took W Avre Valley Rd from I-10. Went west on it and then turned south on Sandario Road. That goes for 10… Read More Gilbert Ray Campground, Sonoran Desert Museum, Saguaro National Park, and who broke our door?
We were very lost, Helen (our GPS) was saying go one way, but I was sure we could go another way….

It takes a good year for it to clear. So, that is my excuse for why I got us on the wrong road leaving Lost Dutchman State Park. I had studied the map quite a bit before we left the campground… Read More We were very lost, Helen (our GPS) was saying go one way, but I was sure we could go another way….
Lost Dutchman State Park, AZ
We had a great time at Lost Dutchman State Park, southeast of Phoenix. It has some nice, private sites but no hook ups. We were very ready for some privacy and family time. Doing volunteer work for 4 months, we needed a break. This was a great place to do it. Although, I learned that… Read More Lost Dutchman State Park, AZ
Renaissance Festival, Phoenix Arizona
We love to dress up when we go to historical places or just for fun. It helps the kids feel a part of history instead of a spectator. So, we loaded up in the van and headed deeper into the desert. The Renaissance Festival south of Phoenix was a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed… Read More Renaissance Festival, Phoenix Arizona
Question about towing with a van and having two vehicles while traveling full time
I am a member of a yahoo group called Families on the Road. I am going to answer questions for them and also post them on our blog. I just found a question about towing a camper with a 15 passenger van. I am not an expert, but I listen to my husband. He researches… Read More Question about towing with a van and having two vehicles while traveling full time
