Don and Ann invited us to join them once again at their annual T-Fest (Tequila Fest) event at Nine Mile, WA. It’s a family reunion of sorts. Karen dropped me off at Moses Lake, where I joined Don and Jim to play golf at Moses Pointe. Always a fun course to play. And it happened…

We traveled 8,218 miles, spent $3,588 in gas and crossed 22 states: Washington Idaho Montana Utah Arizona New Mexico Texas Louisiana Mississippi Alabama Georgia…

Our last stop on our 2022 cross country trip was where we began on May 20th, at Nine Mile Falls, WA with Don and Ann. Again, we arrived during a thunderstorm, and got set up. We parked in the same spot as last time and got level quickly. Ann was there to greet us and…

After staying at the golf course in Billings, Montana, we drove to Grass Valley Farms in Missoula, a Harvest Host location. We arrived amidst a thunder storm and it took a while to find a level spot, but there was a large open field from which to choose from. Two trailers were already there. We…

We had a brief but wonderful stay at the Eaglerock Golf Course in Billings, Montana, a Harvest Host location. On the way, we drove through Sturgis. We are still a few weeks ahead of the annual motorcycle rally, but it was still fun to drive though. Hard to believe that 750,000 people can fit into…

We stayed two days in Rapid City, SD. On the way there we stopped and had lunch at Wall Drug (Now we know where the hell it is!). It was really fun to walk through the town, visit all the shops and just take it all in. After getting settled at the Rapid City KOA,…

It was a long but very pleasant drive to the Badlands from Omaha. The scenery on the way there was just stunning, low rolling hills of lush green vegetation, cows in the pastures, and you could see for miles and miles. We arrived and got set up, a process which is now becoming much more…

Sheila, Leonard’s Mom, invited us to stay at her place in Omaha, Nebraska. (Leonard is our niece Courtney’s husband.) We drove through three states to get there: Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. Sheila and her sister Peggy were such gracious hosts. We had so much fun! I can’t believe how much we packed into 36 hours! During…

Our next destination was a KOA camp in West St. Louis. On the way, we decided to check out the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. We made our first stop at Bulleit Distillery. At 11am I had a delicious slushy made of cold brew coffee, bourbon and Bailey’s Irish Cream. So delicious! Then before we bought a…

We felt so fortunate to stay at Woodlog Covert, a working farm in Paris, Kentucky. It was a Harvest Host location, possibly the best one we’ve stayed at to date. So picturesque. The roads getting there were very narrow. They were two lanes, but barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass by. Sometimes we…
