Day 37 – Home Again
On Friday, April 23rd, we left the Anelare Winery at 7am and made the short 3.5 hour drive home, a little sad that our trip was drawing to a close, but happy to be able to sleep in our own bed. Reflecting on our trip, we had some amazing experiences. The highlights were: Driving on…

We drove from Twin Falls, ID to Benton City, WA for our last night. We thought about driving all the way home, but so glad we didn’t. The Anelare Winery had the most amazing views and we basically had the place all to ourselves. When we arrived, Kahrin made us feel welcome. We tasted five…

After our stay in Zion, we drove to the Holesinsky Winery in Buhl, ID, close to Twin Falls. We had stayed there on our 2nd night on March 19th in the pouring rain. The weather had changed dramatically in the five weeks in between the two stays. It was a beautiful spring day, about 65…

When we arrived at Zion River RV Park, located just outside Zion National Park, we discovered that our campsite, #74, was a few feet from the children’s play area, next to a big dumpster, and adjacent to the dog park. There were several children being really loud and generally having a good time, but after…

After a wonderful stay at Ellen & Bernie’s, we headed north to Zion National Park. On the way, we decided to drive through Sedona and visit the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon was an hour off of our intended path, so we thought, what the heck. We’re close. Let’s go! We had been to the…

Day 26 was another travel day. We originally intended to stay at a Harvest Host location, a winery in Willcox, AZ, but instead, drove to Ellen & Bernie’s in Mesa, AZ, an extra 3 hour drive. We got up early, 4am, and made our longest drive to date, 671 miles, about 30 miles further than…
Read MoreDay 25 – Fort Stockton, TX
Day 25 was a travel day, driving from Noel & Mike’s house to an RV Park in Fort Stockton, TX. It was 92 degrees when we arrived about 4pm. Hot! But with the low humidity, it didn’t feel as hot as Humble, TX. It had an electrical hookup, a pool, a shower, and decent wi-fi.…

After our stay in New Orleans, we took HWY 10 and followed Noel and Mike back to their home in Humble, TX. For the next two days we stayed with them. They have such a beautiful home! The last time we were there was about 12 years ago. Where did the time go? I remembered…

On Tuesday, April 6th, we left HD Farm and headed towards New Orleans. On the way, we decided to make a stop in Laurel, MS, where the HDTV show Hometown is filmed. It was fun to see the Scotsman workshop, the place where Ben turns his lathe. He wasn’t there that day, but had been…
