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.

Day 2: We walked the mile or so up the road to the canyon and hiked up most of the canyon to the California Palms. These few palms, maybe a dozen or so, are the last remaining in this region which was, in a...
Palm Canyon is one of our favorite desert locations. It is 7 miles down a side road (dirt) from Route 95, north of Yuma. Dispersed camping is permitted off the road. We plan to stay here for a few days....

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is one of our favorite national monuments. If nothing else, the weather is great: warm and breezy. We decide to once again drive the ~20 mile Ajo MountainDrive — a...
We left Catalina State Park and headed west and then south through the Tohono O’Odham Nation Reservation. The drive takes one through lots of cactus — saguaro — and plenty of scrubby,...
Just a few miles south of the Catalina State Park is a lovely loopwalk up into the mountains. The views back over the Oro Valley were outstanding and the cacti were lush. I hope the people of Tucson realize...
We are back in Saguaro Cactus Country. They are such magnificent plants. After a stop at the post office, we had a short drive to Catalina State Park. This is a very popular park and seemed very much so when...
