Celebrating Independence and Community: Our Xscapers 4th of July Rally Experience in Sturgis

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.
