Prepping for the Storm

I hope we learned something from our blizzard experience in New Mexico because it looks like we have some more snow and cold weather headed our way.  We are spending Thanksgiving in the mountains of Colorado and so far, the weather has been beautiful.  The days are intensely sunny and even in 40° weather, we…

On the Road Again

We’ve had a lot of questions about what it means to “pack up the RV” so we decided to tell everyone a little bit more about it.  We have our process down to about 30-45 minutes (not including getting ourselves ready or eating breakfast).  If we give ourselves two hours, we have more than enough…

Surviving New Mexico

It has been a few days since we have able to post but our experiences have been quite interesting.  The following post was written a few days ago, when we were not anywhere near cell service.  Enjoy! I am writing this from the dining room table of our RV, as the storm rages outside.  Today is November…

It’s Not a Learning Curve, It’s a Learning Cliff: Part Two

I figured it was about time I shared a few more of our mistakes we’ve made on the road.  Luckily, nothing too huge has happened but we have learned some lessons from everything! Good Sam We became Good Sam members after we bought our RV a year ago.  Good Sam is a membership that gives…

Spelunking in Oklahoma

Eastern Oklahoma was nice but the wildfires that threatened our area made it a little unnerving (we were in a red flag county).  We took off on the road and found most of Oklahoma to be pretty flat and boring.  We did successfully find a place to fill our LPG tank in a tiny little…

Beautiful Day For Some Laundry

We’ve successfully made it to Oklahoma!  It looks very similar to Arkansas…but flatter.  We found a nice state park to stay in on Lake Eufaula.  Yet again, we’ve managed to secure a beautiful spot on the lake for the few days that we will be here. A couple of things that we’ve run into so far…

The Appropriately Named Hot Springs

We decided to take a little detour on our way to Colorado.  Our original plan was to visit my grandparents in Missouri and then cut across Kansas on our way to see my family for Thanksgiving.  To make Kansas sound more interesting, we were going to go through Dodge City so that I could say…

It’s a Small World

One of the hardest parts about leaving Minnesota was leaving our friends and family.  This is why today was such a nice treat. Yes, we are trying to travel from family member to family member to visit people whenever possible but we didn’t think that we would see someone from our Minnesota life so soon….

Heading South

My grandparents live in Southern Missouri just a few miles away from Arkansas.  It is here, in a little local RV park, that we decided to spend a couple of nights on our journey further South.  Our “RV park” was a field in town that had water, sewer, and electrical hookups.  It wasn’t much but it…
