Month: April 2017

  • Burgers and Bingo at the Country Club

    I feel the need to start this post by assuring you that yes, this is a real thing. Once a month the San Luis Obispo Country Club hosts a fabulous evening of burgers and bingo. And it just so happens that the California Drazsnzaks live within walking distance of the San Luis Obispo Country Club.…

  • Sedona and Beyond (aka Prescott)

    After spending the night at Schnebly Hill, we headed up to Flagstaff to resupply. Dog food, groceries, and a new Luci Light from REI later, we headed back to Sedona via Oak Creek Canyon. It was a Friday afternoon – the Friday before Easter, so the drive down the Canyon, while beautiful, was pretty crowded.…

  • Sedona: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    We arrived in Sedona on Monday, April 10th, and promptly met up with our friend Wayne. He’s an old friend of Michael’s – they used to work together at the Fort Collins REI. Wayne now lives in Prescott and came out to show us the best of Sedona’s mountain biking. We headed over to Sedona’s…

  • The Holding Pattern

    Tucson turned out to be a pretty cool place. The people there were friendly and it was pretty diverse, thanks to the University of Arizona. Tucson is a good-sized city, so we had multiple oil-change places to pick from, as well as several Discount Tire shops. So we took a day to take care of…

  • Greetings From Tucson

    We moved on to the city of Tucson on April 1st. It wasn’t that far away from our last campsite in Coronado National Forest, so we had time to stop in the Tucson REI and spend some of our dividend. After that we looked up local bike shops, with Google telling us that the number…

  • A Moveable Feast

    When we meet people in our travels, and they ask what we do, Michael usually tells people he’s a “chef by trade.” And a lot of them then turn to me and say, “oooh, you must eat so well!” Sure I do. Now. When Michael was a working chef, he usually worked a minimum of…

  • Ahhhhhh….Gila Hot Springs

    After heading out of Aguirre Springs campground on Sunday, March 26th. We were only about a half hour from Las Cruces, so we stopped in, found a cool coffee shop (Milagro’s Coffee y Espresso), and stocked up on groceries at Albertson’s. A side note: what the hell happened to Lara Bars? I used to be…

  • Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands

    It’s been a while since I posted, and our adventures continue. So strap yourselves in – it might be a bumpy ride. In our desire to get the hell out of Texas, we drove from Kerrville to Carlsbad, New Mexico, in one day. Normally we don’t attempt this kind of distance – we try to…
