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 […]

Kuma’s Rental RV Experience at the Maroon Bells in Colorado

Wild flowers blooming at Maroon Bells

          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! My family purchased our camper, but that wasn’t always the case. When we were living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, we planned […]

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 […]

Kuma celebrates his birthday at Sunset Crater in Flagstaff

Views of Lockette Meadow

           You’ve probably heard me say how my mom and I are like peas and carrots. Well, it is true! Our birthdays are even close together, and we can celebrate them together. Every year we go on some great adventure, and this time we opted to camp at the Sunset Crater in Flagstaff. Mom and […]

Kuma camps on top of Mingus Mountain

Kuma and his mom just hanging in a tree

I love my family! Just when I could hardly stand the heat any longer, my folks got the camper ready to go up to the mountains where it would be cooler. I did my adventure dance and said awoof. All the usual things were out (camelback, hiking shoes, my leash, food cooler, etc.), ready to […]

Kuma camps at Potato Patch near Prescott AZ

Great views of Sedona

As a dog, I don’t really understand calendars much. I go by the weather seasons, and we’ve been in the hot season here in Phoenix. Recently, we finally entered the hot and humid season, and I have a love/hate relationship with it. With the sticky weather comes drooling and dripping. I know—TMI (too much information)—but […]
