I have never been on a “vacation” for more than 17 days in a row…that was my honeymoon in 1977. Whoops…kinda gave that one away… This trip was about 21 days of which we covered Joshua Tree, the Mojave Desert, Red Rock Canyon, Owens Valley, Lone Pine, Lee Vinning, Mono Lake, June Lake Loop, Carson City, Nevada, Gold Run/Dutch Flats in the Sierras, Davis, CA, Pinnacles, Pismo Beach, San Clemente Beach, and back home to San Diego. All this in the confines of a 28 foot RV with my hubby. Some thought that we were crazy…and maybe we were, but it takes a certain kind of relationship to put up with each other 24/7. Was it perfect?? On some days, yes…but there are always adjustments as you get to know each other on a very personal level. No time for uncomfortable habits or hygiene issues…everything is pretty exposed. I think overall, we did exceptionally well. We are still married…(ha, ha), we are actually excited about our next journey. Right now we are parked in an RV park for the holidays, with short trips planned here and there to keep things interesting. Right now, I am cooking Chicken Enchilada Soup anticipating rain, which in this town, is well needed. Goodbye for now and stay tuned…there will be more adventures…Promise!

Camping at the base of what looks like petrified sand castles, the kind made when dripping wet sand in a stack. The colors ranged from deep reds and pinks to cream and peach. This place was spectacular!!
I believe in scary weather and threatening skies…I believe in white sand beaches with crystal clear water and the sound of palm prawns blowing in the wind…I believe in deep canyons carved by ancient glaciers that have long since vanished leaving only sculptured river valleys and colorful gorges…I believe that nature has given us gifts that we must preserve and treasure…and I believe that as we travel, we will only take pictures and leave only footprints.
I am learning so much! I am astounded as to the sheer number of people that have been doing this RV thing for years! Thank goodness! All their experience and knowledge has been my salvation. Thank you bloggers for all your great advice and suggestions!
Now I need some help in finding the right type of car that can be flat towed (all four wheels) behind an RV. We are looking for a small, used car that is economical and gets good gas mileage. I know that many of you have Wranglers…very popular…but we don’t want a truck or SUV. Just something we can truck around in after we have set up camp. Any suggestions?
My husband and I are planning to hit the road in an RV full-time. We could use all the advice you care to send our way. I have to say that while we thought this was a daring adventure, I was shocked to see all the people already this (I love google). Actually, I am somewhat relieved and encouraged. So please share your tips, suggestions and experiences and I promise, I will do the same through this blog. Happy Trails!
