It is nice to visit the fancy resort campgrounds, and chum around with all of the super friendly Escapee MembersÂ….but! There is one thing that Judy and I agree on, it is just so neat to get out in the wilds in a small state, county or federal campground. For the next two days we will be in the Pima County, Tucson Mountain Park in the Gilbert Ray Campground. Continue reading Wilderness and In Between

Gary and Judy drove North and Ed and Sarah drove West and we all met in Healdsberg in Sonoma County California. We both started out independently. Gary and Judy braving the traffic on I-808 through the heart of the East Bay from San Jose through Oakland and San Rafael to get to 101. Ed and Sarah running the I-80 gauntlet through Napa and Sonoma. Continue reading Wine Country Explorations:
