After Nashville, we began our journey towards Humble, TX, to stay with our good friends Noel & Mike. Originally, we were supposed to meet up with them in Pensacola, FL to see the Blue Angels last airshow of the season. However, due to the government shutdown, the show was canceled. Our first night we stayed…
We arrived in Nashville on November 4th and stayed for three nights at the Two Rivers RV Resort. It was a decent park with full hookups, laundry facilities and conveniently located 8 minutes from the Grand Ole Opry and the Opry Hotel. Karen had been to Nashville once before with Linda for a Weekenders Convention,…
This Harvest Host location is a hidden gem! We were welcomed by Leah at the clubhouse and she showed us the two options for parking. We chose to park by the tree overlooking the golf course instead of the parking lot. Beautiful spot! We met the owner Josh and had a nice conversation about the…
We arrived at Melissa & Marks on Saturday, October 4th and stayed for a month. This time we stayed at their “Garage Property” a few blocks from their house. It was mostly quiet, except for the coyotes that howled occasionally at night. We saw deer and lots of unique birds like cardinals and buzzards. We…
Our last stop before reaching Melissa’s farm in Dixon, Missouri, was a KOA camp at Lake of the Ozarks. We’d never been there before and it was a beautiful place, a great mixture of trees and lakes. On the way there, we saw a funny sign, “Tightwad Bank” with all zero’s. The name of the…
We arrived at the Lewis & Clark Visitors Center at 3pm and they were scheduled to be open until 4pm, so we quickly got set up and went inside. Thankfully, it was air conditioned as it was about 90º outside. Admission was $8 apiece. The host was very nice and offered to stay late for…
Karen woke up with a bad headache, a combination of one Moscow Mule the night before, the elevation of 7800 feet, and the consequential dehydration. So, after a late start, I drove the entire 320 miles from Elk mountain to North Platte, Nebraska, while Karen reclined and tried to make herself comfortable. Again, it was…
We stayed one night at the historic Elk Mountain Hotel, in Elk Mountain, WY, elevation 7800 ft, although it didn’t seem like it as the drive was flat and windy. This Harvest Host location was built in 1905 and had a lot of old world charm. There were two young deer in the front yard…
We arrived at the Gros Ventre (pronounced “Grow Vaunt”) Campground mid-afternoon on Sunday, September 28, 2025. It was my Mom’s first birthday in heaven. She would have been 91 here on earth. The drive over the pass to get to our campsite was maybe the steepest we’ve ever come across, with 10% grades up and…
We spent 2 1/2 full days and three nights in Yellowstone National Park, our first time there. We stayed just outside Yellowstone at the Yellowstone Grizzly RV park in West Yellowstone, Montana, which was very nice. The weather was great, even though it got down to 27° one night it was still mid 70s during…
