After leaving Maine, we stopped at another Thousand Trails location in the Catskills of Upstate New York. The third week of October 2024 was the perfect time to visit, as the fall foliage had just reached its peak—only to disappear by week’s end due to blustery weather.

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.

It has been a while since we updated the blog, the last update being the loss of our cats in Tennessee. It is time to renew the effort of documenting our travels so that we will have a permanent recollection when we need it later.

After leaving a little behind schedule from Wisconsin, we headed to State College, Pennsylvania, to have our Jeep checked out by a Youtubing automotive diagnostician. We stopped over in the Amish community Shipshewana for the weekend, stocking up on RV parts, and baked goods, and witnessed the six-horse-hitch world championships for 2023. Plus, we celebrated Barb’s birthday with a fun fall leaf-peeping train adventure. Continue reading Leaf Peeping on the Reading
After we left the Orlando, Florida, area we made our way over the panhandle, stopped overnight outside of Mobile, Alabama, and continued over the Gulf of Mexico to our second “home” of Livingston, Texas. Continue reading The Eggs are Bigger in Texas
We got sprinkled with pixie dust in Alabama! (Wait, it was that 4-letter S*** word again!) Continue reading Northwestern Alabama – Hidden Cove Thousand Trails
We are very thankful for the lifestyle that we have, reinforced by having fresh local seafood for our Thanksgiving dinner. Continue reading Gold Coast of Florida
We finally get the top off of the Jeep while we explore Southeast Wisconsin. Continue reading Blackhawk RV Campground, Milton, WI
Was there an extra day in this week? So much happened and yet so little happened at the same time. Continue reading Sick sick sick!
