DESERTS-TREES-SUVS
When looking for places to camp and things to do in the Carlsbad area I stumbled upon this day use area called Sitting Bull Falls. The idea of a spring fed waterfall in the middle of a desert was more than intriguing enough to get it added to our list of day trips. Inhabited since... Continue Reading →
You have just got to love the Desert. If ever there were a place in this world where you can learn to be alone with your thoughts and mindful of your surroundings it's in a place like this. It's no wonder that the Native American ancestors sought out these big skies and open plains. I... Continue Reading →
I am so ROAMSICK! The desert is calling and I'm stuck here killing time making necklaces. If it's not the coronavirus causing a lockdown it's some other crisis beyond our control. Life is so unpredictable! Now for some bad news. I have an update on the trip planning front. It looks like we may have... Continue Reading →
Do you recognize this place? It's another angle of view from the campsite in our header and our first free camping experience. After our busy day at Living Desert Zoo and Carlsbad Caverns we were ready to settle in and relax for the night. We heard there was camping available at the National Park and... Continue Reading →

And because of this you don't always consider the ramifications of doing certain physical activities? Well, maybe... Continue Reading →
I have a confession to make. Before our trip I'd only seen the desert from 35,000 feet. From that altitude it looked pretty beige, unappealing, and lifeless. When Mr. McGee suggested going to the desert for our spring vacation I agreed (at first) because I love him and not because it was anywhere near the... Continue Reading →
I've tried to be productive and utilize this time at home to improve my beadwork skills. This week I finished another #Beadednecklace. The earrings to match are still in the works. I made a small error in this one that more experienced beadcrafters will probably notice. Which brings me to the point of this post.... Continue Reading →
Maybe it was the impression that TV shows like The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams had on our emotional development growing up, but it seems that when we spend enough time living among the animals they begin to feel like family. We really enjoy watching their daily routines and how they interact with one... Continue Reading →
