Western Winter Blast - From their site

"President’s Day Weekend, annually. Since 1990 it has been held in Lake Havasu City; right on the beautiful Colorado River in Arizona. Like a PGI convention, we have seminars, trade shows, class C and pyrotechnic supply vending, open Class C and Class B shooting, BBQ's, afterglow parties, and much more. If you have never been to a Winter Blast, you don't know what you’re missing. WWB is the premier pyrotechnic event of the Winter Time. Now more than ever, people come to the Winter Blast from across the globe, and with good reason. Not only is it an exciting event, but the weather is warm and the sun is shining... (most of the time). Pyro enthusiasts who live in freezing and snowing areas are finding a summer pyro haven in the wintertime at the Western Winter Blast."

Ep 22 The 12 Days of Christmas Crossfit

As we travel sometimes we don't have a mountain to climb or a beach to walk and staying in shape during the holidays is important. This year we tried something new, CrossFit. As we travel we come across gyms all across the country offering the CrossFit style workout and it looked interesting. So we gave it two solid month and it has been a blast!!

On special occasions, CrossFit Gyms have special workouts and Christmas Eve is one of those days. The 12 Days of Christmas, Crossfit Style. No matter what skill level all you need to compete is effort. The coaches will scale the workout to challenge you and keep you moving. Aurora and I had a blast. It was a great gift to give ourselves on Christmas Eve, the gift of health.

Merry Christmas

A quick stop in Amarillo, TX isn't complete without a drive through Palo Duro Canyon, The Texas Grand Canyon. It was a beautiful day and we had an amazing time. We wished the History Of Texas was showing but sometimes things don't work out.

Another great week in the Black Hills of South Dakota!! RvAmericanDream is spending another week at Heartland Ranch Campground and the music is great. The Friday Nighters play every Friday during the summer season and it is always a good time. It is great to be around other people that love America and are proud to sing about it. Greg Johnson sings Proud to be an American with the Friday Nighters in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Aurora Around America Ep. 17

We spent some time in the Fort Myers / Punta Gorda area of Florida over the winter. Aurora wanted to try something new and we found a great beginners quilting class at the White Daisy Quilting Shop. It was a brand new business to the area and Cheryl was excited to take Aurora on as a student. I have posted a link to the Quilt shop and class Aurora took.

Aurora Around America Ep. 13

Life changes and we have been spending a longer time in the same place. With all of us busy during the day it is nice to find a quick get away for a couple of hours. Soco Falls and Waterrock Knob are two hikes within 30 minutes of our campground. Both are great for their own reasons.

Korjo Dream Color LED Strip Lights, 32'

We own a Coachman Apex 300BHS and we hated the solid blue LEDs that came factory installed. So we changed them. We found a set of KORJO Dream Color LED Strip Lights for about $50 on Amazon. This video will work for any 12v led light strip but we did like the Korjo 32' strip.
