I’ve never been too crazy about Oklahoma, but we arrived for one night in Oklahoma City (OKC), and what an impressive city! Barry discovered a Full Moon Bike Ride that was happening the night we had a travel stop in OKC. We thought it would be cool to do the bike ride, and it would… Continue reading Oklahoma City and A Full Moon Bike Ride

Cadillac Ranch – WTH?
We were in Amarillo, Tx just for an overnight travel stop. Barry had heard of “Cadillac Ranch” and wanted to go check it out since we were fairly close to it. It is located just off of I-40 at exit 60, and is in a giant field. You park along the frontage road and walk… Continue reading Cadillac Ranch – WTH?
Making New Friends at Roswell, NM
When Barry began planning our big trip, Abby sent us a couple of books for Christmas to possibly aid us in what to see. The Ultimate Guide to the Roswell UFO Crash, by Noe Torres was intriguing.

White Sands National Park

I loved the contrast of the dark… Continue reading White Sands National Park

We became good… Continue reading Reconnecting With Friends

We arrived May 30 and departed June 3. While not far, it… Continue reading Silver Strand State Beach 2022
Geocaching & Our Last Day at Quartzsite 2022
There was a Geocaching class late in the week that I took advantage of since I’ve been curious about it for some time. Dave of “OurEndeavor” (on YouTube) led the class. Prior to meeting up I downloaded the Geocaching App and made an account. We went to a couple locations that were near our rally… Continue reading Geocaching & Our Last Day at Quartzsite 2022
Scavenger Hunt – Next Exit Quartzsite – Part 4
I offered to organize a scavenger hunt where teams look for a variety of items within their RVs. Some items will be quite specific to receive the points, or to earn bonus points. For example–20 points for a deck of animal themed playing cards, or 20 points for any ball, but 20 additional bonus points… Continue reading Scavenger Hunt – Next Exit Quartzsite – Part 4
