15 States










Saturday we left the Nashville KOA at 1058 with an 11 checkout.  Our usual exit time, right on time.  We only had a 37 minute drive up the 65 to our next stop.  Have we mentioned Harvest Hosts for overnight stays.  This helped fill in the gap to our next destination.  

We pulled into Sumner Crest Winery and got set up.  I say that loosely.  We had a 30a hookup which was a lifesaver as it was 92* and a little humid.  We went in and checked the winery out after getting the AC going for the pups.  

The winery is nice and has some old classic Fords inside.  There is a gift shop and several seating areas indoors and out. The wines were also really good.  We walked away with two bottles.  We also got to toss the ball for the dogs when the winery was closed and it was cooler.  

Yesterday we left the winery at about 10 am and crossed into our 15th State.  Kentucky for the next week.  Our drive was about 2 hours with traffic and driving 65 instead of 70.  We made it up to Elizabethtown and got set up.  We walked the dogs and went for fuel and groceries.  

We came back, unpacked and walked the kids again.  We had bunless Phillys on the Blackstone and threw the ball for the dogs again.  Overall good day.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
