We had an amazing time in Flagstaff but were ready to continue on our journey and explore Santa Fe, New Mexico. We stayed at Cochiti Lake Campground, which is a COE, about 30 minutes outside the city. On the weekend, the campground was roughly about half full, with the exception of the people right across from us. One of the things we immediately...
After spending a month in Las Vegas at Hitchin’ Post RV Park where we were inundated constantly by the noise of the fighter jets, the hustle and bustle of the strip, and the desert heat, we were looking for the exact opposite of all of that. Greer’s Pine Shadows gave us all of that and then some! As we drove south-east from Las Vegas and neared the...
After doing our research on where we could stay in Las Vegas, we came up with Hitchin’ Post and Circus Circus. We ultimately chose Hitchin’ Post since we kept hearing about all of the crime that happens at Circus Circus. The check in process was pretty smooth overall. There is marked parking for RV’s in front of the office. The office itself is open...
After spending 3 weeks at Dockweiler RV Park, we were fortunate enough to spend our last week in Los Angeles at Malibu Beach RV Park. Shortly after we arrived and started to get everything setup, we saw that there were dolphins swimming out in the water! A great welcoming party! We knew right away that this was going to be a fabulous location to camp for the...
Here are some pros and cons of staying at Dockweiler. Pro: steps to the sand Con: the bike path runs between the park and the sand with lots of traffic Pro: access to the fire pits on the beach Con: directly underneath LAX Pro: convenient location to everything in LA Con: very tight spaces with little to no room between rigs Aaron has always had a dream of...
We knew a flat tire was bound to happen, but we didn’t realize that it was going to happen so quickly. While we were staying in Los Angeles, at some point, we picked up a screw in our tire. We noticed this as we were getting ready to take the truck in for its first oil change. Figuring that maybe they could look at it / fix it / patch it, we...
We arrived on a Sunday during Presidents Day weekend, so the campsites were all booked up until Monday. Luckily, they offer primitive camping (no hookups) in a parking lot right on the lake at the end of the boat launch area. We were meeting up with friends who were already parked and set up. We pulled in and got out of the car after a VERY long 2 days, covering 800...
Pecan Park served as our “home-base” for 3 months while we got a grasp on living full time in our camper and performed some much-needed upgrades to our truck. Having lived in NE Austin, the move down to San Marcos was very easy. With only a 30-40 minute drive into downtown Austin from the park, we still had the convenience of the city while we were living...
