Unfortunately, the first horse race of the season at Churchill Downs was after we left the Louisville area. But we decided it was worth the hour drive back, since we might not be closer than that in the future. We didn’t care to tow the RV back and forth, though, Read more…
We weren’t sure how late we would be picking up the RV on Sunday, so we reserved a nearby Boondockers Welcome place, Paradise in Chesterville, in Arthur, IL. A very nice couple greeted us and even gave us a bag of popcorn, since they had just popped some. They didn’t Read more…
We spent four nights boondocking at a Boondockers Welcome (BW) site in Fort White called Emerald Oaks Farm. This is the third BW place we’ve done and it was another pleasant experience! There was a large, wide path around a pond where LOTS of RVs could fit. I think there Read more…
We enjoyed our week in New Orleans at the Xscapers Halloween Convergence event, boondocking in the large Shrine on Airline parking lot with around 30 other people / 15 RVs.

After exploring CO as full-time RVers for over three months, we finally crossed the border to a different state — New Mexico! We were worried we may have gotten too spoiled by the beauty in CO, and that the other states may not seem as interesting in comparison. But our Read more…

We decided to stop and spend a couple of nights near Rico, CO, boondocking next to the Dolores River at Ewing Gulch Dispersed Camping. It was a nice open field near the road, so it was easy to get in and out of. It got a little chilly at night, Read more…
