Getting Close To Ship Rock

In about 2011 Willow and I with a friend and her dog took an RV trip around the Southwestern US. One of the stops we wanted to make was the Carlsbad Caverns and so we headed into New Mexico. When we first entered the state on our trip towards the Southeast corner where the caverns …

Bear Canyon Lake

Once we had decided that we were going to spend some time exploring New Mexico one of the first sights we wanted to experience were the Gila Cave Dwellings above Silver City. We started in that direction which didn’t look too far and so we make a few leisurely stops along the way including Fort …

New Logo On The Tacoma

Now that we have our new logo just using it on the website is not enough. Our old, simple advertising on the Tacoma was just our amateurish showing of the plain URL in an interesting font on the rear window of the camper shell. Since certain people have a design sensibility I value I quickly …

Birth Of A Logo

As of November 2016 we’ve been “doing” Adventures With Dog for a whole year now. For that first year we wanted to focus more on getting some content up and adding to our collection of adventures and less about marketing the site. To that end all I had was a vinyl sticker of our URL …

The Northern Side Of The Gorge

Heading back down from our Washington adventures we wanted to stay in the Columbia River Gorge area again. The campsite we had stayed in the last time we were here a month before was closed for the season and so we decided to look for a spot on the Washington side of the Gorge. From …

Above Indian Henry

We were in the Portland area and waiting for some friends to become available for a visit. It was about to be the Labor Day Holiday and they had house guests already so we didn’t want to impose. We let them know we would be happy to hang out in the Mt. Hood National Forest …

Burma Pond

While traipsing about Oregon we had some business to attend to in Grants Pass and decided to spend some time exploring the area. In this instance we chose to see what our friends at Freecampsites.net had to offer, found a place called Burma Pond in their listings that sounded interesting and headed that way. It …

Mt. Rainier National Park

While we were up along the Northern edge of Oregon we decided to continue on up into Washington State. We knew we wanted to see Mount Rainier for sure but first, being a bit of a Tacoma fanboy, I decided to get a picture of our Tacoma in front of her namesake which I thought …

Coconino National Forest

The Coconino National Forest is over 1.8 Million acres in size and we were obviously only able to explore several tiny portions of it. Like our time in the Stanislaus National Forest and Death Valley we did far too many things to put in just one post so this is our main Coconino National Forest …

Along The Mogollon Rim

After our time in Death Valley we wanted a change of pace, scenery and temperature and so headed to the Eastern side of Arizona towards the Mogollon Rim. I read an article at Expedition Portal about a trip to the Rim and decided that next time we had the opportunity and were in that area …
