Our RV tank sensors have been a real source of frustration. Even if you diligently flush and treat your holding tanks, they can be problematic. Spending a lot of time at full-hookup parks helped us ignore the issue for a while. However, once we were boondocking more we knew we needed a solution. An easy…
We were really lucky. Things could have been much worse. A break down like this could have left us stranded on the side of the road. On top of that, we are counting our blessings because this is only our second major rv repair in our 3+ years of full-time RVing. At least this time…
Tuzigoot National Monument is an ancient dwelling in the Verde Valley of Arizona. Originally, it was a 2 to 3 story pueblo with 110 rooms. Like nearby Montezuma Castle, it was abandoned some time around 1450 A.D. About 500 years later the site was owned by a mining company. When it was discovered that this…
Montezuma Castle National Monument lies right off of I-17, about 35 minutes south of Sedona. Technically, Montezuma Well is part of the same National Monument, but about 20 minutes northeast of the main section. Most people start at the castle and many do not even make it over to the well area. It is no…
Chiricahua National Monument had been our list for a while. It’s pretty remote. However, since it’s also in the southeast corner of Arizona, it makes for a perfect winter destination. The 8 mile drive up the scenic road is the perfect lead in to some pretty epic hiking. The reason why it is referred to…
If you ever find yourself traveling Interstate 40 in eastern Arizona, Petrified Forest National Park is a place you should not skip! It’s easy enough to make a brief stop in the north end of the park. There is a visitor center and some amazing overlooks for the Painted Desert. However, if that’s all you…
Most of our travels have been planned out in advance. Our visit to Valley of Fire State Park was kind of a spur of the moment decision on our way out of Cathedral Gorge. Since we already had a place to go if this didn’t work out, we figured why not go see if we…
We knew this place was going to be good and we were excited about it. We arrived in the dark and did not realize the splendor of the area we had parked in until the next morning. The next morning when we opened our blinds we couldn’t help but stare at the cliffs around us….
It is a little hard to believe that it has been a full 6 months since we completed our 2625 watt RV solar power system installation! Now that we have had some time to make use of it, I would like to share how it has been working out. Click the video link below for…
Near the eastern edge of Death Valley and about 120 miles from Las Vegas lies the ghost town of Rhyolite. It was a mining town that boomed very briefly in the early 1900’s. Unfortunately, the valuable gold ore in the area was quickly exhausted. Afterwards, production dropped and the town dried up almost as fast…
