“Ter… what??!! Terlingua? Is that a place or a disease? It’s not even on the map! What is there to do for 6 days in a place that’s not even on the map?!!!!!” These words eminently spoken by my dear husband and travel partner on the eve of our departure for Terlingua, TX. It was […]

006: Oh to be a ‘mountain person’ in Cochise County!
I’m a ‘mountain’ person in that I tend to re-energize or recharge best surrounded by mountains. If water is nearby in the form of an ocean or a lake, that’s a bonus, but truthfully, get me near mountains any time!

005: The Zen of RVing?
Since purchasing our new rig three weeks ago, Mr. Bond II, we’ve been hovering around Phoenix to be close to the dealership in the event of any issues that may arise during the initial break-in period.

Why we love the Desert (surprisingly!)
Hello RedbirdRV Friends, This is my first blog entry. Bear with me as I’m struggling to understand how WordPress works. I selected WordPress for its reputation as being super easy to work with, but this ain’t in my ‘natural’ wheelhouse to say the least! I’ve been ‘playing’ with it, consulted several how-to books and online […]
