Continuous Travelers – Freedom is Life in Our Tiny Home in the Desert
On our way to Arizona, we stayed at the Chiriaco Summit Rest Stop off Interstate 10. Expansive views of California’s Colorado Desert and mountains. A gravel pad. No hookups. And it was free! This is the moment it hit me. Sue and I had sold our Oregon home and moved into our travel trailer for…

Continuous Travelers – The Cactus Shack
Because the Tucson temperatures have been steadily rising over the last week or so, and we were getting a late start, we chose a relatively short 3.9 mile loop trail Friday through Saguaro National Park East. Unfortunately, we found a chunk of our loop was closed for renovation which left us winging it without a…

Continuous Travelers – Monday Morning Safari
Someone told me it’s all happening at the zoo… Paul Simon We are learning that Tucson is not just blue skies, cactus and hiking trails, although there is much of that to enjoy. Today we left our hiking shoes at the trailer and drove 15 minutes to the Reid Park Zoo, a 24 acre, city-owned…

Continuous Travelers – Ancient Footsteps
Two years ago, we escaped the cold Oregon winter and, for the first time, spent January and February in Tucson, Arizona. The area turned out to be a hiking paradise for us, offering what seemed to be a never-ending network of trails. This year we’re back in Tucson, revisiting some old favorites and discovering new…

Continuous Travelers – This Is Not What We Expected
It was a free campsite, just off California’s Interstate 10…a quick stop on our way to Tucson, Arizona. There are no amenities offered at Chiriaco Summit Campground, just a place to park…no charge. Reg and I expected a free-for-all with trailers and RVs scattered every which-way around the desert landscape. However, the Chiriaco Summit rest…

Continuous Travelers – Looking Back, Moving Forward
Before leaving California, we spent one more day wandering among the giants of Calaveras Big Trees State Park, near Angels Camp in the gold country. The giant sequoias really must be seen to be believed. As I photographed these two trees, named Mother and Son, a parent and child appeared. While it gives a good…

Continuous Travelers – No Forwarding Address
Our recent (quick) decision to sell our home of 11 years and unload most of our belongings was not an effort to “run away” from home, but simply a choice of “running to” new experiences. We figured moving into our trailer would allow us to take our time as we explore new communities and enjoy…

Continuous Travelers – Moving On
We never intended to stay so long in Fort Bragg, however…we weren’t expecting such a nice campground just south of downtown. We weren’t expecting to find so many interesting coastal and forest hikes. We really weren’t expecting to have such gorgeous weather for the three weeks we’ve been here. Blue skies and little wind have…

Continuous Travelers Explore The Pygmy Forest
It’s been six weeks since escrow closed on our Oregon home, and just two weeks since we left Southern Oregon and headed south. We haven’t made it very far, but that’s okay. There is no timetable. We’re enjoying an extended stay along the coast of Mendocino, taking full advantage of a stretch of beautifully sunny…
