It was nice waking up knowing we wouldn’t be driving hundreds of miles in the RV (or any miles really). This was going to be my last full day with Lana before she flew home and I was a bit sad that I wouldn’t see her for the next week, but I was also excited…
End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 6 – Driving Through Idaho and South Western Montana
Have I mentioned my dislike of overnighting at Love’s? I guess you get what you pay for when it comes to free truck stop parking options. At least it felt safe, if not quiet. Did you know that refrigerated semi trucks need to run their engines all night to keep their load cold? Now I…
End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 5 – Hoodoo if Yoodoo at Bryce Canyon
After a fun couple of days in Springdale it was time to hit the road again. This was going to be a big drive day, seeing us try to go from southern Utah all the way to Idaho, but we wanted to make a not so quick detour to Bryce Canyon National Park along the…
End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 4 – The Red Walls of Zion
Waking up on this day, Lana and I have been married for 19 wonderful years! Happy anniversary my dear! The plan for the day was to meet up with Jeanette and Stu for breakfast at the RV, then head into Zion National Park to enjoy a couple of the main hikes the park has to…
End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 3 – Area 51 and the Nevada Desert
Our target after leaving Yosemite’s East Gate was a Love’s gas station in Tonopah, Nevada. That’s right, we dream big over here in the Keyser RV! Based on a whopping two Google reviews, this particular Love’s seemed like an above average truck stop gas station to spend the night. It also seemed like a reasonable…
End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 2 – Yosemite!
Neither Lana and I had been to Yosemite since we were teenagers, and it’s been on our list of places to visit for quite a while, so it was exciting that we could finally make that happen. Unfortunately it was only going to be for a day, and also without the kids. This just gives…
End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 1 – Lake McClure
The blog is back! And yes, it is definitely due to popular demand. The fans have spoken, and we have finally listened. I’m sure you all have so many questions like: Why did you stop blogging? Did you also stop RVing too? Is it because you stopped paying for WordPress hosting? Did your many fans…

Summer 2021 Western Trip – 12 – Final Stop, Lake Siskiyou
Lake Siskiyou was to be our last stop before heading back home. We tent camped at the Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort years ago, but this time we were coming back in style. We were originally scheduled to spend three nights at Lake Siskiyou but in typical fashion for us, since we were so close to…
Summer 2021 Western Trip – 11.5 – Crater Lake
As soon as we started planning our summer trip, my one requirement was that we stop at Crater Lake National Park. It’s been towards the top of my list of places to see for a long long time, even ahead of Yellowstone. When we finally figured out our actual trip itinerary, at first I was…
