Follow Along With the Adventures
Well it didn’t take long for us to set out across the country again. After being home for about 3 months, we decided to hit the road again. This time in the dead of winter, which definitely made for an “interesting” adventure.
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,…
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…
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…
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 two great weeks with my parents it was time to hit the road for our return trip home. Other than spending quality time together we didn’t do all that much, which was just fine with us. In the before times we definitely would have gone out to explore but the Covid situation isn’t so…
Not that we’re a big Valentine’s Day type of family, but in the before time I never would have imagined we would have spent V-day deep in a Georgian swamp, during a halfway decent rainstorm no less. Yet there we were. Our four day sprint out from California to Florida was a bit aggressive, so…
No two ways about it, today we experienced some of the most white knuckled driving we’ve done in the RV, maybe ever. As I’m typing this we’re pulled over safely at a RV park in Vinton, Louisiana, just east of the Texas border, well short of our goal for the day, which was San Antonio. …
Waking up at a frozen RV park in Vinton, we once again felt incredibly lucky to have made it in one piece, especially after once again going outside and seeing just how much ice there was, it was covering everything. It didn’t even bother us too much that our water pump had frozen solid overnight,…
As we expected, we got as far as San Antonio last night. It wasn’t that late when we pulled into the San Antonio KOA but we really wanted to be off the interstate before the temperature got below freezing. During the day the roads were in decent shape, everyone was pretty much driving the speed…
After a not so short 600 mile drive from San Antonio we arrived in Las Cruces, New Mexico at about 9pm local time. In the end, it took us 5 days to get through Texas. The weather was not kind. Our hearts go out to all those people that this recent storm impacted much much…
