After driving 7,574 miles, visiting 14 states, and burning through who knows how many hundreds of gallons of dinosaur juice, we finally made it home! That last drive was definitely a doozy. It was by far our longest drive of the trip, coming in at slightly over 800 miles and taking about 12 hours. It’s…
Luck was with us last night as we drove into Jordanelle State Park just shy of midnight. The park was shut down for the night but they do allow late night campers like ourselves to drive in, pay, and find an open campsite. I’m not quite sure what would have happened if we didn’t find…
We can now add Moab to the growing list of pretty cool places we didn’t spend nearly enough time in. Our Moab experience consisted of pulling into the Spanish Trails RV Resort around midnight, waking up on the later side to have a leisurely breakfast, fixing our fresh water tank leak, and driving through downtown…
After our escapades in Texas it was nice to keep it simple and relatively unchallenging at our next stop. We decided to spend the night and part of the next day at Grants KOA right off the 40 Interstate. This was a no-frills location, but at least they had power! After pulling in and dealing…
After escaping the beautiful but cold Copper Breaks State Park we started to realize just how impactful this ice storm was. The first thing we wanted to do when we hit the road was fill up our propane tank. Unfortunately the nearest fuel company selling propane had just closed, but no biggie, we figured we’d…
I have no doubt that soon we’ll be pining away for those hot muggy conditions we were just complaining about. -Me, in the last post More prophetic words have rarely been written. The interwebs informed us that it would be cold when we’d get to Copper Breaks, and that it would most likely rain…
After spending nearly 3 weeks between Florida and Louisiana, we were definitely ready for some cooler weather, and that’s just what we got as we drove into Texas. We went from muggy mid-80s to downright refreshing high 50s. Our stop for the weekend was the Canton KOA, a newly remodeled RV resort in East Texas…
One day you’re taking conference calls in a comfy chair swing right on the bayou, the next day you’re taking those same calls on a wire chair in a RV parking lot in Shreveport, Louisiana. Such is life on the road in a RV adventure. This stop was just a quick overnighter on the way…
The only thing missing as we pulled into the “Cajun Retreat” (Prairiville, Louisiana) was Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Born on the Bayou blasting from the stereo (but I did make sure to play it in my mind). This was the first HipCamp stay for us on our cross country adventure, so we weren’t quite sure what…
One day you’re waking up mere feet from gulf waters on Florida’s Pan Handle, another day you’re waking up in a (nice) rest stop along the I-10. Such is life on the road. After a fairly long haul that saw us touch 4 states in one day (Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana), we found ourselves…
