We extended our stay in Las Vegas because we planned to fly to New York for a TV appearance; Leanne on the Live with Kelly and Ryan. Unfortunately, Leanne got struck with immobilizing neck pain, and we had to cancel the New York trip last-minute. Needless to say, both of us were itching to ...
Most of the time we prefer to set up on BLM land or in a national or state park, but we needed to be in one place for a few weeks and ended up booking a spot at the Oasis RV Resort in Las Vegas. We were here for Christmas and New Years. The park ...
We spent an entire week parked on the dried out lake bed at the foot of the Silurian Hills near Baker, California. For now, this is our favorite BLM site. It was early December, and it wasn't too hot during the day, but got quite chilly at night. We also experienced a few days ...
We visited the Trona Pinnacles (35.6159391,-117.3824838) in early December during our stay at the Keyesville BLM campground. The Trona Pinnacles are on BLM land and camping is allowed.

We stayed here toward the end of November and the weather was amazing. This campground is a great spot if you want a place to disconnect, but it ...
The Winchester House is a very cool place to check out if you're in the San Francisco / San Jose area. The house, which is really a mansion, was built by Sarah Lockwood Winchester, the widow of William Wirt Winchester, who was the son of the Winchester Firearms Company founder. After William's death, Sarah ...
