    With just a few days left in April 2025, we make one more move toward Moab, leaving Kanab, Utah, a day earlier than planned because we had already accomplished our national park checklist.

    When the Jeep Keeps Going but the Motorhome Says Nope

    What began as a two-week off-road adventure in Apache Junction stretched into nearly three, thanks to a cracked motorhome hitch and a botched window repair. We hit the trails with the Escapees Jeepers BOF group near Cottonwood, made new friends with ice cream in the desert heat, and battled trail damage to Rubi.

At least Barb got to show off her expert parking skills at Golden Sun.Read More »
