Tucson, Arizona is a hotspot for the Sonoran Hotdog. We actually spent a couple of weeks well north of Tucson, near Petrified Forrest National Park, in Holbrook, AZ. It was a challenging two weeks, weather-wise. The first week was a nice 70 degrees outside, with no wind. The next...

Utah is a magical place. We set up camp about 40 miles north of Moab, in the ghost town of Thompson Springs. It’s a quiet place, with a few campgrounds and a gas station off of I-70. The views are spectacular, with red-clay mountains and desert surrounding you. It’s...

When we started traveling full-time, over a year and a half ago, I bequeathed my beloved Weber kettle grill to my sister. I figured it would be too cumbersome to pack, haul and set up. You know, with all the charcoal, the chimney, and just figuring out where to...

Ah, Texas. The home of smoked brisket, a beef lovers paradise! We are here in the Houston area for a month or so. A trip to Houston would not be complete without a visit to the Johnson Space Center, home of NASA. We had a great visit, exploring the...
