RV Life: Weather Considerations
Oops. I’ve neglected this blog shamefully this summer. There’s a lot I could say (and will say, in a future post, hopefully) about the great time I’ve had in Tennessee and Virginia so far this year. But today I wanted to make more of an “education about RV life” type post regarding a very relevant…

Strolling Through Storms
I’m sitting in my RV listening to rain drum on the roof… the first clue that I’m no longer in my “home spot” under a carport. As a matter of fact, I am currently at Frog City RV Park in Duson, Louisiana, at the first overnight stop on a four-day trek to Tennessee. I broke…

Unwrapping 2025
As I said in my last post, I have 13 national parks still to visit by RV (Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Yosemite, King’s Canyon, Sequoia, Channel Islands, Lassen Volcanic, and Pinnacles in California; Crater Lake in Oregon; North Cascades and Mount Rainier in Washington; and Wrangell-St. Elias and Kenai Fjords in Alaska) as well as…

Wrapping Up 2024
So long 2024, and hello 2025! With everything that occupied my attention when I came home from my travels in September (the passing of my pastor and friend Ted Law, getting back into the routines of stationary life in Houston, and taking care of the small accumulated repair/ improvement projects on my RV), I never…

Water in the Wilderness
Tonight’s blog entry is going to be a little bit different. I will tell you about my visit yesterday to White Sands National Park, the last national park on my schedule for this year, in just a little bit. But first I feel the need to write about what else is going on in my…

What Time Is It? Part 2
I was originally supposed to leave Utah on Thursday September 5, but as it turned out, my clients had some big deadlines on the 5th and the 6th, so I rearranged plans and pulled out on Friday afternoon. My target was Tucson, Arizona, which was a solid 8 hours of driving, so I broke it…

Adios to Utah
Great Basin National Park was the last on my list to be visited from my Utah base camp, but I still wasn’t quite finished there. Having cut short my previous visit to Zion, I wanted to go back and do it properly. My plan had been to visit in the late afternoon when people were…

What Time Is It? Part One.
I finished off my time in Utah with a visit to Great Basin National Park (actually in Nevada) and another short visit to Zion National Park. Great Basin National Park is in Baker, Nevada, almost right on top of the state line with Utah. Figuring out when and how to visit it was a bit…

Half Visits
Good mortereve. Since last we met, I’ve visited Bryce and Zion National Parks, but each visit has been something of a “half visit” so I waited to blog them together. As I planned for these two parks, I knew I wanted to do something “different” in each of them. I’ve done an awful lot of…

Capitol Improvements
On Saturday, I made my first national park visit from my new base at Camp Lutherwood. Capitol Reef National Park is actually almost exactly halfway in between my old site at Dead Horse Point State Park and the new one (I passed it on the way), but timing-wise, it worked out better for me to…
