End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 5 – Hoodoo if Yoodoo at Bryce Canyon

Posted on September 13, 2024September 13, 2024 by Alex

After a fun couple of days in Springdale it was time to hit the road again.  This was going to be a big drive day, seeing us try to go from southern Utah all the way to Idaho, but we wanted to make a not so quick detour to Bryce Canyon National Park along the…

End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 4 – The Red Walls of Zion

Posted on September 6, 2024September 6, 2024 by Alex

Waking up on this day, Lana and I have been married for 19 wonderful years!  Happy anniversary my dear!   The plan for the day was to meet up with Jeanette and Stu for breakfast at the RV, then head into Zion National Park to enjoy a couple of the main hikes the park has to…

End of Summer 2024 Tour of the West – 2 – Yosemite!

Posted on September 4, 2024September 6, 2024 by Alex

Neither Lana and I had been to Yosemite since we were teenagers, and it’s been on our list of places to visit for quite a while, so it was exciting that we could finally make that happen.  Unfortunately it was only going to be for a day, and also without the kids.  This just gives…

Summer 2021 Western Trip – 11.5 – Crater Lake

Posted on July 19, 2021July 20, 2021 by Alex

As soon as we started planning our summer trip, my one requirement was that we stop at Crater Lake National Park.  It’s been towards the top of my list of places to see for a long long time, even ahead of Yellowstone.  When we finally figured out our actual trip itinerary, at first I was…

Summer 2021 Western Trip – 5 – Yellowstone and Gardiner, Montana

Posted on July 8, 2021July 19, 2021 by Alex

Grab some snacks, this is going to be a long post! After leaving Jackson, we all caravaned (two RVs and a mini van) straight to Yellowstone via Grand Tetons National Park. Our campsite for the next 4 days was just north of the small town of Gardiner in southern Montana.  We had to drive the…

Summer 2021 Western Trip – 4 – Jackson and the Tetons

Posted on July 5, 2021July 19, 2021 by Alex

That’s right, Jackson isn’t just a hideout for Billionaires, it’s also the perfect home base for exploring Grand Tetons National Park.  Considering how late in the season we were making our reservations, we were very lucky to get anything.  We ended up at The Virginian Resort, which is part hotel and part RV Park on…

Summer 2021 Western Trip – 3.5 – Dinosaur National Monument

Posted on July 4, 2021July 19, 2021 by Alex

Pros about Dinosaur National Monument:  It was a quick 20 minute drive from our Campsite and Steinaker State Park.  Interesting dinosaur exhibits. Cons about Dinosaur National Monument:  Despite its name there were no actual dinosaurs.  Lots of bones and some replicas, but no actual dinosaurs running around – BOO! Our visit to the monument was…

Cross Country Redo – 10 – White Sands, The Beach Is Nice but It’s a Long Walk to the Water

Posted on February 22, 2021March 3, 2021 by Alex

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…

Winter Break Trip – Joshua Tree

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

I’m not sure how easy it would be to RV camp inside of Joshua Tree National Park in the best of times, but in our case it wasn’t an option at all due to the Covid related moratorium on overnight camping inside park borders.  Boondocking in the middle of nowhere isn’t something we’ve done yet…

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…
