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…
Category: Our First Cross Country Trip
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.
Stop 21 – Copper Breaks State Park, Texas – Ice Ice Baby!
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…
Stop 22 – Amarillo Walmart – Any Port in a Storm

Stop 24 – Moab and Arches National Park, Utah

Stop 25 – Jordanelle State Park, Utah
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…
Back Home – We Made It!
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…
