East Bound and Down!

We headed out late in October to ultimately end up in Florida for the winter. We are East Bound and Down toward the Washington DC area, making some stops along the way to replace the cooling unit in our refrigerator, remember a dark moment in this century’s history, and remember some dark moments in previous centuries as well in the Gettysburg area. Continue reading East Bound and Down!

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

Tow Guard Replacement

Our tow guard was beginning to look pretty hideous and it wasn’t really doing its job, so it was time to replace the prominent “Newmar” badge with something more classy. Continue reading Tow Guard Replacement

Wagons East! to Glacier National Park

We expand more on our opinion about Glacier National Park after having previously sparked some controversy on Instagram and Facebook with our post about being disappointed with Glacier National Park. Continue reading Wagons East! to Glacier National Park

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!

    From Repairs to Red Rock: Our Las Vegas Layover

    September 17, 2025
    After our unplanned extended stay in Apache Junction to button up the motorhome repairs, we finally made it northwest toward Las Vegas for just a couple of days. Our route followed U.S. Highway 93 up through Wickenburg, with most of it being four-lane divided highway. We were only here for a couple of nights, but we accomplished our lists.Read More »

    When the Jeep Keeps Going but the Motorhome Says Nope

    August 26, 2025
    What began as a two-week off-road adventure in Apache Junction stretched into nearly three, thanks to a cracked motorhome hitch and a botched window repair. We hit the trails with the Escapees Jeepers BOF group near Cottonwood, made new friends with ice cream in the desert heat, and battled trail damage to Rubi. Back at camp, delays from an unprepared glass company and a failing hitch forced us to cancel Flagstaff plans and stay put for emergency repairs. At least Barb got to show off her expert parking skills at Golden Sun.Read More »

    Ruby’s Big Milestone: From Rescue Stray to Lap Cat

    July 11, 2025
    After finally leaving our Phoenix Airbnb and reclaiming our motorhome after two weeks of repairs, we bounced between Benson, Tucson, and Casa Grande, seizing the chance to explore the deserts that lie between. We had lunches beneath towering saguaros, wandered Trail Dust Town’s dusty boardwalks, and even found comfort at a sunny cat lounge.  We meet a different Ruby, one that warms our hearts!Read More »

    Celebrating the Holidays in Pigeon Forge with Family and Friends

    June 16, 2025
    We were truly blessed to spend six wonderful weeks in Pigeon Forge celebrating the 2024 Thanksgiving and Christmas season with family and friends. Our immediate four-generation family visited from Minnesota for Thanksgiving, and we had a surprise December visit from dear Wisconsin friends and their crew. This marks the start of our first winter not heading to Disney—instead, we embraced the magic of the Smokies before making our way toward Arizona for the rest of the snow season.Read More »

    Colonial Williamsburg and on to North Carolina

    June 16, 2025
    After leaving the Washington, D.C. area, we headed to new-to-us areas of Virginia and North Carolina. With a short one-night stop in Williamsburg, we made our way to North Carolina for a week. Along the way, we visited a very disappointing museum and met up with dear friends in the elusive "East" Carolina area.Read More »
