TODAY is Disneyland’s 68th Birthday!
I’ve been to several of Disneyland’s birthdays, including the 50th when I arrived at 5:00 AM to celebrate all the magic (that’s a story in and of itself!), then again for the next birthday in 2006 when a hot air balloon flew over the esplanade! Yes, the Mickey Mouse Hot Air Balloon made an appearance…
Lone Pine Alabama Hills – Are the Roads Too Rough for My RV?
The roads in Lone Pine in the Alabama Hills vary from paved or gravel/dirt but flat to VERY bumpy, steep and full of potholes. This was our first boondocking experience and we loved it! Upon arriving and coming up the 395 from the south, we should’ve turned left on Whitney Portal Road (which, by the…
Wawona Meadow Loop Yosemite – “Easy” but there can be CHALLENGES!
The Wawona Meadow Loop in Yosemite is rated as “easy”, but we went in mid April 2023 after some snow melt and found a few challenges such as the trail being completely covered in water in some sections, then a rushing stream about 10-12 feet wide.

Yellowstone-Part 1 – Campgrounds en route: Riverside Adventure Trails Bullhead City AZ, Ruby’s – Bryce Canyon NP, Century RV Park Ogden UT
Whenever planning a road trip, it’s not too difficult to find a place to stay at our ultimate destination (like a National Park), but finding a campground along our route is often “look at a map, close your eyes, and point!” I thought it might be helpful to share a few places we stayed along…
Tapo Canyon Campground and Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, CA
Simi Valley is in Southern California, just north of Los Angeles. The campground is small with just 16 sites, and our group occupied 12 of them. They have full hookups, but no cable, and no cell coverage whatsoever. Well, some said they were able to get a text to go through by standing near the…
Yosemite for Thanksgiving – November 2018
The day before Thanksgiving we headed out at 4:30am, hoping to beat the holiday traffic and the storm that was coming to Yosemite, stopping only for a potty break and Starbucks, then lunch. We arrived at Upper Pines (site 228) around 1:30 PM, the earliest we’ve ever made it! We also beat the storm. As…
