Even though we had a more amazing trip than I ever dreamed, it was nice to be back home. Walking back into the townhouse it was so comical to me how at times the townhouse can feel a little small compared to the house we had in Indiana, but at this moment it felt HUGE compared to the motorhome. I’m …
Keith found some information on the Elk Ridge Scenic Drive and we knew we had to do it! It was quite difficult planning and knowing what to expect because there were various accounts of what others experienced. As we left the motorhome we were still a little unsure where the drive started, how many miles we would travel, and the …
Yes, 2016! I want to first tell you about last year. Thanksgiving was the first major holiday event that we would be missing since moving. It was important to me to do something low key, but memorable as we’d be starting our new holiday traditions in Utah. We turned down offers to celebrate with new friends because we wanted to …
While having dinner at the top of the Moki Dugway we could see a trail below. Keith looked on the map and sure enough it’s an off-road trail known as John’s Ridge or John’s Canyon. Immediately the decision was made and we planned to drive it the next night. The trail is graded dirt for most of the 17 miles. A …
So far, so good! We were all set up in Bluff and had just a little bit of time to start exploring before Keith’s first workday. We were anxious to see how it would go. Keith and I had been planning this adventure and it really all depended on whether or not he could work from the motorhome. If this …
We got a great night of sleep and even slept in Sunday morning. Isn’t it funny how driving all day can really take it out of you? We’d been pretty busy the last few days and I don’t think we knew how tired we were. I kind of forgot about running to Walmart at 10:30 p.m. Friday night because my …
Check out our video about preparing for the Bluff trip and arriving to the campground! The start to summer was flying by. Keith’s parents’ trip in May had come and gone. Now we were preparing for our first long trip in the RV. Previous to this, our longest trip was 8 days at Red River Gorge, Kentucky in our pop-up. …
It was Easter weekend (2017) and Keith was off work for Good Friday. We decided to spend the long weekend at Deer Creek State Park. It was a great opportunity for a practice run. It was the perfect chance to spend some time in the RV and figure out what we needed to learn, fix or buy. Friday we spent …
Let Day 2 begin! We had driven roughly 1000 miles in 20 hours on Saturday. There were about 600 more miles to go. We were extremely happy with the way Saturday played out. We started early, no issues along the way, and the drive really didn’t feel long until the last hour when we got a bit tired and restless …
We left Keith’s parents house around 4:30 am on July 30th, 2016. We were finally driving to Utah! I’ll never forget those moments of packing our overnight bags, getting Lexi settled on her pillow, and leaving our small town behind. The drive would be long, but I didn’t care. I looked forward to just sitting and enjoying the scenery. Stress …
