We camped with our friends Bruce and Joyce in Castle Valley, which is east of Moab UT, in our two travel trailers. This was socially distant camping – eating outside at separate tables and wearing masks when needed. We decided to have the two trailers antiparallel so that the doors would face each other, and …
We were supposed to go to Japan last April, and we were planning a trip to France that would have happened now, in September. Sorry, no travels. Right now the world won’t allow Americans to enter their countries. Despite all of the advertisements saying that they do “deep-cleaning,” we are apprehensive about airports, airplanes, hotels, and …
In May 2018 we went to a Trailer Rally in Alabama, and I talked about it in this post. Beforehand Susan really did not want to go, but in the end, we met a lot of nice people and had a really good time. So, we decided to go to another Fiberglass Trailer rally, this …
We drove from San Luis Obispo to Snow Canyon State Park, near St George, Utah. I had read really good things about this park online, but WOW, it is really amazing. BTW, the name comes from the Snow family, not the weather. Our first night it rained like crazy. We were very glad we were not …
My sister Michele and her husband Michael organized a family gathering at the beginning of May in California, at the Jalama Beach county park campground. Susan and I brought our Oliver travel trailer, as my sister Margie and her husband brought their Casita trailer, while the rest of the family stayed in cabins. Michael’s family came, his …

They described the rocks here in vivid detail as “a city of tall spires,” “steeple rocks,” and “the silent city.” …
We took a spring trip to Moab the last week in March. There are a series of primitive BLM campgrounds along the Colorado River, near Moab. I say primitive because there are no hookups and no water; they provide a firepit, a picnic table, and pit toilets. They do not take reservations, and are first …
We camped at Zion National Park for three nights the second weekend in October. Zion is extremely popular, and we booked our campsites exactly four months before the trip. (Reservations have a four month window). On our drive to Zion we hit torrential rain, with threats of snow, but by the time we arrived at …
We spent three nights camping in Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, which is just outside of the town of Escalante, UT. This is on Utah Highway 12, a well known Scenic Byway that goes past Bryce Canyon National Park, Kodachrome Basin State Park, Escalante, Boulder, to Torrey, the gateway to Capitol Reef National Park. Escalante is …
Last winter we were planning our camping adventures for the year; you need to plan in advance because the reservations fill up for many state park campgrounds quickly. We like to camp in Southern Utah, but it is too hot there in the summer. So I asked Susan where would you like to camp this …
