The Brinkley Z3400 called Lyman Lake home for a stretch, and it did not disappoint. Sitting at 6,000 feet and fed by snowmelt off Mount Baldy and Escudilla Mountain, this 1,500-acre reservoir is one of Arizona's best-kept secrets. We kayaked, explored ancient Anasazi petroglyphs right on the shoreline, and watched full rainbows arc over the water from under the awning. Loving Life Having Fun at one of Arizona's most underrated state parks.

Back in 1885, Thomas Jefferson Adair moved into this valley with big farming dreams. The locals laughed and said only a fool would try to farm this place — and the name stuck. The town of Adair is long gone, swallowed by the lake, but the Brinkley Z3400 showed up to do what Adair could not: have an absolutely great time here. Kayaking, wildlife, a craft brewery, and some of the most dramatic skies in Arizona. Loving Life Having Fun in Fool Hollow.

Holbrook sits at the crossroads of Route 66 and the Petrified Forest, and the Brinkley Z3400 made it a proper base camp. The Wigwam Motel is right there on the old highway — concrete teepees you can actually sleep in, a yard full of vintage cars, and a neon sign that's been glowing since 1950. Add the International Petrified Wood Park in the town square, where the benches and borders are made from actual petrified logs, and you've got a town that earns a stop on its own merits. Loving Life Having Fun on the Mother Road with the Brinkley Z3400.

New Year's in Sonoita with the Brinkley Z3400 parked at Sleeping Dog Ranch — and we made the absolute most of it. Bisbee, Naco on both sides of the border, Flying Leap Vineyards, the Gay 90s Bar (est. 1931), the Lavender Pit, abandoned buildings, pink cosmos in Mexico, and more bar walls covered in memorabilia than we could count. The Sonoita grasslands are stunning, the people are characters, and Loving Life Having Fun never felt more like a lifestyle than it did that New Year's week.

If you know, you know. Quartzsite in January is one of the great RV gatherings on the planet — thousands of rigs spread across the desert flats, a community potluck that stretches as far as you can see, a rock labyrinth where the dogs ran wild, and sunsets that make you forget you're parked in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. The Brinkley Z3400 fit right in. Loving Life Having Fun at the Big Tent.

Page, Arizona is where the Brinkley Z3400 parked at Roam America and we spent days just exploring everything within reach — and there is a lot within reach. Antelope Canyon, Canyon X, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, red rock formations with a dusting of snow, and dogs running free across the red sand. This is the gateway to the most jaw-dropping slot canyon country in the Southwest, and we were Loving Life Having Fun every single day of it.

Lower Antelope Canyon is the more adventurous sibling — steep staircases, tight passages, and a walk right through the canyon floor rather than above it. The light play is otherworldly: orange, salmon, purple, and gold shifting across the sculpted Navajo sandstone walls as you move through. It is a more challenging tour than Upper, and absolutely worth every step. The Brinkley Z3400 was parked at Roam America while we explored this Navajo Nation treasure, Loving Life Having Fun underground.

Canyon X is the one the crowds haven't found yet — a Navajo-guided slot canyon on the same land as Antelope Canyon but with a fraction of the foot traffic and just as much drama. The curving passageways, the light falling through the sand, the colors shifting from cream to terracotta to deep purple as you move through — it is genuinely stunning. The Brinkley Z3400 was parked at Roam America while we explored every inch of it. Loving Life Having Fun in one of the Southwest's best-kept secrets.

Upper Antelope Canyon is the one that made slot canyons famous — and standing inside it, you understand exactly why. Monsoon floodwaters carved these flowing Navajo Sandstone walls over thousands of years, and the light that pours through the narrow opening above shifts from orange to gold to electric blue depending on where you stand. The Brinkley Z3400 was parked at Roam America while we walked every inch of this Navajo Nation treasure. Loving Life Having Fun underground in one of the most photographed places on earth.

Horseshoe Bend is one of those places where the photo doesn't prepare you for the real thing. You hike out to the overlook, peer over the edge, and the Colorado River is just sitting there 1,000 feet below, wrapping perfectly around a sandstone peninsula like it's been doing this for a million years — because it has. The Brinkley Z3400 was parked at Roam America while we hit it at golden hour and watched the canyon walls light up. Loving Life Having Fun on the edge of Glen Canyon.

LOVING LIFE HAVING FUN at one of the most otherworldly places in the American Southwest — and the Brinkley Z3400 was parked just outside the gate while we walked through 225 million years of history. Petrified Forest National Park sits in northeastern Arizona, and it is exactly what it sounds like: an entire ancient forest turned to stone. The logs lying across the desert floor aren't wood anymore — they're solid quartz crystal, mineralized over millions of years until the grain and the rings and the bark texture are all still there, just frozen in color. Reds, purples, yellows, and deep blues run through every log like a painting. Then you drive north and the landscape shifts into the Painted Desert — badlands striped in every shade of lavender, pink, rust, and cream, rolling out to the horizon like something that shouldn't exist. No crowds, no noise, just the wind and the color and the kind of scenery that makes you stop the truck and just stand there. We were LOVING LIFE HAVING FUN and the Brinkley Z3400 had a front-row seat to all of it.

LOVING LIFE HAVING FUN in Ehrenberg Az — Victron Install. In 1863, German mining engineer Herman Ehrenberg was hired to survey a new townsite along the Colorado River, approximately 6 miles from La Paz, Arizona. The town, named Mineral City, began to grow in 1866 after a new landing was established there, supported by the steamboat captains of the George A. Johnson Company. Mineral City attracted miners and many businessmen away from La Paz. The Brinkley Z3400 parked right on the Colorado River at Pirates Den — palms, sunsets, and the dogs at the water's edge every morning.

LOVING LIFE HAVING FUN in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. The Mogollon Monster is a legendary cryptid said to inhabit the Mogollon Rim region of Arizona. It's often described as an ape-like, hairy creature, similar to Bigfoot, and is believed to be nocturnal, territorial, and sometimes aggressive. Over 29 years of camping with friends and family on many different Forest Roads along the rim.

LOVING LIFE HAVING FUN at Canyon de Chelly (pronounced "d'SHAY") — a stunning and sacred site located in Apache County, Arizona. Unlike most national monuments, it lies entirely within the Navajo Nation, and much of the land is still inhabited and used by Navajo families. The monument is jointly managed by the National Park Service and the Navajo Nation. Nazlini is a small, rural Navajo community located in a remote high desert region — the name comes from the Navajo word meaning "flowing in a crescent shape."

LOVING LIFE HAVING FUN off Interstate 10 at Exit 322 — about 17 miles east of Benson. Bowlin's The Thing Travel Center is more than just a rest stop. It's a multi-faceted roadside destination combining fuel, food, a gift shop, and a genuinely odd museum experience. Travelers are lured in by hundreds of bold yellow-and-blue billboards stretching across hundreds of miles, urging passersby to ask: "What is The Thing?" And yes — it's dog friendly. Brinkley Z3400 approved.
