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 […]

Kuma heads to the South Rim at the Grand Canyon

Great view of the Grand Canyon

This summer is proving to be a hot one here in Phoenix. Temps rose earlier than normal, and we’ve had some record-breaking heat already. My parents decided that we should head up north to cool off. I’m always game for an adventure, especially when the camper is involved. This time when my mom and dad […]

Kuma camps in February at the Tortilla Flats Campground

Kuma and his family drive the Apache Trail

  I couldn’t believe my eyes the other day. My folks had the camper out. I mean, it is February after all, and that means winter for lots of folks. Not here in Arizona apparently, and I was totally game for an adventure of the camping kind! Woof. We drove to South Phoenix on the […]

Kuma camps and hikes around Happy Jack, AZ

Kuma pauses to take in the view

Oh how I love fall! First of all, my birthday is late September, and secondly, I love the cooler temps! Woof! My folks said we were heading up to Happy Jack to camp before it closed for the season. I don’t know this Jack fellow, but I’m always game to meet new folks, especially happy […]

Kuma walks among the Chiricahua Indians

Kuma bounds through the wildflowers on the trail

When my mom grabbed her small travel bag, I knew we were going on another adventure. Good thing, too, as it was going to be extremely hot here at home. My folks loaded up our home on wheels (they call it a camper), and off we went! We normally go north, but this time we […]
