Fuller Farms – Severy, Kansas
We left Melissa and Mark’s family with heavy hearts, but knowing we had a wonderful stay. Our first stop on the way home was Fuller Farms near Eureka, Kansas, a Harvest Host location. We felt right at home with their free range chickens, geese, dogs, cats, sheep and a giant thunderstorm that blew in right…
Read MoreBennett Springs State Park, Missouri
Our last travel day before arriving at Melissa and Mark’s, was sunny and hot, 90+. It was our second time staying in Missouri, after staying at a KOA in west St. Louis last summer. Bennett Springs State Park was absolutely beautiful! The camp sites were spacious, with paved parking pads, grassy surroundings, mature trees and…

We left Colorado early Sunday morning and listened to Mass as we drove through the countryside, a beautiful, bright blue day in what would be our first stay in Kansas. This day was all about the drive. We deviated from our original plan of taking HWY 70 and staying at a Harvest Host golf course…

We woke up to sunny skies, ready for our next destination, a Harvest Host location called Greycliff Mill in Montana. Our drive was long, 400 miles, 7.5 hours, through Idaho’s and Montana’s Rockies. But the weather and scenery were outstanding! Beautiful forests, green rolling hills and interesting rock formations. We drove past a historical monument,…

In Roseburg, at the Freed Winery, we woke up to very heavy fog that had iced over everything. So we carefully made our way to I-5 and were in and out of fog for the next hour or so, knowing that if things went as planned we would be home today, on St. Patrick’s day!…

We left Lodi, CA early in the morning to get through Sacramento before rush hour. Traffic wasn’t too bad and it was a beautiful drive. It was 16 degrees in the Siskiyous overnight, but by the time we got there, around 11am, it was above freezing. Mount Shasta was spectacular as always. We stayed at…

The “atmospheric river” that hit central and southern California had made it over to Palm Springs by the time we left for the next leg of our trip home, towards Sacramento. We left early and drove through some torrential rains until we got north of LA, which took about 3 hours due to the heavy…
Read MoreEllen & Bernie’s, March 2023
We made the short 16 mile drive from west Phoenix to Mesa, AZ and spent the next 9 days with Ellen and Bernie. During the time we were there, the weather warmed up to the 70s and 80s. It felt so good! Here are some of the fun things we did with Ellen and Bernie…
Read MorePhoenix, AZ, AirBNB
We made the short drive from Quartzsite to Phoenix and met up with Ashley, Tim and family. We stayed at a wonderful AirBNB that Ashley and Tim found. It had 4 BRs, 3 BAs, a huge open concept great room/kitchen, a pool and an RV garage big enough to house our truck and trailer! We…
Read MoreQuartzsite, AZ
We left Palm Springs early so we could arrive in Quartzsite well ahead of the predicted wind storm. We pulled into the Holiday Palms RV Resort at 1pm and quickly got set up. We were comfortably nestled between two large RV’s, a perfect place to ride out the wind storm. We had just enough time…
