How’s that for a non-clickbait title! Was it smart? Probably not. Was it safe? Meh. Was it grueling? You betcha! After another 1000+ mile day of driving the RV we finally made it to Venice, Florida. Despite another bout of crazy rain and wind at about 3am we pushed on since we were so close,…
After driving a grand total of 1,028 miles yesterday we pulled into a nice enough rest stop somewhere between Houston and Bauemont at about 2:30am local time. Like many things in Texas, Houston is big! It felt like we were driving through the city for about an hour, and that was with zero traffic. Yesterday…
Texas is big! Real big! We’ve been driving through the state for the past 650 miles, with about 225 more before we hit Louisiana. Considering how late it is now and how far we’ve already driven today, I don’t think we’ll make it out of the state tonight, but we’re trying to see just how…
The boys are still attending classes 100% remotely, our jobs are still work from home, we still aren’t doing much in the way of seeing friends in person (boo to that!), and there’s a fueled up, provisioned RV just sitting there all lonely like in our backyard. What does that all mean? You guessed it,…
I’m not sure how easy it would be to RV camp inside of Joshua Tree National Park in the best of times, but in our case it wasn’t an option at all due to the Covid related moratorium on overnight camping inside park borders. Boondocking in the middle of nowhere isn’t something we’ve done yet…
After a reasonable three hour drive from Dead Horse Ranch we pulled into Lost Dutchman State Park just after dark. Originally all we could reserve was a no hookups site but after calling the park we were able to change that to an electric/water site. The only catch was that we’d have to move sites…
With the kids on winter break and heavy restrictions in our area due to a major Covid case spike, it was time to hit the road again (in a responsible way that is). The major increases in Covid cases also meant that all state and national parks in California were closed to overnight camping. While…
After 2 nights and one full day at Uvas Canyon we left for El Capitan State Beach. With memories of our cross country trip still fresh in our minds, the roughly 4 hour drive down the 101 really didn’t feel like much. El Capitan State Beach is just north of Santa Barbara, with the campground…
After being home from our cross country trip for 3 weeks it was time to hit the road again, although this time it was going to be for a more local experience. This being Thanksgiving, the boys also had the entire week off from school. Between Covid related capacity restrictions and our own late planning…
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…
