Carlsbad RV Park and Campground (14-18 Apr 23) And onward we go!  Our first trip into New Mexico was a stop in Carlsbad.  Everyone is aware of the Carlsbad Caverns National Park and that was our driving factor in stopping here.  And good thing that was our goal because there is not a whole lotContinue reading “Carlsbad, NM”

Whistlestop RV Resort (10-14 Apr 23) Westward ho!  We continue our journey with a stop in Abilene, TX.  Why, you may ask?  For no other reason than it was on the road a good day’s drive away!  We ALWAYS find something to do where we stop.  Abilene was no exception!  We toured the “Frontier Texas”Continue reading “Abilene, TX”

Vineyards RV Campground and Cabins (3-10 Apr) We are back in Grapevine – and at our favorite campground to date, The Vineyards RV Campground and Cabins!  After spending the majority of the Winter in Bandera, TX, we have begun our western trek for the Spring!  Our travels will, of course, be revealed as we go,Continue reading “Grapevine, TX”

We are back!  After a short (?) hiatus, we are back on the road again.  We took some time from October ‘22 to April ’23 to spend a little quality time with family after our Summer/Fall trip around the Mid-west last year.  We spent some time with my siblings in Tennessee and made it outContinue reading “On the Road Again”

AR, MO, IL (22-27 Aug) As we finished our visit in Grapevine, we had to make our way back across the Midwest to Elkhart. Along that route we made stops in Hot Springs, AR; Charleston, MO; and Fairmount, IL.  Each stop was a pretty cool point of interest and made for another fun leg ofContinue reading “Transit Stops”

Vineyards Campground and Cabins (17-22 Aug) Back after a short hiatus while we enjoyed time with friends, transited across country and attended school.  We are currently at our last stop in Dry Ridge, KY before ending our “Summer Tour 2022” back home in Sparta.  Grapevine, TX was one of our favorite stops on our summerContinue reading “Grapevine, TX”

KOA OK City East (10-17 Aug) Oklahoma City, OK!  What an interesting town!  So much history… so much to do… so much to see!  We started this visit with a bang by meeting our long-time War College friends, Mike and Debbie Thompson.  We all met for dinner at the iconic “Cattlemen’s” Steakhouse in the historicContinue reading “Oklahoma City, OK”

Deer Creek Valley RV Campground (8-10 Aug) Our stay in Topeka was short, but action packed!  Originally only planned as an opportunity to visit another state capital, it turned out to be much more!  As a result of our blog, friends and camping buddies, Gary and Randi Fox found us and let us know theyContinue reading “Topeka, KS”

Gretna, NE at the KOA West Omaha / Lincoln (1-8 Aug) And the adventures continue!  Our next stop was in Gretna, NE about halfway between Lincoln and Omaha.  We were able to double our sightseeing!  Exercising our typical modus operandi, we gathered some local information from the nearby drinking establishments and plotted our adventure!  Again,Continue reading “Lincoln / Omaha, Nebraska”

Holiday RV Park and Campground (25 Jul – 1 Aug) North Platte, NE is a crossroad (rail?) of America, as we came to learn during our stay.  In addition, there were many things to do and places to see we were not aware of until we arrived!  We managed to fill a week with breweries,Continue reading “North Platte, NE”
