Getting your RV organized is very important. When you’re living in a smaller space and traveling on the road, you need to be sure you are packed efficiently, that everything is in its place, and that it’s strapped down so it doesn’t bounce around while on the road. When you’re properly organized, you have the […]
As you step into your RV for the first time, you might be overwhelmed by what there is to learn, like how you are going to drive it and where on earth you are going to store all of your clothes, groceries and souvenirs that you pick up along the way over the course of […]
A week or so ago, we talked about cooking in your RV. Sure, there’s limited counter and storage space, but it’s still a snap to make pasta, pancakes, even hot dogs and kabobs, inside your RV. You can even zap TV dinners in the microwave if you’re short on time and energy at the end […]

At a recent Future Forests Summit encouraging news was heard – scientists are confident that these beetle-infected forests throughout the west will regenerate. […]
Here’s a statistic that may surprise you: Grandparents now account for one-third of all leisure travelers. Wow. Trip Advisor’s annual family travel survey reported that family travel rose 6 percent in 2011, and 38 percent of families planned multigenerational trips.

Not long ago I read about a ranger from Grand Canyon National Park, Lisa Hendy, who was named the recipient of the 2011 Harry Yount National Park Ranger Award. This award is the highest honor bestowed on a park ranger, but as I read about this ranger’s skills, I was amazed: “She’s fought structural and […]
The San Francisco Bay is one of the most beautiful locations in the world, and this is a banner year to see it. The Golden Gate Bridge turned 75 on May 27, marking the day in 1937 when “the bridge that couldn’t be built” officially opened to worldwide acclaim. In addition, San Francisco will welcome […]
