Looking Back – Imagine RV Travels without Public Lands
As I think about having pulled our home on wheels over 30,000 miles through parts of the United States, Scotland pops into my thoughts.

While researching and preparing for our 2021 travels, we found Google’s satellite imagery of the areas of Utah and New … Continue reading May 5, 2021 – Fire and Sand

Caddo Lake State Park campground. If Vivian were writing our blog, this entry would not exist. In her mind, Texas was a fleeting moment that she was all too eager to put behind her and was not worthy of a blog.
