Prior to embarking on our one-year tour of US state and national parks in a vintage Airstream travel trailer, we’d never spent a single night in an RV. Not a single one of us, not even as a kid. Needless to say really, we had (and still have) a heck of a lot to learn. […]
Modifications to the Airstream Travel Trailer
Our Airstream travel trailer is mostly original, though the previous owner made improvements such as install a new air conditioner, a new hot water heater, and replace copper water lines with PEX tubing. You can see pictures of when we bought the Airstream here. We’ve owned our 1969 21′ Globetrotter Airstream for about eight weeks now, […]
A Valuable Lesson for Adventure When Storms Roll In
With a week and 800 miles completed of our 2,000 mile shakedown trip to the Everglades before making a loop around the United States, we have endured some challenges which have reinforced a valuable lesson about succeeding on an adventure. Every adventure has unexpected and difficult challenges. Some of ours on the first leg of […]
Quitting My Job
I’ve always had a job. At sixteen, when I literally didn’t make the cut for the varsity sports teams (pine rider for life, holla!), I got an after school, office job. From that point on, I always had a job. I worked at a movie theater and clothing retailer in high school. During college, I […]
A Virus: The Uninvited Visitor at Santee State Park, SC
The day we left on our trip, I was filled with nerves and lots of emotions. I was in pretty good spirits in the car. Wilson napped! Jane behaved well, and we got to our destination easily. “We’ve got this!” I thought. The blissful overconfidence was my parenting fail. Never get cocky!!! You WILL be […]
RV Gear Checklist
Here is a rather exhaustive list of the gear that we saw fit to bring along on our RV trip across America. After less than a week on the road, I can already tell that there are some things I left at home that I should have brought, and some things I brought I should […]
Hi, My Name is Katie and I Married an Adventurer.
Me? Well, I’m not sure what I am. I love the outdoors. I can specifically look back on my summers spent hiking, mountain biking, and rafting in the North Carolina mountains and attribute most of who I think I am as a person (other than my parents) to those camp days. I want my ashes sprinkled […]
Who thru-hikes the Appalachian Trail?
In 2016, Adventure Possible had a record number of applicants for it’s annual Appalachian Trail thru-hiker sponsorship. We’re happy to announce that Dawn Webster has received our financial support for her 2016 attempt at a northbound (NOBO) thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. While reading through the 197 applications that we received, it occurred to us […]
Preparing the family Tahoe to be the tow vehicle for the RV trip around America
We’re towing our 1969 21′ Globetrotter Airstream travel trailer with our family’s 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. Before the RV trip, the Tahoe was a daily driver, making trips to run errands, shuttling kids around town, and taking the family to the beach and mountains. We had to make some repairs and enhancements to convert the Tahoe […]
How much does it cost to RV around America for a year?
The common questions that we receive about our RV trip around America are “How are you going to do this with kids?” and “How much is it going to cost?”. We’ve still got a lot to figure out about how we are going to do this with two small children, but we have a pretty […]
