For those not hip to RVing lingo, boondocking is a term for free camping usually in the boondocks somewhere. We have yet to boondock on this trip but have been doing plenty of moochdocking, staying in friends and family’s driveway and mooching off their electricity, internet, water, etc. After regaining my ankle mobility at my […]

Summer Solstice
We had high hopes for making the most of the longest day of the year and things went mostly to plan. The weather finally improved to a nice Central Oregon mid 70’s. I blew up our paddle boards and we took a cruise up the Little Deschutes River. There was enough of a current to […]
Summer in Oregon Starts July 5th
My Dad maybe not so jokingly likes to say that summer in Oregon starts July 5th. This week that seems the case. I drove up the Cascades Lakes Scenic Byway yesterday to take some pictures and summer definitely looks far off.
Bend Sunriver RV Resort
We successfully navigated to our first stop just South of Sunriver at the Thousand Trails Bend Sunriver RV Resort. It’s a pretty nice campground with access to the little Deschutes river. A drastic change in the weather has put a damper on our paddle board plans for now. Jaime’s parents (Texas contingency) have joined us […]
Adventures Ahead
Monday we finally leave the parents driveway and head out for the unknown or Sunriver (whichever comes first). We sold our last thing from California, our beloved Land Cruiser and bought a 2014 Jeep Wrangler that was already setup for RV towing. My parents posed for a ceremonial passing of the keys before heading out […]
Orygone!
We are in Oregon, getting the Winnebago ready to hit the road. We realize we haven’t updated the blog in a while but trust us, we are working hard. If you are reading the blog, please leave a comment and say Hi. We love to hear from family, friends and visitors to the site. Cheers!
Hiking in Palm Springs, California
Palm Springs is more than just pools, golfing and mid-century architecture. It’s also a great place for outdoor activities like hiking. When I first visited Palm Springs from Oregon, I went to the visitor’s center to get some hiking information. They suggested I go to the admission only Indian Canyons and avoid private property around […]
The Last Tango
Our plan was to move into The Tango, spend a few nights shake down / test camp at the Thousand Trails Palm Springs since we haven’t actually used the camper since February 2011, then to Hope, AZ with the parents (and to visit the Winnebago!) for a bit, Sedona for a couple nights and then a week […]
SALE! SALE! SALE!
Now that yesterday was my official last day of work I start my next full time job of running the craziest store you have ever seen. Need a leaf blower? Maybe a lightly used Hobie stand up paddle board is more your speed? My hardly worn SCUBA drysuit would look awesome on you as you […]
The next adventure
Note: see our new trailer blog http://3totango.wordpress.com for current updates. Last summer as chronicled here at the sichblog we sailed with Jaime’s Dad Capt. Jim from Guatemala to Isla Mujeres, Mexico and then traveled by bus around Mexico and Guatemala. We had discussed getting a trailer at some point and visiting some of the National Parks in […]
