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.

Organ Pipe Cactus

Wed 4-Feb-2015 Arizona, Travel |

The second is the Ajo Mountain loop (21 miles) and takes you through the desert to two great hikes up into the mountains.  We  chose the Bull Pasture – Estes Canyon (3.5 mile) hike.  The...

Ajo AZ

Tue 3-Feb-2015 Arizona, Travel |

US 85 is a busy route that is a short cut from I-10 to I-8.  South of Gila Bend and I-8 it is much less busy.  The first part of the trip south was through very flat, scrubby desert.  Nothing...

Buckeye AZ

Mon 2-Feb-2015 Arizona, Travel |

Not a very exciting day.  We got a late start from the LTVA, walked a bit in the desert off I-10 in an area with a really interesting desert floor with lots of undisturbed rocks with varnish, talked with...

Tyson Wash LTVA

Sun 1-Feb-2015 Arizona, Travel |

Palm Canyon

Thu 29-Jan-2015 Arizona, Travel |

On the way out of the South Mesa LTVA we stopped at the RV dump and trash facility.  Of course with all the RVs parked in the desert it is a necessity, but it was amazing to see a 4–station RV...

South Mesa Hike

Wed 28-Jan-2015 California, Travel |

We wandered around in the desert to the west of our RV, wandered for 4.7 miles.  From our campsite the desert looks fairly flat between here and the mountains about two miles away.  But when you...

South Mesa: Imperial Dam LTVA, CA

Tue 27-Jan-2015 California, Travel |

Our morning started with a drive through the cauliflower and cabbage fields:  Harvesting must have started before dawn.  We were returning to Yuma to find a laundry and pick up some fresh...

West to Yuma

Mon 26-Jan-2015 Arizona, Travel |

The drive from Gila Bend to Yuma is through rather desolate territory — more flat land with jagged rocky mountains sticking up through it.  The only real difference today was that it was...
