Early on, we created a monthly budget for our RV trip, and we planned to share our monthly expenses to see how much it cost to RV around America. Last month, we shared our RV expenses for the month of March. Below are April’s expenses, during which time we pulled our Airstream across America from […]
Property Management While Traveling Put to the Test
Well, it has happened, and it happened much sooner than I thought. One of the tenants in our rental properties back home had a legit emergency. In fact, it was the tenant in our home. The hot water heater pressure release valve spewed water all over the floor. We were fortunate that the hot water […]
Snowy Day At the Grand Canyon Reignites A Past Interest
We only planned to spend one day at the Grand Canyon before heading to Joshua Tree National Park. While the Grand Canyon is massive, one day was about right for us for a visit, as we just wanted to cycle and walk around the well-traveled South Rim trails to take in some of the awesome […]
So many parks, so little time
As we make our way across America to southern California, I have become increasingly comfortable with the fact that we can’t experience every great place and park that America has to offer. One year is a long time, and it seems like enough time to see it all. Not so. We’re realizing just how much […]
Tent Rocks National Monument, A Day Hike Near Albuquerque and Santa Fe
Coming out of an awesome camping and hiking trip at Palo Duro State Park in west Texas, we made our way towards Santa Fe on our RV trip around America. We whiffed on fun pretty badly in downtown Santa Fe. It seemed like a really cool city, but each of our stops weren’t kid friendly […]
Camping and Hiking at Palo Duro Canyon State Park, outside Amarillo, TX
After miles and miles of driving through flat farms and ranches of central and west Texas, we arrived at the grand canyon of Texas at Palo Duro State Park. The state park spans a massive canyon with high walls of red rock with striped bands of yellow, brown, and white marking millions of years of […]
My biggest pet peeve about RV life
One of my biggest pet peeves about life in the RV is stuffing things, and the biggest stuffing menace is Katie. It’s a constant source of friction, albeit humorous friction, between us. Katie stuffs things into cabinets, and I come behind her to un-stuff and organize. Here’s what I mean: Katie stuffs things in bins […]
Camping in Smoky Mountains National Park, Cataloochee Valley
We spent a few wonderful days camping in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mostly in the remote Cataloochee Valley. The dirt road leading over a mountain and then down to the Cataloochee Valley is pretty daunting, especially pulling a 21’ travel trailer. The road is only three miles long, but the average speed is […]
Giving Out Trail Magic on the Appalachian Trail – Waterville Road in Smoky Mountain National Park
In 2006, I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, 2,176 miles from Maine to Georgia over about five and a half months. On the journey, I had a lot of ups and downs, and I met a lot of great people in up times and down. When I met great people in down times, they always seemed […]
My Indiana Jones Complex
I can trace my love for adventure to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. A handsome archeologist traveling the world on grand adventures to save priceless historical artifacts, women, and children from the evil intentions of bad men. Yep, that’s who I wanted to be when I grew up. I so much wanted to […]
