A couple years ago we discovered this great campground in Monterey and it is really a GEM! I mostly took videos of this visit and very few photos, so CLICK HERE to see the YouTube video which includes DRONE footage of the campground. One thing about camping in Monterey is 1) There aren’t a lot…

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…
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…
24 Hour Trip to Yosemite & Hite Cove – April 2018
Our original plan was to stay in Monterey for 2 nights (see previous post), but when I realized my other family members were only staying 1 night, I proposed the idea to Scott of cancelling our 2nd night at the Lodge (no cancellation fee) and taking a spontaneous trip to Yosemite for one night. He…
A Short Trip to Monterey, CA
As I mentioned in my last blog, we planned to return to Monterey, CA in a few weeks for my sister-in-law’s Memorial Service. We decided not to take the trailer this time so we could travel more quickly, and chose instead to stay in a local hotel. I was also able to find a wonderful,…
2018 Road Trip Last Stop – Yosemite!
After a quick breakfast in Tonopah, NV, we set out for Yosemite. The drive just to the border of NV/CA seemed like forever, but once we got across the border it wasn’t too long until we started seeing prettier scenery. As we entered Yosemite from the Tioga Pass entrance (9945 elevation) well, it just keeps…
Joshua Tree National Park – Black Rock Campground
The theme of this trip was COOOOOLLLLDDD! The low was 23 with a “feels like” 15 degrees, and very windy! In our pop up we used a propane heater and we were so glad to have it! On the first night there was even snow flurries! We stayed at Black Rock Campground (Site 68) which…
Camp Pendleton-Del Mar RV Resort Nov 2017
Our church has an adults-only RV Group (fur-babies allowed) that goes camping about 4 times a year and this was our first time joining them. You can only camp here if you are military or hosted by military personnel (active or retired), and there are several veterans in our group. You have to be “on…
San Elijo State Beach – July/August 2017
We were able to get this reservation at San Elijo SB very last minute but it wasn’t an ocean view site. In our section there were actually 4 rows (some parts of the loops have just 2 or 3 rows) and we were in the 2nd row from the ocean. The trains were REALLY loud without…
Summer Vacation June 2017 Part 4 – Sequoia National Park-Lodgepole
The last leg of our trip was a stay at the beautiful Lodgepole Campground in Sequoia National Park. Once again our site (152) was right on the water, the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River. The rapids were strong and yet soothing to the ear. Oh, the views! One afternoon we went for a bike…
