Our 10th travel day! We've been in Taos the last 3 days. Had a lovely ride up by the Rio Grande Gorge on Wednesday and settled down for 3 nights here.

Yesterday we visited the Taos Pueblo and learned a lot about Native American History and life. Much of how they live is just as it was in the 1500s. We both enjoyed that excursion. Especially the freshly cooked fry bread 😋

Later in I did a little shopping and sightseeing around the town of Taos. There's lot of beautiful art and plenty to do for the adventurous.  We both had a pleasant afternoon in the sun and enjoyed walking Maggie and hanging around camp. 

Thus weekend is a Hot Air Balloon event and we got to see a few this morning!

Today we did some housekeeping/RV necessary chores and I worked on a project, rolling a  bunch of coins that have been collecting at our house for years. The quarters are very handy for RV Park laundry rooms! The rest will be easier to deposit in the bank now that they're rolled! 

Tomorrow morning we'll be on the road again and seeing more of America! Thanks for following along and I hope you're enjoying our journey too!

Day 7, One week into this journey

We had a good time visiting Seligman AZ the last few days. We saw a couple of Mike's old school buddies and visited a ranch out of town where one of them works. Today we traveled into New Mexico and are spending 1 night in Grants before heading to Taos, NM tomorrow. 

10/25/ 2025 Travel Day UT, NV, AZ

Good bye UT ! Took off this morning and headed down past St George UT towards Nevada, then the Arizona Strip and again NV, passed Las Vegas and  finally making it to Seligman, AZ, where Mike called home from age 11 through high school. We're staying in the KOA that his parents and another couple built. Mike still has friends here we'll be trying to catch up with them the  next couple days. 

Day 3 Sand Hollow State Park UT

This is the reservoir at Sand Hollow State Park UT. We're camped just above it and are enjoying the peace and the beautiful scenery. We saw migrating pelicans and lots of coots on the lake. We rode bikes and the RZR and tried a little rock climbing in the RZR which was a little scary, but successful! 

The weather was cool this morning. We had quite a rainstorm during the night. By mid day we had warm temps again. Mike worked outside tuning on the RZR and bikes. I took a bicycle ride and tried to get brave and ride the little motor bike. I made it safely around the campground but I'm not very comfortable with it. Mike took his bike out and around and had a great ride. Every day or two I put a leash and harness on Roxxi and try to take her outside. She is not impressed by it at all. Today she did take a few steps before she plopped down but she really doesn't like it...

Day 4 , Last day in Utah

This was our last full day in Sand Hollow UT. It was fun and full. We had some family come visit who happened to be visiting St. George UT this week. It was great to visit, take a ride together and just spend time with them. After they left I did a little shopping to be ready for the next phase, and we got the rig ready to go again.  We saw some really cool paragliders this afternoon, but couldn't get any pictures because I was driving and then the sun was too bright to catch a good shot. They were fun to watch as they spun and turned about in the air and over the lake! We're heading to AZ tomorrow for a few days and hopefully catch up with some of Mike's friends in Seligman.

Happy Trails! 

Day 2 Oct 22 2025

 We got a fresh start around 10 this morning. The night was chilly in Nephi. I tried taking Roxxi out on the leash and she didn't care for that. She ate and drank though, and seems happy. Maggie is a great dog companion for her and all is good! It's a 3 hour trip and we stopped for fuel, potty, and food in Florence. We arrived at Sand Hollow, near Hurricane UT and situated close to Zion National Park, around 2 pm. We have a beautiful view from the campsite. The pets are doing wonderful and we took the RZR out on a little trail ride. It's gorgeous weather and views here and glad to be settled for a couple of nights here. 

On the road again Day 1 10/21/2025

 The RV is serviced, fueled and packed and the pets are riding along, a dog who has made many trips and a cat who is brand new to this sort of adventure. She's our tiny kitty who's about 10 years old. She's only been separated from us for short periods until our last RV trip. Usually she was fine, but when we left for a few months we came back and she'd lost weight and hadn't come back in the house after the first day the sitter let her out. I couldn't bear to leave her so we made the decision to give her a try in the RV.  The first couple hours were interrupted with a few desperate whines, but now 3 hours into the ride, Roxxi has found a happy place nuzzling with our Aussie, Maggie. 

The weather at our home in Idaho was chilly this morning with the first frost of the year. It was a confirmation that it's a great time to head south. The stay tonight is in Nephi, UT. A small town that was a good distance to break  up the trip to  Sand Hollow where we're going tomorrow.
