Grand Canyon 2022

Grand Canyon 2022

The trip from Oroville to our first destination, Quail Creek RV Park was uneventful. Which is how I like it. We do short travel days, so we spent two nights on the road before that. Our first overnight was at Whiskey Flats RV at Hawthorne, NV. Second night was at Beatty RV just north of…

Spring 2022 Safari to the Coast

Spring 2022 Safari to the Coast

Below are images and some nattering about our early April, 2022 camping trip. We went to Sunset Beach, near Watsonville, CA as the first stop. Below is the view out the back of our campsite – strawberry fields forever. Makes you want to sing about it, doesn’t it? The beach isn’t the greatest place to…

Sierras 2019

Sierras 2019

In July of 2019, we went on a camping trip to the Sierras. We spent three nights at Eagle Lake, followed by three nights at Almanor South campground. Eagle Lake Best campground ever! I thought so last year, and this year verified it. It’s run by the US Forestry Service, and they keep it up…

Return to Bodega Bay

Return to Bodega Bay

We had such a nice time last year that we decided to return to Bodega Bay for another camping trip. Last trip, we stayed in the Bodega Dunes Campground, which is a State of California campground. This was okay, but there aren’t a lot of sites in that one that would work for us. Is…

Coastal Camping 2018

Coastal Camping 2018

October Trip I can rarely be talked into heading off for camping without a reserved campsite, but October I made an exception. The campground at Big Sur is large, it was late in the season, and the last time we were there in October it was pretty much deserted. This time, it was fairly full,…

Red Rock

Red Rock

After we left Death Valley, we went to Red Rock State Park. There’s a small campground there, first come first served.  We were luck enough to not only get a site for two nights but to get a really nice site with a level concrete pad and good picnic table. Site number 6, folks. That’s…

Eagle Lake

Eagle Lake

It seems that there’s more than one Eagle Lake in California, which I suppose shouldn’t surprise anybody. We do have lakes, and we do have eagles. There’s one down by Lake Tahoe, and there’s one to the Northwest of Susanville. There may be a dozen others.  We went camping at Merrell Campground at the Eagle…

Great American Eclipse

Great American Eclipse

I’d been stalking this eclipse for more than ten years. The eclipse path traveled all the way across the United States from Oregon to the East Coast. We decided to go up several days early and visit Crater Lake. I’d seen plenty of photos of Crater Lake, but they hadn’t prepared me for the fact…

Salt Point State Park

Salt Point State Park

We’re having a really hot summer here, and we decided to flee to the coast for a camping trip at Salt Point State Park. Coastal campgrounds fill up in the summer, and it’s not a slam-dunk to find anything at all, but Salt Point did have availability. This park doesn’t have hookups, showers, or a…
