This was our first ever cross country trip and one of our first RV trips in general. This trip occurred in the Summer and Fall of 2020.
And a little bit of context as to why this blog exists Much to my surprise, we bought an RV. Keep in mind that this is coming from someone who has been researching* RVs off and on for several years, and even planned ahead for this highly unlikely event (at least that was my thinking…
After what seemed like months of planning and preparation (in reality it was just one month) embarkation day had finally arrived. Of course we ended up leaving three hours later then we planned, such is life. For our first overnight stay on our big trip we decided to cancel our reservation at the KOA in…
After one of the longer stretches of driving on our itinerary we pulled into Trailer Park Village, located within the borders of the national park itself. It was well after dark when we arrived but this was scheduled as a two night stop for us so we’d have the full next day to explore. Our…
Even after arriving directly from the Grand Canyon, the scenery in and around Lake Powell was amazing in it’s own unique way. Unfortunately even though this was also a two night stop for us, it fell during the week so we didn’t have much of an opportunity to explore the surrounding area. Due to Covid…
While it would have been nice to stay a bit longer, this was mostly a quick overnight stop over. We rolled into the Riverwood RV Resort at about 10pm local time and we were scheduled to leave about 3pm, after the boys were done with school and Lana and I were done with meetings. Riverwood…
I’m typing this up three hours after we’ve left Trinidad Lake State park after staying there for two night. It’s hard to believe but we’ve now been on the road for over a week. Between driving, work, school, setting up/breaking down the RV, and enjoying the locations we’re finding ourselves in – time is really…
After rolling in to Amarillo at 2am local time we evaluated our planned overnight stop, Loves gas station*, but they didn’t seem to have any good RV spots and we didn’t want to compete with the truckers for their spots. Fortunately the TA Travel Center across the street had flat and plentiful parking for RVs…
I’m typing this up as we’re heading east on the 40, leaving Oklahoma for Arkansas. The 49ers game is on in the background with Lana behind the wheel. I probably would have had a longer turn driving but after a particularly impressive play in the game, the boys said to me “you should have seen…
Our stay at the AUX Arc campground right on the Arkansas River was very pleasant. Lana managed to reserve a spacious campsite about 30 feet away from the river. We spent two nights there which cost us a total of $36, this included electric and water hookups. I can’t help but think that a site…
Hard to believe that it’s already been two weeks since we hit the road. Even though each stop is memorable in it’s own way, things are starting to blend together. It feels like we’ve been traveling half as long as we have, but that it’s been ages since we stopped at the Grand Canyon. It’s…
