We had a quick but nice overnight stay at Presnell’s RV Park and Marina in Port St. Joe. Perhaps the best $10 we’ve spent on this trip was to upgrade our spot to waterfront. Somehow we got lucky, with no prior planning we managed to pull into our spot, which was feet away from the…
Stop 15 – On the Road Again – Venice and Nokomis
After a relaxing and stationary (nearly) two weeks in Sunny Isles Beach we decided to ease back into RV life with a relatively nearby (only 3.5 hours away) two night stay at the Royal Coachman RV Resort in Nokomis, on the West Coast of Florida. This stop was also near Venice, which is where my…
Stop 14 – (Mostly) Sunny Isles Beach
If we felt like we needed a goal, or some other purpose for our trip, this was it. My parents moved from California to Sunny Isles Beach about 10 years ago and since then we’ve tried to see each other at least twice a year. Usually they’d fly out around Thanksgiving and we’d fly out…
Stop 13 – Notchy Creek (Bye Bye Tennessee)
I’m typing this up as we’re making our final “sprint” down to South Florida. Originally we were planning on boondocking at a gas station by the Georgia/Florida border but at this point we’re pushing on. Going straight to Sunny Isles would put us there about 3am and we’re not sure how wise that long of…
Stop 12 – Town and Country in Middle Tennessee
As I’m typing this post from our campsite in Notchy Creek, we’ve now hit the 3 week mark in our cross country adventure. We’ve also finally crossed over into the Eastern Time Zone. This is most likely going to be our last real camping experience (as far as RVing can be considered a “real camping…
Stop 11 – Franklin with Friends
Our first stop in Tennessee was a welcome change from the types of places we’ve previously been visiting, not that we haven’t been enjoying ourselves at all the other stops too, but this one felt like some much appreciated normally in an otherwise all-new itinerary. Not that we’d ever been to Franklin before, but we…
Stop 10 – The Mighty Mississippi
This was our third and final stop in Arkansas, right on the Mississippi River in West Memphis. Directly across the river is Tennessee, which is the next state we’ll be visiting. We pulled in around 10pm, setup the RV, and promptly made some trout tacos with the last two trout we caught in the White…
Stop 9 – Bull Shoals, Arkansas
Hard to believe that it’s already been two weeks since we hit the road. Even though each stop is memorable in it’s own way, things are starting to blend together. It feels like we’ve been traveling half as long as we have, but that it’s been ages since we stopped at the Grand Canyon. It’s…
Stop 8 – Ozark, Arkansas
Our stay at the AUX Arc campground right on the Arkansas River was very pleasant. Lana managed to reserve a spacious campsite about 30 feet away from the river. We spent two nights there which cost us a total of $36, this included electric and water hookups. I can’t help but think that a site…
Stop 7 – Oklahoma!
I’m typing this up as we’re heading east on the 40, leaving Oklahoma for Arkansas. The 49ers game is on in the background with Lana behind the wheel. I probably would have had a longer turn driving but after a particularly impressive play in the game, the boys said to me “you should have seen…
