Did you know that it’s possible to go RVing for just a single weekend and have only one stop? That’s right, it’s true! I know, I know, it’s hard to believe, but sometimes people don’t drive across the country in their RV. After some of our longer trips, it was kind of nice to just…
Cross Country Redo – 11 – Arizona, the Final Stretch
We set off from White Sands without a definitive plan on how far we’d get. The big discussion was whether we’d get home on Monday night after two really long drives or on Tuesday night after three more civilized drives. We even talked about spending a few extra days in Arizona but all the nice…
Cross Country Redo – 10 – White Sands, The Beach Is Nice but It’s a Long Walk to the Water
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…
Cross Country Redo – 9 – Thawing Out in San Antonio
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…
Cross Country Redo – 8 – Stuck in Frozen Limbo
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,…
Cross Country Redo – 7 – Into the Maw of the Polar Vortex
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. …
Cross Country Redo – 6 – Be My Swampy Valentine?
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…
Cross Country Redo – 5 – Venice (No Not That Venice)
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…
Cross Country Redo – 4 – We Made It!
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,…
Cross Country Redo – 3 Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida
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…
