This was our 2nd San Felipe 250 race. Last year we received an off-road racing education when the Bevly-Wilson team stayed next to us at Victor’s RV park. We came back and the team returned also. Our spot was across the park this year so we didn’t get to experience The Bago rocking when they […]

Bahia San Luis Gonzaga
Last year we spent a month in San Felipe, Baja California on the Sea of Cortez in our The Bago. San Felipe is about two hours from El Centro, California and an easy drive to shrimp tacos, sand, and the sea. We called this first RVing trip into Mexico “Baja Lite”. This year we were […]
Saddle Mountain
We met up with Kirk and Anya at Saddle Mountain, a great free camping spot outside of Phoenix. This place definitely ticks all of our free camping boxes with great views, fairly easy access, hiking, and wide open spaces. Bonus – really fast AT&T internet on the Mobley and broadcast digital HD TV to enjoy some […]
Bago Blogging
We’ve been asked by Winnebago to write for their lifestyle blog – WinnebagoLife. Our first post on the Class A RV as an adventure mobile is up on the site. Yes, Mom, it’s a paid gig!
Another Borrego New Year
For the second year in a row, we rang in the New Year at Rockhouse Road in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Last year we met Stacey and Gary Quimby of www.pauhanatravels.com . This year we were joined by fellow Xscapers Kirk and Anya, Dan and Lisa, Kelly, Denny and Veronica, Bill and Porter, and Camille and Bryce. For New […]
Happy Holidays 2017
I’ve been a complete blog slacker so here’s one post for 11/17/17 – 12/28/17. We went back to the Thousand Trails in Palm Springs and met up Denny and Veronica for Thanksgiving. I cooked a 14-pound turkey breast in our convection oven which turned out pretty good after a minor fire and ditched effort to […]
Lake Mead
Jaime challenged me to find a new destination during our stay at Lake Powell. Maybe somewhere warm where we could paddle. Checking the map and Campendium.com I found a great free spot on Lake Mead – Stewarts Point. We really didn’t know much about the area but ended up really liking it. Our site was […]
Lake Powell
A relatively short drive from Cottonwood took us back up to Lone Rock Campground on Lake Powell. I had wanted to explore the slot canyons in the area but couldn’t find any easy boondocking so we came back to the same spot we stayed in this past spring. The views of the Lake here are […]
Sedona/Cottonwood
From Goosenecks we headed Southwest to Cottonwood outside of Sedona. We had stayed last Spring at the Verde Valley Thousand Trails and it was one of our favorites but a little hard to get into because many people feel the same way. Jaime managed to get us a two week reservation which went by pretty quickly. […]
Goosenecks State Park
From Moab we headed South towards Valley of The Gods. We had originally planned to boondock down a dirt road but Jaime’s iPhone failed to direct us correctly and my GPS POI had us going up the wrong direction. Seeing signs for Goosenecks State Park, I made a gametime decision to check it out. For […]
