Travel

Follow us as we travel around the country. Below are my recent posts about our travels. The table below summarizes our travels while RVing.

  • Flowers in the Desert March 2, 2023Flowers in the Desert
    Following a few warm days and light rains we dashed a few miles north to see the flowers that had bloomed at Picacho Peak State Park. Several other people had the same idea. Fortunately the local rangers had made additional parking available near the most popular trailhead.
  • Four Big States in Four Days November 13, 2022Four Big States in Four Days
    We did not intend to travel this far this quickly on this trip. Yes. Before we became RVers we typically drove four to eight hours every day as fast as the road would allow. In those days we might have covered even greater distances in the same time.
  • Visiting versus Traveling May 10, 2022Visiting versus Traveling
    Now that we live in a Travel Trailer you might think we are all about getting to our next destination and traveling long distances. Recently a friend was shocked to hear how far we typically drive between campsites.
  • Campground Diary April 9, 2022Campground Diary
    Yes, we have seen Waldo (not the cartoon character but the village). But where are we now and where have we been and where are we going next?
  • Aggressive Friend Making March 27, 2022Aggressive Friend Making
    As full-time RVers we typically have at most a few weeks and more frequently a few days to meet our neighbors. Wait a day and that neighbor with the interesting yard ornament may be packing to leave.
  • Why I Love My Sticks and Bricks (Satire) January 12, 2022Why I Love My Sticks and Bricks (Satire)
    While you dear reader might be quite familiar with the joys of home ownership, many of the readers of this blog think they have found the good life living full-time in a Recreational Vehicle.
  • Connections January 8, 2022Connections
    “Where are you from?” Is perhaps the most frequent question we receive on meeting new neighbors. This question helps identify potential connections. Those connections, many of which will only last a few days, perhaps only a few hours, keep us from becoming strangers in a strange land.
  • Six to Sixty Months December 8, 2021Six to Sixty Months
    Six months ago the sales clerk asked how long we might need a storage unit. … At that point we had not been on the road more than a few days at a time.

States Visited while RVing

We have visited all 50 states and had residences in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Connecticut, Washington, New York, Kentucky, and Indiana. Touring with our trailer we can visit places at a more leisurely pace. We only list states below when we stay there at least a night in our travel trailer.
