Snowbound! – Saturday 26th April 2014
We’ve woken up to snow over the roads and an intermittent blizzard blowing outside. The Railside RV people are great – free coffee, oat cereal, waffles. So we sitting out the snowstorm glad we didn’t camp but slept on the … Continue reading

Traffic and the Art of Map Reading on the Way to Chino Valley – Thursday 24th April 2014 (60 miles, only 51 on route)
Today was surprisingly tough due to my slight cold, the heavy traffic between Prescott and Chino Valley, getting lost in Prescott (all the difference between the mileage we did and the mileage on route) and the fact that we didn’t … Continue reading

Climbing to Yarnell – Wednesday 23rd April 2014 (61 miles, 60 on route)
Since the Grand Canyon is over a mile deep, we need to get to at least a mile above sea level in order to look at it from the canyon rim. Today we went from 1500′ to about 5000′ at … Continue reading

Apache Junction to Surprise via Phoenix Suburbia – Tuesday 22nd April 2014 (68 miles but only 61 on route)
We intend to ramble up to the Grand Canyon rather than head straight for the Pacific (a mere 400 miles away, why we can smell the sea breeze). Why? Well, we can’t miss the Grand Canyon and we would like … Continue reading

Getting Across the Globe – 20th April 2014 (Easter Sunday, 78 miles, 75 miles on route).
A journey across a fairly baking scrubby desert with some hills. We were not sad to leave Red Lamp RV – 5 out of 10 for campers (whereas Silver City would have been awarded 9 out of 10). Arizona does … Continue reading

Tremendous Landscapes, But We Do the Washing – Saturday 19th April (42 miles but only about 38 on route)
Your browser does not support the video tag. We knew that today would have to be a short day since you either do 40-ish or else you have to reach Globe, 110 miles away (hilly too). So we planned to … Continue reading

Downhill (mostly) to Three Way – Good Friday, 18th April 2014 (85 miles, about 82 on route)
We got up a touch earlier today since we’d worked out that we really need to do 85 miles or so to get to the next campsite – which is on a lawn provided by the USFS (US Forestry Service) … Continue reading

Your browser does not support the video tag. After a modest breakfast we chatted to Grant, who is doing hot springs – he has a book that details many more on our route. So we hope to find at least … Continue reading
