There was a Geocaching class late in the week that I took advantage of since I’ve been curious about it for some time. Dave of “OurEndeavor” (on YouTube) led the class. Prior to meeting up I downloaded the Geocaching App and made an account. We went to a couple locations that were near our rally… Continue reading Geocaching & Our Last Day at Quartzsite 2022

Scavenger Hunt – Next Exit Quartzsite – Part 4
I offered to organize a scavenger hunt where teams look for a variety of items within their RVs. Some items will be quite specific to receive the points, or to earn bonus points. For example–20 points for a deck of animal themed playing cards, or 20 points for any ball, but 20 additional bonus points… Continue reading Scavenger Hunt – Next Exit Quartzsite – Part 4
Artistic Time – Quartzsite Rally Part 3
Wednesday, Jan 26 Today was my artsy day at the rally. I went to the watercolor postcard activity in the morning. It was pretty cool. Loni had more than enough postcard-sized watercolor paper already taped onto a board for each of us. Loni walked everyone through step by step to make a sunset sky with… Continue reading Artistic Time – Quartzsite Rally Part 3
Off-Road Jeeping -Quartzsite Rally Part 2
Tuesday, an off-road ride to Dripping Springs, and on further to some mine was planned. Our jeep (TJ) is a simple stock, two-door, Jeep Wrangler Sport. Regular tires. No lift kit.

Dental Journey to Mexico
We were making our way down the coast of Oregon and California when I got like a pimple in my mouth on my lower gum. I’ve never had anything like this before, so I took a picture of it and sent it to my dentist in Escondido. They told me it was infection trying to… Continue reading Dental Journey to Mexico
Back to Pio Pico for 4 Weeks
September 1 we returned to Pio Pio Thousand Trails in Jamul, California. We visit here fairly regularly to have quality time with our grandkids. I also get a lot of good pickleball in at Mackenzie Creek Park since it is only about 10 minutes away–and close to the kids. This post is mainly about the… Continue reading Back to Pio Pico for 4 Weeks
Chillin’ on Rincon Parkway
Barry made our reservation for two nights on the Rincon Parkway months ago. We’ve had a nice, leisure trip down the coast, but this stop was allowing us to be right at the beach and hear the waves all day and night. We both love the water. Luckily, a couple days ago he saw that… Continue reading Chillin’ on Rincon Parkway
Santa Barbara: Elks RV, Pickleball and Oysters
Santa Barbara was not a major stop, but it turned out to be the one that made August the month of oysters for us! August 26, we arrived at the Santa Barbara Elks. It was a little confusing as we pulled in. Pulling in from the street, and being about 56 feet long with the… Continue reading Santa Barbara: Elks RV, Pickleball and Oysters
