It Is Not A Perfect World
Image
During my high school years I loved the TV show "The Twilight Zone." It was strange mix of horror, science-fiction, drama, comedy and superstition. I never imagined I would be living like I was in one of the episodes. I would really love to be able to push the button... Continue reading

Time Flies Quickly......Our New Mexico Visit Is Soon Over
Image
We have had a good time during our stay in Elephant Butte, New Mexico. I have taken dozens of photos of the incredible skies. Not only are the sunrises and sunsets spectacular but the clouds promising rain were definitely photo worthy. The play of the light between the clouds sometimes... Continue reading

Say Yes To The Balloons

Up and out very early in the morning is not usual for us. After years of up and out early for work it didn't take long from me to relish slow, lazy mornings when we are traveling. After seeing how beautiful this sunrise is we need to be up and... Continue reading

From Engle To Lake Valley And Points In Between
Image
There are lots of highways, byways, and backroads for us to explore. One day we drove to Engle, NM so I could see the old schoolhouse. Believe it or not they used to have dances in there. Not often but I remember going. Today Engle is a ghost town with... Continue reading

We are back in Northern New Mexico in very familiar territory and one of the first places I always want to go is Ojo Caliente. It has been known to the American Indians for ages and I am so glad that it is now known to me. This secluded oasis... Continue reading

Heading North Through Familiar Country

Our relaxing month in Camp Verde came to an end and it was time to slowly head north. Traveling through Northern Arizona is very familiar territory to us. We have been here many many times. Being in a familiar place had me thinking about why people keep returning to familiar... Continue reading

Sedona Is Truly Special
Image
No matter how many times we have visited Sedona the brilliant red sandstone formations are always cause for awe. The red is contrasted by the green of the pinions, cypress, and juniper. The scenery makes my heart skip a beat. But there is a sadness to it too. Is there... Continue reading

Watson Lake Amid The Granite Dells

Our visit to Prescott was spent at The Point Of Rocks RV Park. GypsyII was surrounded by green trees and the sites were staggered so we never had anyone directly by us. Across from us were these massive rocks and more trees. On the days that I was absolutely miserable... Continue reading

On To That Great Oasis In The Desert........Las Vegas

After a very pleasant stay in St. George it was on to Las Vegas. The road to Vegas passes through the most rugged looking mountains. Happy I live in this time of motorized vehicles. I don't think I would have enjoyed travel as much on horseback or in a horse... Continue reading

Perched high above St. George is a beautiful desert garden. I don't miss the houses we have lived in but I do miss my gardens. So when there is a garden to go to that is where I want to be. This desert landscape has over 170 different desert plants.... Continue reading

Dazzling Snow Canyon

Our visit to Page, AZ drew to a close. Time to say farewell to the red cliffs and point GypsyII west. Crossing the bridge over the Glen Canyon Dam always reminds me of my Dad. He worked on the building of the Dam while we lived in Kanab when I... Continue reading

Antelope Canyon includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as "Upper Antelope Canyon" or "The Crack"and "Lower Antelope Canyon" or "The Corkscrew. The Navajo...

We have been stationary in the Valley of the Sun for 6 months with 1 month to go before we have the wheels rolling. Good thing we have been very busy because if there was more time for adventures and activities it might have been interrupted by cloudy, rainy skies.... Continue reading
