We planned this trip with friends a year out–unheard of for us!
This is why we rushed across the country, though, and it was worth it.
A week of island life, surrounded by friends and nature was just what we needed.
We’ve got park and campground details, as well as how we spent our week.
After reaching southern California, and the month of November, it was time to start our journey back to the east.
First stop: Arizona! With more mountains to cross, we were graced with desert views and so much more.
Come along for our journey from San Diego, CA to Tombstone, AZ!
The next leg of our journey through California was a lot less stressful–and that was fine with us!
We headed from Yosemite to Sequoia and had to make some trade offs, but were also rewarded for them!
It’s finally time to start our journey south to California–we mean it this time!
We are trying a new (to us) way of travel since we have 900 miles to our next long stop!
Come along for the drive, the crazy weather, the first stop, and why we are trying this new travel method!
Would you do this?!
When some friends reached out to tell us they’d be in southern Washington to catch up, we realized we were only 200 miles from them!
With a quick decision to change plans, we turned back NORTH to get a weekend to catch up. Plus, we got to stop an an iconic 80’s movie location!
As full-time RVers, being able to use our Thousand Trails membership really helps our budget. So finding them in great locations or with amenities or features we appreciate really makes life that much sweeter. For Thousand Trails Birch Bay in northern Washington state, it checks both of these! Birch Bay is only a few miles…
Finding a place close to the National Park with full hookups and room for our large rig is a tall order.
But finding a place that checked all the boxes for a great price and with amazing proprietors made this spot one we will return to again.
Arco, Idaho may not be as well known as some places to visit, but if you like science and nature, you’ll want to consider it!
Read on to find out what we did and why we enjoyed our week here!
Continuing our journey westward, this week we traveled from Omaha, Nebraska to Arco, Idaho, mostly along I-80 (the route of the Oregon Trail).
On long travel days and 1,200 miles of travel, we found free camping on cool nights, historical local stops, and took a turn north to stop for some R&R.
While working our way north in the spring, we spent 4 nights at the Alpine Lake RV Resort in Corinth, New York. This campground is a short drive north of Saratoga Springs (check out the May 25th blog about Tasting the different spring waters here). It is a Thousand Trails park nestled among the pine…
