As we write new pages in Our Next Chapter we share those experiences with ourselves and anyone else that wants to follow along. We write this primarily for our own recollection when we return to an area, but we hope anyone can gain knowledge about these great visits we have made.

Northwest Loop Closure

This blog post is a bit behind, we have been back to Minnesota and Wisconsin for a while now and we have even pushed off to our fall destinations.  Catching up on our documenting our summer 2021 trip out west when we arrived back to Minnesota just 100 feet and 1 mile shy of 5,000 miles! Continue reading Northwest Loop Closure

Moab – 2 More Badges!

We had not originally planned to stop in Moab this trip, but we thought it would be a shame if we would not have at least checked it out for a few days.  Continue reading Moab – 2 More Badges!

    Fall 2024 – Up and Over to Maine

    April 29, 2025
    We reached the peak at one of the windiest and foggiest places on Earth—Mount Washington, New Hampshire—where wind speeds once hit 231 mph! Unfortunately, rough seas canceled ferries to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Instead, we made the most of it and fully enjoyed our time exploring Maine!Read More »

    More Jeep Badges of Honor in Colorado, Summer 2024

    April 29, 2025
    There is a small window of time during the summer that the passes in Colorado are open for offroading and we were able to hit that! We had a great time, a really challenging trail that ultimately caused a few bruises on the Jeep that needed to be fixed, and we did not leave Colorado without damage to the motorhome because of a freak windstorm just west of Monarch Pass. With our new Thousand Trails Adventure membership we checked out the recently added Blue Mesa Thousand Trails park between Gunnison and Montrose, Colorado. Read More »

    Total Solar Eclipse and the Final Spring Push North

    December 1, 2024
    Since leaving the Orlando area in early March, our entire route was predicated on the total solar eclipse in April 2024. We positioned ourselves just North of the area of totality and met up with friends and family to experience the eclipse together. Afterward, we made our final push back to Wisconsin and Minnesota for the summer.Read More »

    Fulton Mississippi Recreation Area – Army Corp of Engineers

    December 1, 2024
    To buy some time as we made our way across the gulf to get to April's eclipse zone, we stopped for a week in Fulton, Mississippi. We took a gamble with an Army Corps of Engineers campground having decent cellular service for the week. Fulton's COE campground is an amazing find in a quaint little town.Read More »

    Montgomery, Alabama

    December 1, 2024
    In March 2024, we continued across the lower US 48 on Interstate 10 from Tallahassee to Montgomery, Alabama. There we met up with some Wisconsin friends and spent a week back in the spot where COVID sent us running!Read More »
