We were traveling west through North Dakota last summer when we saw signs for what looked like a rest area. Nothing unusual about that. We figured we would pull in, stretch our legs for a few minutes, use the facilities, and get back on the road. Instead, we found ourselves at the Painted Canyon VisitorContinue reading “An Unexpected Stop at Theodore Roosevelt National Park”

A Winter Drive to Tortilla Flat
While spending part of the winter in the Mesa–Apache Junction area of Arizona, we decided to take a day and head out for a drive through the Superstition Mountains. It turned into one of those simple travel days that had a little bit of everything we enjoy — beautiful scenery, an interesting roadside stop, aContinue reading “A Winter Drive to Tortilla Flat”
Finding Trolls in the Adirondacks
One of our recent Adirondack sightseeing adventures took us to The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, New York. This summer, The Wild Center is hosting a traveling exhibit of giant trolls created by artist Thomas Dambo, and we had been looking forward to seeing them in person. The fun part is that the trolls areContinue reading “Finding Trolls in the Adirondacks”
The Covered Bridge We Finally Stopped to See
We had driven past the sign for the Jay Covered Bridge more times than we could count this summer. Every time we passed it, there was some version of, “We really need to stop there sometime.” And, like so many places you pass when you’re staying in an area for a while, “sometime” kept gettingContinue reading “The Covered Bridge We Finally Stopped to See”
The Texas State Park We Keep Coming Back To
Some places become favorites because they are beautiful. Others become favorites because of the memories attached to them. For us, Ray Roberts Lake State Park – Johnson Branch in Texas is a little bit of both. We first came here very early in our relationship on a date. And this was the campsite. At theContinue reading “The Texas State Park We Keep Coming Back To”
Two KOAs, Two Very Different Summers
When we started thinking about work camping, one of the biggest attractions was the chance to use it as a way to see more of the country. Our plan was pretty simple: head north for the summer, south for the winter, and let the jobs we found along the way help shape the journey. MaineContinue reading “Two KOAs, Two Very Different Summers”
Making Our Way North
After spending time in Oklahoma, it was finally time to point the truck north and start making our way toward New York. One of the things we enjoy about RV travel is that getting somewhere can become part of the adventure. Instead of simply trying to cover as many miles as possible in a day,Continue reading “Making Our Way North”
Under Adirondack Skies
One of the things we have enjoyed most about our time in the Adirondacks has been something we did not really expect to pay so much attention to—the sky. Of course, we came here for the mountains, forests, lakes, and trails. Those are the things you picture when you think about the Adirondacks. But afterContinue reading “Under Adirondack Skies”
A Walk Through the Woods to Owen Pond
It has been a while since we shared one of our adventures here, so this seems like a good place to start again. One of the things we enjoy most about traveling is finding places that don’t necessarily require an entire day or a complicated plan. Sometimes a short trail, a quiet pond, and aContinue reading “A Walk Through the Woods to Owen Pond”
“Home, Sweet, Oklahoma Home”
After leaving Colorado we made our way to Oklahoma for a few nights in the woods with no responsibilities at a State Park we’ve not been to before. We had reservations at Boiling Springs State Park and really enjoyed our time there. We had one “activity” day as we call them – basically a day to doContinue reading ““Home, Sweet, Oklahoma Home””
