All About Elvis
If you follow this blog, you know that we have two dogs, Bailey and Elvis. Both are rescues. Elvis came from a place called Second Chance Rescue in 2002. At the time his age was estimated at 1-2 years. (Doing the math… that makes him an old dog.) Bailey came from the Longmont Humane Society…

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…

And The Adventures Just Keep Coming
After all that beach camping in Florida (which you can read about here and here), I was pretty excited at the opportunity to do it in Texas, and for free. I’ve mentioned FreeCampsites.net before, and they haven’t generally steered us wrong. Well. Here’s the link so you can read the descriptions for yourself, if you…

Battleships and Southern Cooking
Our first post-Florida destination was actually pretty close by: the USS Alabama, moored at Battleship Park in Mobile, Alabama. I visited here once, a long time back, but Michael has never been on a battleship before. Let’s just say this place was awesome. I especially loved the boiler and engine rooms. Ships like this strike me…

Time for some adventures
After south Florida and the Everglades, our next stop was Bonita Springs. We had a wonderful weekend there with Michael’s Uncle Carl and Aunt Clara, who graciously gave us a place to sleep, fed us delicious food, and even let us do laundry. On Sunday (March 12th) we decided to take the dogs to the…
