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 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...
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...
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...
