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 20 – Hog Wild in Canton, Texas

Posted on October 25, 2020December 3, 2020 by Alex

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…

Stop 21 – Copper Breaks State Park, Texas – Ice Ice Baby!

Posted on October 30, 2020March 3, 2021 by Alex

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

Posted on October 30, 2020December 3, 2020 by Alex

After escaping the beautiful but cold Copper Breaks State Park we started to realize just how impactful this ice storm was.  The first thing we wanted to do when we hit the road was fill up our propane tank.  Unfortunately the nearest fuel company selling propane had just closed, but no biggie, we figured we’d…

Stop 23 – Grants, New Mexico 

Posted on October 30, 2020December 3, 2020 by Alex

After our escapades in Texas it was nice to keep it simple and relatively unchallenging at our next stop.  We decided to spend the night and part of the next day at Grants KOA right off the 40 Interstate. This was a no-frills location, but at least they had power!  After pulling in and dealing…

Stop 24 – Moab and Arches National Park, Utah

Posted on November 1, 2020March 3, 2021 by Alex

We can now add Moab to the growing list of pretty cool places we didn’t spend nearly enough time in.  Our Moab experience consisted of pulling into the Spanish Trails RV Resort around midnight, waking up on the later side to have a leisurely breakfast, fixing our fresh water tank leak, and driving through downtown…

Stop 25 – Jordanelle State Park, Utah

Posted on November 1, 2020March 3, 2021 by Alex

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!

Posted on November 9, 2020December 29, 2020 by Alex

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…
