Welcome to the photo blog for David and Janet Elmore. You can find pages full of photos from our trips with Vanessa or Savanna (our van-based RV) and pages that are a record of events with lots of photos. Many of our travel photos are connected to a map at the bottom of our posts so you can see where we went and can look for photos at specific places.

Below is a list of recent posts.

Box Canyon Road

Mon 19-Feb-2018 Arizona, California, Travel |

We pulled up stakes in the KOFA wilderness and headed to the town of Quartzite for some much needed housekeeping and then on to Blythe CA to shop for groceries — the closest full-service grocery. On a...

Crystal Hill Hike – Day 7

Sun 18-Feb-2018 Arizona, Travel |

Best weather of the week today, sunny and slightly breezy. However, as the day progressed, it became VERY windy. We set off in the morning to actually climb Crystal Hill. There is no designated path, just...

Twelve Mile Well

Fri 16-Feb-2018 Arizona, Travel |

We walked a bit out in the desert today. We wanted to check out Twelve Mile Well. The facility consists of an old windmill, probably not used any longer; a solar panel; a water storage tank; and an open...

Crystal Hill Area – Day 3

Thu 15-Feb-2018 Arizona, Travel |

It rained overnight, but was sunny when we got up. First order of the day was to walk out about 1/3 mile toward the Livingston Hills and take some overhead pictures. Then after a quick lunch, we decided we...

Crystal Hill Area – Day 2

Wed 14-Feb-2018 Travel |

Another cool, gray, cloudy, and sometimes rainy day in the desert. We spent the morning reading while the air warmed up. Then David sent up his quad copter for a look around. Later between rain sprinkles we...

Crystal Hill Area – KOFA Wildlife Refuge

Tue 13-Feb-2018 Arizona, Travel |

Leaving Yuma, heading north on route 95 we passed through gorgeous fields of lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, and more. All watered by canals from the Imperial dam. Soon the beauty stops and suddenly we are in...

Yuma, AZ

Sun 11-Feb-2018 Arizona, Travel |

The drive from Tucson to Yuma is about 4-hours through mostly barren desert as the Saguaros started to dwindle. From time to time there are interesting mountain ranges and a few noteable areas — The Sonoran...

Tucson Botanical Gardens

Thu 8-Feb-2018 Arizona, Travel |

Our quick trip into Tucson for Sprinter service turned into two days when they had to get parts shipped in. Rather than waiting at the dealership, we had the courtesy car take us 3 miles down the road to the...

El Paso TX to Benson AZ

Mon 5-Feb-2018 Arizona, Texas, Travel |

We turned a four hour drive into one nearly twice as long. Rather than take I-10 from El Paso to Benson we chose to follow Route 9 and then 80 through New Mexico and into Arizona. This route took us along the...

El Paso

Sun 4-Feb-2018 Texas, Travel |

We moved to El Paso to do a little housekeeping — laundry at the Supreme laundromat and shopping for Super Bowl snacks at the Vista Central Market. Finally we have warm weather. I’ll probably be sorry I...
