We spent two weeks camping among volcanic cinder cones outside Flagstaff and discovered one of Arizona's most unique landscapes—where ancient volcanoes, pueblo ruins, dark skies, and RV camping come together.

We spent ten days boondocking at SeeYa Point just outside Valley of Fire State Park and found one of the most peaceful and scenic camping spots near Las Vegas.

Death Valley is a place of extremes — harsh landscapes, vast silence, and unexpected beauty. Spending two weeks exploring this unique national park became one of the most memorable experiences of our journey.

Our second week in Oregon took us to the beautiful Oregon Dunes near Florence, where we set up camp at Thousand Trails South Jetty. This place quickly became the perfect base camp for our week’s adventures, giving us easy access to both the dunes and the charming town of Florence. After work, we’d head out to explore the area, making the most of the long summer evenings.

Our first week on the Oregon coast has been nothing short of spectacular. We set up camp at the Thousand Trails Pacific City, a gem of a campground nestled just across from the ocean. The location couldn't have been more perfect, offering us the soothing sound of crashing waves as a constant backdrop and easy access to the beach.

Hey, fellow trekkers! After an incredible summer filled with adventures from Yellowstone to Seattle, we’ve found ourselves in the beautiful state of Oregon. Our time here is brief—just two weeks—but we’re making the most of it by focusing on the stunning coastal areas around Pacific City, Cloverdale, Tillamook, and Florence. These picturesque spots offer a perfect blend of rugged coastline, charming small towns, and breathtaking natural beauty.

Our next stop on our journey took us to the breathtaking Olympic National Park, a place we had never explored before. Since it was still the height of the summer travel season, finding reservations within the national park was impossible. However, luck was on our side as we discovered an epic boondocking spot on the banks of the Hoh River. This popular spot was a gem, and we managed to snag a space large enough for our rig, just feet from the water. Waking up to the gentle so

Our next stop on this incredible journey brought us to Seattle, Washington—a city filled with vibrant energy, iconic landmarks, and stunning views. Although we didn’t stay directly in the city, we found a fantastic campground about an hour away in Monroe, Washington: the Thousand Trails Thunderbird Campground. The section of the campground we stayed in backed up to a beautiful river, providing us with serene, calming views during our workdays. We couldn’t have asked for a bet

After the unexpected detour from Glacier National Park and our brief stay in Coeur d'Alene, we finally found ourselves in the picturesque town of Leavenworth, Washington. The drive from the eastern part of the state to the stunning mountains surrounding Leavenworth was an adventure in itself. As we approached, the landscape transformed from arid plains to lush, tree-covered peaks, setting the stage for our next chapter.

Changing Course: From Wildfires to Yellow Jackets to Leavenworth After an incredible two weeks exploring Yellowstone National Park, our next destination was supposed to be Glacier National Park. We were eager to experience its stunning landscapes and pristine wilderness, but as often happens on the road, plans can change in an instant.

After an unforgettable week at Grand Teton, we headed straight to our next destination: Yellowstone National Park. Initially, we planned on spending just a few days here, scouting out the sights and perhaps finding a boondocking spot nearby. But Yellowstone had other plans for us. This park's beauty and sheer magnitude convinced us to extend our stay to two incredible weeks. Honestly, if we could have, we would’ve stayed the entire summer—there’s just that much to see and do!

Our third stop on this unforgettable summer adventure with Daxton took us to the breathtaking Grand Teton National Park. We spent an entire week soaking in the majesty of this incredible landscape while boondocking in the national forest just outside the park. Our campground was tucked away down a long, winding dirt road, nestled right next to a peaceful river. The setting was serene, but what made it truly special was the surprise visitor we had shortly after setting up camp

Our summer RV adventure continued with a fantastic second stop at the Xscapers 4th of July Rally in Sturgis, SD. This was a special event for us, as it marked Daxton's first Xscapers gathering, and we were excited to see our old friends and make some new ones, in addition to participating in the activities that make these rallies so memorable.

Our summer RV trip kicked off with a fantastic week at Devil’s Tower National Monument, a destination that left us both awe-inspired and grateful for the time we spent together. This was our first stop on our summer journey without our grandson, Daxton, and it turned out to be a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
