Our final day in Albuquerque was Wednesday 10/15, and we really didn’t do much – restocked at the grocery store and made a trip to Planet Fitness. Thursday morning, we headed East to the town of Tucumcari, New Mexico. It’s one of the many towns that thrived in the...
We arrived in Albuquerque Tuesday afternoon. The scenery as we drove South from Raton was really beautiful, and the area along I-25 was dotted with lots of large yellow bushes. I looked it up and it’s called Chamisa, or “Rubber Rabbitbrush”…say that 10 times fast! ABQ is a busy...
We’re not in Kansas anymore! On Tuesday, we continued our journey West, crossing into Colorado and then heading Southwest to Colorado Springs. I’ve only spent a little time in Denver, and have always been so fascinated by the beauty of Colorado, so we’ll actually be spending four whole days...
We are on the road again…and have spent most of the past nine days literally on the road, driving to Western Kansas where we are currently. Of course, we can’t just drive day after day, so we did make some stops along the way and see some sights! We...
We had a fairly short drive from Lebanon to Logan on Tuesday June 24th, so we made a stop on the way at Ohio’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Chillicothe, OH. There are several locations within this National Park Service site, each preserving...
After almost two months at home, it was time to hit the road again on Monday, June 16th for our first summer camping trip of 2025. Our first stop was in Bluffton, IN, just south of Fort Wayne in NE Indiana. Tuesday was a project day – Mark had...
After arriving at the Crystal River KOA early Friday afternoon (March 7th), we took Saturday morning for some much-needed downtime, and then made a short drive in the afternoon to Three Sisters Springs. This area is popular for Manatees due to the springs that maintain a year-round temperature of...
Before I share this leg of the trip, while we were in St. Augustine, we did some ‘decorating’ in the trailer. You may recall last summer we had some issues with our refrigerator, and we weren’t sure if the dealer would have to replace it, so I removed all...
For our first day of fun in St. Augustine, we decided to take an Old Town Trolley Tour, to introduce us to the city and give us a preview of the many things to do & see here. Technically, it’s a hop-on, hop-off tour, but we stayed on for...
For our first day in South Dakota (Thursday Sept 26th), we drove about an hour to Badlands National Park. We visited here in 2010, but like most National Parks, felt it was worth a return visit. Plus, they say it’s eroding about an inch each year, so those 14...
