May 10, 2025, we arrived at our third Harvest Host within the week! This one was the Rio Grande Winery in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Oh, yeah, this stop will be costing us some money. 🙂 Parking was super easy and a perfect distance away from the action. The parking lot will be full tonight.… Continue reading RioGrande Winery with Pickleball!
Tombstone & Wyatt Earp
Barry arranged for two nights at our second Harvest Host “Third & Survey”, to facilitate our time checking out Tombstone. Leann is an awesome host! Extremely personable and helpful. This Harvest Host site has a lot more room than we expected from what we saw online. Since we could dry-camp, we got a wonderfully private,… Continue reading Tombstone & Wyatt Earp
Tucson’s LIVING DESERT MUSEUM
MAY 5, 2025Today, we went to Tucson’s Living Desert Museum next to the Saguaro National Park. We spent three and a half hours enjoying the well-laid out 21 acres 1 1/2-2 miles of walking paths through various habitats. This cactus caught my eye as we approached the museum entrance. How cool! It is a Crested… Continue reading Tucson’s LIVING DESERT MUSEUM
Adventures in Sadie BEGIN!
Today is an exciting day for Barry and me as we head out for 5-6 months in Sadie, our new 2025 Grech RV Strata-Ion Tour.

Boo-Head Bash Pickleball Tournament
What does it mean when someone sends you a four word text out of the blue: “How old are u?” It means, if you answer in the “right” range, you may end up registering for a pickleball tournament! That’s exactly what Jim Richardson did on August 28. I responded, and then my phone rang! LOL… Continue reading Boo-Head Bash Pickleball Tournament
WooHoo – We REALLY Did It!!
We made a major RV DOWNSIZE! No more just throwing the idea around and researching multiple options. It was scary making the final decision to say goodbye to Vinny and go this small, but we were ready and it felt good. “PatricksMovinOn” is moving into a new phase of living and exploring on the road.… Continue reading WooHoo – We REALLY Did It!!
Beach Time with the Kiddos
Today was a great day at Silver Strand State Beach. Justin brought Isaac and Mona out for the day. This is the first we’ve been with these guys in over 6 months! We always miss them. (Thank goodness for the occasional FaceTime calls.) When they first arrived, we had a scavenger hunt set up for… Continue reading Beach Time with the Kiddos
ELK & Ecola State Park
ECOLA STATE PARKWhile staying two weeks in Seaside, we explored Ecola State Park. This is the place to go to get iconic pictures of Haystack Rock and the Tillamook Lighthouse. This would be a great time to go. On our way I spotted some elk! A couple bulls and a few females. I immediately pulled… Continue reading ELK & Ecola State Park
