Follow Along With the Adventures
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.
This was our third and final stop in Arkansas, right on the Mississippi River in West Memphis. Directly across the river is Tennessee, which is the next state we’ll be visiting. We pulled in around 10pm, setup the RV, and promptly made some trout tacos with the last two trout we caught in the White…
Our first stop in Tennessee was a welcome change from the types of places we’ve previously been visiting, not that we haven’t been enjoying ourselves at all the other stops too, but this one felt like some much appreciated normally in an otherwise all-new itinerary. Not that we’d ever been to Franklin before, but we…
As I’m typing this post from our campsite in Notchy Creek, we’ve now hit the 3 week mark in our cross country adventure. We’ve also finally crossed over into the Eastern Time Zone. This is most likely going to be our last real camping experience (as far as RVing can be considered a “real camping…
I’m typing this up as we’re making our final “sprint” down to South Florida. Originally we were planning on boondocking at a gas station by the Georgia/Florida border but at this point we’re pushing on. Going straight to Sunny Isles would put us there about 3am and we’re not sure how wise that long of…
If we felt like we needed a goal, or some other purpose for our trip, this was it. My parents moved from California to Sunny Isles Beach about 10 years ago and since then we’ve tried to see each other at least twice a year. Usually they’d fly out around Thanksgiving and we’d fly out…
After a relaxing and stationary (nearly) two weeks in Sunny Isles Beach we decided to ease back into RV life with a relatively nearby (only 3.5 hours away) two night stay at the Royal Coachman RV Resort in Nokomis, on the West Coast of Florida. This stop was also near Venice, which is where my…
We had a quick but nice overnight stay at Presnell’s RV Park and Marina in Port St. Joe. Perhaps the best $10 we’ve spent on this trip was to upgrade our spot to waterfront. Somehow we got lucky, with no prior planning we managed to pull into our spot, which was feet away from the…
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…
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 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…
