Follow Along With the Adventures
I can’t recall when I first heard about Bonneville Seabase, but whenever it was, I was intrigued. Bonneville Seabase is a collection of warm springs bubbling out of the desert hardpan roughly 40 miles west of Salt Lake City. What’s unique about these springs is that by the time the water hits the surface it’s…
This may be the first time an interstate rest stop gets it’s very own blog post. Last time we drove west on the I-80 through the Bonneville Salt Flats (on our first cross country trip) we passed what looked like a really cool rest area right on the flats. There were a large number of…
After our short excursion to Ice House a couple of weeks ago, it’s time to hit the road for our big Summer trip, an extended adventure through 8 Western states. Like our other longer trips, this one is going to be a combination of work and vacation days. At least this time the boys don’t…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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. …
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…
