Monday morning should have been our departure from Rapid City to start making our way East to Chicago, but there was a wind advisory in effect until late afternoon, with wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. That’s incredibly unsafe for high-profile vehicles like ours, so we paid...
We are staying at Medora Campground, about ½ mile from the entrance to the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park; what a treat to be so close, and surrounded by such incredible views! We took a walk after we finished setting up, to check out the scenery! And...
It’s time to hit the road again! After just a couple short camping trips this summer, we are heading out for a 26-day, five-state adventure! But first, a quick update on our blown fuse/refrigerator issues. Mark contacted the dealer where we purchased RoVer Too and fortunately they said they...
Our latest adventure started Monday morning, as we headed East and stopped at Indiana Dunes National Park. It’s only about an hour from our house, but we hadn’t yet visited. We headed to the Visitor Center and watched the film about the park and the dunes, and picked up...
We’re back at it with RoVer Too! After several months off, we hit the road on Monday June 10th to neighboring Indiana. Before I get into the details of our trip, I have to shout out to Mark for his most recent project to enhance our RVing experience. The...

We packed up and left Mississippi Saturday morning. After all the rain on Friday, everything was caked in mud by Saturday morning. Yuck! Is that where Mississippi Mud Pie comes from? Shortly after we left the campground, I remembered that I had forgotten to latch the refrigerator…this is a...
After arriving in Mississippi on Tuesday, we spent a rainy Wednesday in the state’s capital of Jackson. Our first stop was the Old State Capitol which is now a museum. The building is beautiful, and has been restored a few times over its 185-year history…most recently after damage caused...
On our last night in Alabama, we stopped by “The Wharf” entertainment district not far from our campground to see their laser light show. They made good use of their very tall palm trees for the show! Thursday’s drive was only a few hours, heading West through Mississippi and...
Thursday morning we drove out to Fort Morgan, about 25 miles West of Orange Beach. It’s situated where Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico meet. The fort was completed in 1834 and served the Confederacy during the Civil War until it surrendered in 1864. The fort was occupied...
