Canyon de Chelly

Making our way back to the US we stayed at Desert Paradise in Yuma for a week to re-provision with trips to the massive supermarkets, Walmart, and delivery from Costco. Our next stop the Verde Valley RV Park in Cottonwood, AZ near Sedona, and the awesome red rock hiking trails. We were headed to New […]

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.

The Grand Canyon

The Last Tango

Our plan was to move into The Tango, spend a few nights shake down / test camp at the Thousand Trails Palm Springs since we haven’t actually used the camper since February 2011, then to Hope, AZ with the parents (and to visit the Winnebago!) for a bit, Sedona for a couple nights and then a week […]
