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.

Desert Diamond Casino

Fri 3-Feb-2017 Arizona, Travel |

Many of the casinos allow dry camping in their parking lots.  It is often free.  At this casino, we found out later, we were supposed to first check in with the desk and then spend the night.  We did not, but...

Kartchner Caverns SP

Thu 2-Feb-2017 Arizona, Travel |

We returned to Kartchner Caverns SP because it is lovely, they have campwide Wi-Fi that David needed for some work, and we needed a physical address to receive our new credit cards — our old one had...

Parker Canyon Lake

Sun 29-Jan-2017 Arizona, Travel |

Lakeview CG is a two-hour drive west and south of the Whitewater Draw, near the Mexico border. The drive starts out through shrubby, grassy flat land with mountains in the distance. At Sonoita we started...

WhiteWater Draw II

Sat 28-Jan-2017 Arizona, Travel |

We spent the night (free) at the WhiteWater site so that we could get up to watch the birds leaving again in the morning. It was 18-degrees in the morning and the birds were standing on ice or in water with...

Whitewater Draw I

Fri 27-Jan-2017 Arizona, Travel |

Our friend Katherine suggested we might want to visit Whitewater Draw where thousands of Sandhill Cranes spend the winter. We did and found it fascinating and amazing. We arrived about 11:00 in the morning...

Kartchner Caverns Trails

Thu 26-Jan-2017 Arizona, Travel |

We arrived in Arizona and decided to stay at Kartchner Caverns State Park. We were hoping for warmer weather — not. We stayed here last year and enjoyed one of the cave tours. Great cave and the tour is...

Franklin Mountains State Park

Tue 24-Jan-2017 Texas, Travel |

Franklin Mountains State Park is just a half hour drive from the city of El Paso, but is a world away.  The park is rugged and virtually deserted on a cool winter day.  The trails take you up into the...

El Paso

Sun 22-Jan-2017 Texas, Travel |

El Paso is just a short drive from Hueco Tanks.  We closed up camp and headed in with plans for a housekeeping day.  We had close to 2-weeks of laundry and a relatively empty refrigerator.  The Supreme...

Hueco Tanks State Park

Thu 19-Jan-2017 Texas, Travel |

Hueco Tanks State Park, located a short drive to the east of El Paso, is basically a big pile of rocks. But it is a mecca for rock climbers, primarily those who prefer boulder problems. They have a small...

Monahans to Hueco Tanks

Wed 18-Jan-2017 Texas, Travel |

A lot more driving today. It takes a while to get out of Texas. We left the interstate near Pecos and headed north and west. The roads are a bit rough and full of trucks servicing all of the oil wells and...
