Well we got an early start and headed back to California. Last gas stop in Quartzite (maybe head there in January?), lunch in Palm Desert, then over the hill to the Ranch. Not a bad drive. Our friends Bill and

From Show Low to here was over some mountains – gave our transmission and breaks a good workout. We thought we’d head back to California after the Balloon Festival, but none of us really want to get home. So we

Another Harvest Host stop. However this time when we checked in, even despite a phone call to let them know we were coming, no one knew anything about Harvest Host or us. But they were so friendly and said what

We had parked the RV in a lot in town, and immediately after our tour we took off. We have belonged to Harvest Hosts for several years, but this was our first time actually staying at one of their venues.

After the Balloon Festival you would think we’d be ready to hit the road again. But we wanted to stay in Albuquerque for a couple more days. Since all the close to Albuquerque RV Parks were still booked for the

We know that at the Balloon Festival there will be no hookups and crowded, so we wanted a place to fill our water and clean out tanks prior to getting there. Las Vegas, NM was fairly close to Albuquerque so

This was probably the worse stop for us. Vega is in the middle of nowhere. The campground looks and felt like something you’d see from Breaking Bad. Lots of permanent people living here in fairly rundown RVs. No one in

OK, I have to tell you that as you cross Highway 40 through Oklahoma and Texas, there is not much to see. We left Arkansas fairly early for the over six hour drive to Oklahoma City. Flat, boring landscape –

We left Tennessee today and entered Arkansas. We actually ended up spending more time in Tennessee than anywhere else so far. Unfortunately the heat and humidity followed us to Arkansas. While we expected the South to be hot and humid,

We seem to be on all interstate now. About 4 hours drive time (maybe 6 hours with our breaks). After a few days here my brother Rick and his wife Jill will be splitting off and heading north while Bill

It was only a couple of hours to Salt Lick, part of the Army Corp of Engineers projects. These are awesome camp grounds always located on a water feature that they helped built (dams and locks, water retention, etc). We

Another fairly easy ride from Asheville to Smokey Mountain National Park. But we had to make some changes en-route. The campground inside the Park has no hookups at all, and I just learned Rick’s 5th wheel didn’t have a generator

Traveling from the Nashville area to Chattanooga, was only 173 miles, but we hit some pretty heavy traffic in the Chattanooga area. A 2.5 hr ride took over 4 hrs. Worse, a truck in front of me lost his tire

This stop was only made to divide the trip up. I wanted just a couple-hour drive and this area turned out to be it. South Beliot is just across the Wisconsin border, and seems to be the poorer cousin to
