The First State. (30)















Turns out the first state is actually our 30th state.  After 6 days of no or mixed hookups, we rolled towards Delaware and water and electricity.  We drove the New Jersey countryside and crossed at the Delaware Memorial Bridge.  The toll was only $10, way cheaper that the Philly crossing.  

Delaware is our last new state for this trip, everything else is on repeat.  We are going to stay the night in Maryland to fill in the map, but we’ve both been through it.  The drive down the Delaware 1 was really nice.  We went past Dover AFB and you could see the tail fins of the giant transport planes from the road.  The countryside was nice here too.  

We rolled into our campground near Lewes and dumped tanks.  After 6 days, the gray was pretty full.  The fresh was starting to sputter so we would’ve had to find a spigot if we were out longer.  We definitely could do less “dish” intensive meals.  After tanks, we got registered and came to set up.  Katy swept the pine needles and sand out before we pulled in.  The campground is nice and we are really close to the ocean.  

We walked the kids and then went in search of a late lunch.  Agave in Lewes was a great spot.  The food and drinks were great.  The downtown area is nice and has a bunch of cute shops.  We didn’t explore them as we don’t have room for trinkets.  Instead we headed back towards the campground and went to the north end of the beach.  

We walked along the beach for over an hour.  It was in the 70’s, the sand was nice to walk on and watched the ships come and go.  We also found some cool rocks and some sea glass.  After the beach, we came back to do some laundry and relax.  Nice travel 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?

Image
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...
