DESERTS-TREES-SUVS
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 →
Mr. McGee has been working a lot of overtime since the pandemic has kept us from being able to travel. The down side (other than our lack of time together) is that it gives me way too much free time on my hands and the reason I finished another necklace this week. Pretty soon I'll...

I think just about everybody over the age of 50 will relate to what I'm about to say at some point or another. You know how in your mind you still crave adventure like you're in your 20's? 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 →
I finished another beaded necklace this week while waiting for the rocket to launch. You can see all of my completed projects by clicking HERE.
What a day this has been! We left the place of my childhood dreams and headed north. The clouds were building and it looked like we were in for a wet night. In all we drove 381 miles from Kincaid Campground with a stop in Waco before finally camping at Lake Whitney State Park. We... Continue Reading →

When I was a little girl I wanted to become a paleontologist - a real life down on bad knees, aching back, dirt under your nails, leather-skinned paleontologist. But life happens; college is expensive; I realized it probably wasn't a practical dream and I went into business management where I could receive free on the... Continue Reading →
You know that old saying about Texas... Things are bigger... And better!
We said goodbye to Falling Waters State Park and started driving west. Our plan was to make good time by driving the interstates as we headed to the Kisatchie National Forest and the Kincaid Recreation Area where we planned to stay for the night, but road construction, distracted drivers and more than our fair share...

Day one - Falling Waters State Park Our first adventure began with a little change in scenery. We left the space coast and headed toward the northwest corner of the state where we stopped at Falling Waters State Park to camp for the night. After driving for almost 8 hours, and crossing one time zone,... Continue Reading →
We're the McGees. In 2018, finding ourselves empty nesters, we took our first real vacation. We loaded the SUV with a mattress & pillows, our camera, dehydrated food, water, and a few camping essentials then headed west from Florida. That trip changed our lives forever. It was the first time Mrs. McGee saw the desert... Continue Reading →
