It’s a Blow Out!

Kuma's camper has a flat

  I’m doing something different with my blog today. I’m going to incorporate as many song titles as I (aka mom) can think of. We’ll keep track, and you let me know what you come up with! Are you ready? I am, I said. Let’s go! We were on the road again heading north on […]

Mingus Mountain for Mother’s Day

Kuma and his mom camping

Did you know that every day is “love your pet” day at my house? Me and my brother Edmond are healthy, happy and downright spoiled! Our mom takes very good care of us, and one time a year, we get to tell her thanks. Whoever created the holiday Mother’s Day knew all moms work hard […]

Camping at Enchanted Rock in Texas

Enchanted Rock loop trail

             I can’t believe we have lived in Phoenix six years now. Wow – how time flies! Since moving here, we got a camper trailer. Mom loves having a frig with ice and a human bathroom. Dad appreciates not having to sleep on the ground, which we used to do. In fact, while living in […]

Kuma heads to Greer, Arizona

Kuma by Little Colorado River

I don’t like storms much, but mom and dad were sure glad when the monsoons finally arrived the other day. We got an inch of rain! The next day, we loaded up the camper and headed toward Greer, Arizona. We traveled once to Big Lake, and I remember it taking forever to get there, so […]

Boondocking Near Marshall Lake in Flagstaff

Kuma explores Marshall Lake

  What a weird year this has been! Between COVID-19 closures and my dad’s truck needing repairs, we haven’t gone camping yet – and it is mid-July! Crazy but that all changed this weekend. Dad’s truck is fixed, and he hooked up the camper so we could head north to cool off. Mom’s goal was […]

Kuma goes Backpacking on the Dunraven Trail in Colorado

Kuma goes camping

When mom got a very small duffle bag out, I wasn’t sure what it meant. I know what a big suitcase means – mom and dad are going someplace on an airplane without me. I know what the camper trailer means – a great adventure for me! I was confused until mom used the word […]

          If you have been following my adventures, you know me and my family got a camper a couple of years ago . lorrainebosse-smith.com/kuma-goes-first-camper-adventure/ We’ve been enjoying exploring and adventuring ever since!

Kuma camps at White Horse Lake

Kuma explore White Horse Lake

  When mom and dad grab food from the frig and stock the camper, I know we are heading on another adventure. With the temperatures in the triple digits here in Phoenix, heading north to cool off is always a good plan. This trip we were headed to White Horse Lake near Williams, Arizona. Dad […]

Kuma camps in the Superstition Mountains

Kuma overlooking Tortilla Fltas

  It’s that time of year when dad brings the house on wheels (aka camper) out. Where we go depends upon the weather. Right now, it is the in-between season or spring, and that means we can go places that get too hot in the summer. One such campground is Tortilla Flats in the Superstition […]
