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.

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 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...
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...
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 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...
