National Parks

Sanger, CA / Kings Canyon National Park

We spent four nights at Riverbend RV Park in Sanger, CA while we visited Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. I could have probably found a closer campground if I’d known we’d have a shorter RV, but this was a nice, quiet spot about an hour away from the parks. Read more…

Yucca Valley, CA / Joshua Tree National Park

We stayed two nights at Desert Drifter RV Park so that we could spend one full day at Joshua Tree National Park. After getting the RV set up, we drove to the nearby Pioneertown for dinner at Pappy & Harriet’s. We split a full rack of ribs, fries and Mac Read more…

Armagosa Valley, NV / Death Valley National Park (CA)

After over a week of either traveling or sightseeing everyday, we stayed three nights at Longstreet Inn Casino & RV Resort, so that we could have an entire day of resting! We spent the first full day exploring Death Valley National Park then pretty much did nothing the second full Read more…

Petrified Forest National Park / Winslow, AZ / Homolovi State Park

On our way to Winslow, AZ, we stopped by the Petrified Forest National Park in Chambers, AZ. Thankfully, Randy read about how we could drop our Fifth Wheel off at the Painted Desert Visitor Center before driving through the park, so that made it easier to stop at all the Read more…

Sevierville, TN / Pigeon Forge, TN / Smokey Mountain National Park

We spent 5 nights in the Pigeon Forge area, hanging out with Dave (Randy’s oldest brother) and Gay Lynn. Unfortunately, since it was kind of last minute, we weren’t able to get a site in the same campground as them; but I found one at Pigeon Forge Landing RV Resort, Read more…

Estes Park / Rocky Mountain National Park

It took longer than expected at the RV Shop (about 3 hours!) because we noticed the new refrigerator was really wobbly when the slide out was in; so they had to try to brace it better. It was starting to get dark when we arrived and by the time we Read more…

Cave City, KY / Mammoth Cave National Park

On our route from TN to MO, we stayed three nights at the Singing Hills RV Park in Cave City, Kentucky so we could see Mammoth Cave National Park. Since we were there on a Sunday, we searched for a church to attend. There weren’t many that had websites to Read more…

Pigeon Forge, TN / Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Well, the weather didn’t cooperate as well as we would have liked for our first week back on the road in the RV. Unfortunately, it was still freezing and rainy for the first few days, but it wasn’t as bad as I imagined it would be. The insulation in the Read more…

Columbia, SC / Sesquicentennial State Park / Congaree National Park

We stayed at Sesquicentennial State Park in Columbia, SC for two nights in order to spend a few hours at Congaree National Park. We also drove around Columbia, SC a bit, stopping to walk around the Riverfront Park and getting a few groceries at Rosewood Market.

Everglades National Park / Biscayne National Park

While visiting the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks, we stayed at the Long Pine Key Campground for three nights. This campground was located within the Everglades National Park and did not have any hookups, so we filled up our fresh water tank and used solar power. It was pretty cloudy Read more…
