Rocky Point at Eagle Lake

Leigh — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:52:40 +0000

The Rocky Point campground at Eagle Lake in California, might be one of the most beautiful boondocking spots we’ve stayed at. Saturday, when we first arrived we didn’t go too far down the road, even after unhitching, because it seemed a little too bumpy and we had read there wasn’t anywhere to turn around. The [...]

5 Year Anniversary

Leigh — Sun, 19 May 2013 16:50:26 +0000

Five years ago today, we eloped in Telluride Colorado. In the state of Colorado, you don’t need an officiant. So May 19, 2008 we went to the courthouse and paid $10 for a marriage license and then went on a hike near Bridal Veil Falls looking for the perfect spot to make proclamations and have [...]

This is Not Glamping!

Leigh — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:25:03 +0000

Yesterday I went on Facebook and shared our troubles. For those who didn’t see it, I’ll bring you up to speed. The flusher on our toilet broke and the ball that covers the hole to the black tank is stuck in the open position. Yuck. We called Airstream, who referred us to a Dometic authorized [...]

Sick Days

Leigh — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:06:28 +0000

Someone once told me if we didn’t post to the blog, they thought we were off having a crazy good time. In the case of yesterday, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. We’ve been sick. I had been sick twice in the last 2 weeks. Brian didn’t get it until earlier this week, and [...]

Airstream Bunkhouse

Leigh — Mon, 13 May 2013 16:01:10 +0000

This weekend, we drove by a parking lot full of brand new Airstreams, so of course we had to turn around and check them out. We’ve been talking about checking out the 30 foot bunkhouse, to see if the bunk space could be converted into an office. Now that we’ve been in it, I think [...]

Laundermutt

Leigh — Sun, 12 May 2013 14:57:11 +0000

It’s been a little too long since Curtie’s last bath. We debated doing it while we were in LA, but knew he’d soon be rolling around in the dirt so we put it off. Well this dirty dog really needed a bath, and since we’re on pavement this week, we thought we’d take advantage of [...]

Atlantis Poker Room

Leigh — Sat, 11 May 2013 15:51:28 +0000

Last night we played a tiny little tournament at the Atlantis Poker Room. There were only 22 players, Brian and I both made the final table which is not much of an accomplishment considering the field size. Then we both busted out before the money. Had we known the tournament was going to be so [...]

Grand Sierra Resort RV Park

Leigh — Fri, 10 May 2013 15:11:29 +0000

Last night we drove to Reno. I couldn’t find good boondocking with cell service in the area, and we saw that there were some good poker tournaments this weekend in Reno so we decided to spend the next week in an actual RV Park. I was instantly cranky when I saw our spot. I was [...]

Bye Bye Bishop

Pictured above is our last night with the gang in Bishop. Today after work we’re moving on because this campground closes for the season tomorrow at 10am and we can’t move during the work day. Yesterday we met the gang for lunch at the Bishop Burger Barn. For those who read the Mali Mish blog, [...]
