Today was just a driving day. We drove approximately 480 miles from Deer Creek RV Park in Kansas to a Wal-Mart in La Junta, CO where we are spending the night. For those not familiar with RVing, Wal-Mart welcomes RVs in their parking lots over night as long as the town does not prohibit it. This is a very good option for RVers to spend the night. It provides a safe secure space in areas where there may be no campgrounds or they are booked. Also its an option ...

After sightseeing in St Louis we headed out and drove 310 miles. The plan was to drive enough to get a head start on our long trek to Colorado, but I decided to drive a little longer to get passed Kansas City so that we would not be stuck in morning rush hour traffic the next day. Gil was not too happy with another late night drive, but I promised it would be the last, at least on our way there. Besides, he gets to take a nap while I do all the late night drivi...

After driving another 380 miles we arrived yesterday at our campground Queen Casino in East Saint Louis, IL. Since we had a late night we took it easy in the morning and headed out later. We arrived by evening and had time to set up and go for dinner before we checked in for the night. The RV park where we stayed, Queen Casino is in a very convenient location for exploring St Louis, MO. They offer a shuttle service that drove us around from the campground to ...

The long awaited day finally arrived. The anticipation had been building up and it felt great to finally pull out of the driveway. We headed out yesterday around 6PM. We stopped for gas in NY and put enough just to get us far enough to be able to fill up in a cheaper state, in this case Ohio. We drove until pretty late for about 371 miles. We spend the night at a Travel Plaza near South Vienna, Ohio. We did not intend on driving so much that evening, but we ne...

The final count down has begun. We are so anxious. The motor home will be coming home on Monday for cleaning and packing. I keep the RV stocked with all the essentials so that its easy to pack and go. This is our second year with this RV, but most of the things we had are almost 10 years old from our other RV, so I have been replacing some things trying to make it feel more homey, comfortable and safe. I bought new pillows, nice blankets and new bedspread ...
