On our final morning at Goulding’s RV Park we “unplugged” and set about continuing our explorations of seeing new places and meeting new people. This day’s journey took us back down Utah Highway 163 to Kayenta where we rejoined Utah 160 and we headed south to Utah 98, where we turned northwest as we crossed [...]

There is so much more to Monument Valley than the the area seen by most tourists. Yes the scenery is magnificent–almost beyond description. But that’s only part of what’s there. The Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park is the “major” attraction that you can tour (by bus, car/jeep or hike but make sure to get proper [...]

Heading eastward on I-40 we transitioned to State Highway 89 (Exit #201) just east of Flagstaff, Arizona (elevation 6905’). For much of the balance our trip, we would be traveling on various 2 lane state highways. 52 miles north of Flagstaff we turn northeast onto Highway 160. We took one truly remarkable side trip. Some [...]

In addition to the RV spot, we had booked a package for a one-day round trip from the Grand Canyon RV Park to the south rim of the canyon in a dome car on the Grand Canyon Railroad. There are six classes of seating options for the train ride, which vary from coach to dome [...]

Since that Saturday afternoon in 1949, when I first saw the western movie, “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon,” the longing to go and see where the movie had been filmed had never left me. On a rainy Thursday afternoon fifty years later, I walked into Gouldings Historical Museum at Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park and [...]

I was never a cat person, until I met my wife some 22 years ago. Yes, it took some time but here I am; not only living with them, but now, I have a CAT OF MY OWN! Traveling in the past, prior to our “RV” days, meant that we paid someone to come to [...]

Our plan was to travel from our home in Ventura County, California to the San Diego area for “a few days,” visit Sea World and to see some of the area’s other attractions. We left home in our 31’ class C around 10.00 AM. Due to an accident on Highway 1, the “Coast Route,” we [...]

If the Mizpah Hotel was the “queen” of Tonopah, then the Goldfield Hotel was surely the queen of Goldfield.  Built in 1909, this four-story beauty still stands as a sentinel in “downtown” Goldfield. We had spent a great deal of time in Goldfield in the late 1990’s and even participated in a  Goldfield Days celebration [...]

The 120 mile drive to Ely, Nevada from West Wendover on Highway 93 alt & Highway 93 was a scenic trip through rolling hills, without the extensive ups and downs which we had experienced on the prior travel day’s driving.The Nevada Hotel and Gambling Hall, located on East Altman Street (Highway 93) was worth the [...]

One of the very few disappointments we encountered during our entire trip was the next day when we went to Wells, Nevada.  For years we have been reading articles and brochures regarding Well’s historic district.  On the morning we turned our RV onto Wells Nevada’s historic 7th (Front) Street we almost went into shock.  The [...]
