Falling off #bikes at #HalfMoonBay. #AdventureDog #RVLife #RV

This past weekend we went to Half Moon Bay.   Half Moon Bay is a nice getaway.  You get to experience the beach, there’s little nearby farms to buy fresh produce or cool plants, and there’s a nice coastal bike/walk trail. We stayed at Half Moon Bay State Beach, specifically at Francis Beach.  Dogs are not allowed on the beach, so Panda did not have as adventurous a time this time.  We did,…

Hot, Dry & Stupid: #FolsomLake, CA. We won't be coming back here anytime soon. #RV #RVLife

Folsom Lake is a nice little destination.  Usually Folsom Lake State Recreation Area is always booked, but we were somehow able to book it last minute and take off for the weekend.  It may be because it was really hot that weekend and no one probably wanted to suffer the heat.  We were only there one night, so it wasn’t too bad.  It’s always nice to get out of the house and do a little RV trip…

#Railbike Tour at our State Capital, #CarsonCity #Nevada

We went on a new adventure by trying out a railbike tour.  Our original thought was to do a rail bike tour at Fort Bragg.  That’s initially how we even learned of railbikes.  Fort Bragg’s tour goes through the redwood forest and looks absolutely magical.  Unfortunately, the prices are about $200 a person!  That seemed a bit steep for us.  In my mind, I was thinking that the price is more than a…

Trip to #Utah and the Great Salt Lake. #SaltLakeCity #RV #Fishing #RVLife

We had never been to Salt Lake City before.  The last time we were in Utah was right as the pandemic was starting and we had briefly visited Zion National Park.  Visiting a super salty lake seemed intriguing and now we get to say that we’ve been there. The walk from the parking lot to the lake itself seemed pretty far. It wasn’t all soft sand either.  There were lots of rocks, so flip flops were…

Chasing Bioluminescence in #SanDiego #LaJolla. Living the #RVLife with our #AdventureDog

Tide pools and seals and gardens…oh my!  That sums up our trip to San Diego.  This was not our first time to San Diego, but it was our first time making it an RV trip.  Beach trips are my favorite, so I had a ton of fun. We originally had decided on this trip because we heard of this awesome once in a 30 year span of bioluminescence event that was supposed to take place (link to what that is if…

Our Longest Trip Yet: #OregonCoast & #Seattle. #RVLife #AdventureDog

Oregon coast is just so beautiful.  The tides crashing into the rock formations is a sight to see.  We went to some beaches, including Gold Beach and had a blast exploring the tide pools.  There were thousands upon thousands of clams along the rocks.  We don’t eat seafood, but the clams were not edible anyway for those wondering.  A sign was posted saying they were toxic.   We saw everything…

Hanging out in #Fresno and checking out the famous #BlossomTrail @GoBlossomTrail #RVLife

I had been wanting to see fruit trees in bloom and there’s a blossom trail in Fresno, California where you can do just that!.  So it was decided that we would take an RV trip there to check it out. We went in March, which is when all the trees are supposed to be in full blossom.  There are all sorts of fruit trees with blossoms, such as almond blossoms, plum blossoms, apricot blossoms, and…

Visiting an #Alpaca farm in #GrassValley, #CA. We even got yarn for #Knitting and #Crocheting from the #Alpacas ! #RVLife

Alpacas are such interesting creatures. Wouldn’t you agree?  They have the most lovable faces and derpy vibe to them.  Tam and I have been wanting to visit an alpaca farm for awhile and it finally happened! It was during my birthday week and Tam surprised me during one of our RV trips.  He wanted to take me to this alpaca farm on the day of my birthday, but I had my Covid-19 vaccine scheduled…

Trip to the #MoaningCaverns and #AngelsCamp in #California. Just living our #RVLife to the fullest with our #AdventureDog

Did you know that you can see a natural cave in California?  I had no idea.  I thought stuff like that was only in the east coast.  Well, it’s not.  Moaning Caverns (I know weird name) was quite the site to see.  If you’re wondering how I even heard about it, the answer is Facebook.  I know, I know, very strange.  Ever since we started going on RV trips and I’ve been researching places to go,…

Frenchman #Lake for a little #fishing and enjoying the #RVlife with our #Adventuredog

Our latest adventure was at Frenchman Lake in Plumas County, California.  The weather was a bit breezy, but for the most part, it was nice.  No crowds and a serene environment is how I would describe it.  Wildlife there intrigued us.  A herd of deer walked by us.  Funny story, actually… I was inside the RV when my husband called out, “Come out here, quick!” I come and the sun is just blaring into…

Birds at #BodegaBay ! #RVlife #AdventureDog

This is another catch-up post for a trip we took the weekend of September 25th, 2020. There is one more post after this one that is the last trip we every took in “The Beast” before we got Harvey. Watch out for the birds!!! Just kidding.  For those of you who are like,”ummm, what are you talking about?”… I’m making a reference to the Alfred Hitchcok 1963 thriller movie.  I watched it as a kid…

#Vanlife Trip to #AppleHill with a great #hike at #SlyPark #PollockPines. #RVLife #Adventuredog

The post below is from a trip we took back in late October of 2020 but I haven’t gotten around to putting all the images in until now. Sorry for the delay! My wife and I have only been to Apple Hill near Placerville, CA once a long time ago and I figure it was long overdue we came back to check it out. This time with our van so that we can hang out and enjoy the area (Apple Hill Map). Our first…

Shh... our trip to Secret Beach, #Oregon Coast. In our new #RV #RVLife #AdventureDog

It’s January 2021! We are in the new year and our first trip is to the Oregon coast. It’s lovely here. The coast is much different in Oregon than in California. Seems like the beach stretches out forever. There’s giant rocks scattered everywhere and I have been enjoying watching the waves crash into them. The RV resort we are at is called Turtle Rock. There’s a giant rock that resembles a…

Who's "Harvey the RV"? #Rvlife #RV #Adventure #Roadtrip

So who’s Harvy? Great question. Christmas for us came in the form of a new RV. So… what are the details and how did this all happen having not posting after so long? Well read on to find out what happened. Last month, the week before Christmas 2020 was just like any other week in 2020. We were quarantined at home much like everyone else. The Roadtrek was winterized for the past couple months so…

The best #Dog backpack for our shih tzu we've found! #RV #Vanlife #AdventureDog #Pets

Prior to getting the RV, one of the things we wanted to do was spend more time with our dog, Panda. He’s a 10 yr old Shih-Tzu with a grumpy demeanor. Traveling by RV made it easier for us to bring him along without having to find a pet friendly hotel. These hotels also are usually pretty expensive and charge a non-refundable deposit.

In our past travels before the RV when we’ve gone to Santa…
