Visiting more Colorado Ghost Towns

Kerri planned a nice day of exploring for us. Not only were we looking for a place to boondock not far out of Silverton, but there were two ghost towns within reach as well. That made for a whole day of off-road adventures. The boondocking ended up a bust… the...

Meeting the San Juans

We moved on after only a few days camped just outside of Durango. We didn’t move far, but we did move a few thousand feet up the San Juan Mountains to get back to free camping in the wild. Our spot, only a short hop from the first pass in...

Back into the mountains, finally!

We spent a full week down on the front range, visiting with my son and running my necessary paperwork errands needed to leave Colorado for an extended period. The heat of a July on the front range is pretty extreme, so an RV park with electric hookups was a must....

Back on the front range

It took over six hours of driving, with an overnight stay in Wyoming, to make it from Rapid City to my home town in Colorado. We arrived a  week and a day early thanks to Kerri’s South Dakota’s residency being so easy to resolve. This allowed me to start the...

Rapid City Redux

We had returned to Black Hills area of South Dakota with a single purpose in mind; moving Kerri out of California. Even when you do not set foot in that state, they make sure to tax you to the max. What Kerri paid in California taxes and vehicle registration over...

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Theodore Roosevelt National Park was the reason we drove all the way through North Dakota.  A long time I have wanted to drop in on Teddy, but North Dakota has always been so far off my route. I knew this may be the last opportunity (at least for many years)...

Penetrating North Dakota

We finally made it to what I consider “Officially West”. Originally I thought it would be once we crossed into North Dakota, but Fargo still has very much a Northern and Mid-West feel to it. We decided to drop the week long stay in Fargo and keep driving West with...

Final days in Minnesota

We left Voyageurs National Park early to drop a couple hours off our next weekend’s drive. If not, we would have had well over 8 hours of driving to get to our next week-long destination. Anyone that knows the ways of RV travel, 8 hours really means 12+ hours on...

Yak-packing in Voyaguers Ntnl Park

This past weekend was our second big adventure of the year; the three-day, two-night, yak-packing trip into Voyageurs National Park. Even though we had planned a few months ahead on this one, reservations were scarce for any of the boat-in camping. Only a few sites remained at the time we...
