Off the Beaten Path in Arizona can mean experiencing a number of National Parks and Monuments.

Every seasoned traveler is suddenly all ears when they hear the phrase, “Don’t miss this.” This particular phrase usually comes out of the mouth of someone who has been in the area as a traveler or a resident and has specific info to share. It’s human nature. If someone enjoys a moment or an experience or a location, they want to share that memory. For some this means that they’ll post a Facebook status about how much they liked it. Others will conduct a photo shoot and slather the Internet with their experience through numerous photo hosting galleries, Instagram, Pinterest and other various photo-based social media sites. A different type of photographer may create a small photo album of photos for their own use. Many travelers will end up recording the experience in writing through blogging or traditional journaling. Regardless of the method of memory recording, there’s one thing that holds true for approximately 99% of the public and that is that they will share their experience vocally. Thus the universal awareness of what is to come when a fellow traveler starts off with, “Don’t miss this!”

Previous articles in the series discussed how to keep your RV and the items stored inside the vehicle organized. Organized RVs allow travelers to maximize the “home on the road” potential of the recreational vehicle.
