I have visited this area multiple times, but had never heard of the Burney Falls. After seeing a small picture in a “things to do around here” flyer, we decided to check it out. About a 45 minute drive from the RV Park was all it took. What a gorgeous […]

Yosemite in the snow
Well, it happened. After trying for about 4 years, we finally got the timing right and were in Yosemite the morning after a severe snow storm. And let me tell you . . . IT WAS AWESOME! Snow laden trees, prestine and thick soft snow on the ground, just beautiful […]
A trip into Sego Canyon
Despite every intention to get up early today, it wasn’t until eight-ish before we surfaced. Looking outside and seeing no clouds what so ever, made us re-think our plans. Instead of going into Arches NP again, we decided to go to Sego Canyon to find the petroglyph and pictograph rock […]

Photography in Death Valley
Have you ever thought of going to Death Valley for a photography adventure? Perhaps you have not given it much thought. Perhaps you have but consider it too hot? Or maybe your perception of it that it’s just a desert and not all that interesting. What if I told you […]
