I remember seeing pictures of Mount Rushmore and thinking to myself, “Someday, I’m going to get to see it in person.” Someday has arrived! Even better, it was the first time to see this giant wall of granite for both of us. As is becoming a theme with us, I wish we had planned more…

The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Elkhorn Ridge Resort
Today’s post comes straight from Mark’s campground folder on his computer. Anytime someone raves about a campground he puts the information into his campground folder. Boy, did his folder deliver! Elkhorn Ridge Resort is located just east of downtown Spearfish, SD. It’s a beautiful part of the state with green rolling hills and the…
Touring Ivy Green
We had an unexpected and super cool surprise when in Red Bay, Alabama for some warranty work recently. Ivy Green, the birthplace of Helen Keller!! It was so exciting it deserves two exclamation points. There can be some downtime waiting for your coach to get in a service bay and sometimes that time spans a weekend. …
Bridge Bay Campground, Yellowstone
Our home base for this Yellowstone visit was Bridge Bay Campground. We stayed at Fishing Bridge on our last visit twenty years ago but, it’s still closed for renovations. Bridge Bay was a wonderful place to stay while exploring the splendor of Yellowstone. Since we are longer than 36-feet Mark had to call for reservations. …
Yellowstone 2.0
In 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park in the United States when President Ulysses S. Grant signed the National Park Protection Act into law. Since then, millions of people from around the world have experienced the wonder of nature. Count us as part of those millions, we’ve been twice and I know we’ll be…

Gillette Roundup!
Wow! What a week! The 103rd FMCA Rally in Gillette, Wyoming was one to remember. Rallies are an action-packed four days of fun and this one was no exception. But, the fun starts before Wednesday. This rally was a family affair for us. Not only were my fabulous in-laws coming but two of Mark’s cousins were…
FMCA Summer of Savings
Summer is here! Long days lounging in the sun with cool nights, oh wait. Not in the lower desert of Arizona. We are moving headlong into the hottest part of the year as I count the days until our monsoon storms roll in. June is our hottest month of the year and that’s when we…
Goings on in Gillette
It’s almost time for the big FMCA Rally in Gillette, WY! It’s been 20 years since our last trip to Wyoming. We spent a week exploring Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. We hiked, went horseback riding, saw countless bison and bear traffic jams and drove all around Yellowstone in our first Class C. We even had…
A Week in Red Bay
Red Bay is a quiet little town of 3,000 in northwest Alabama close to the Mississippi state line and is home to Tiffin Motorhomes. Any Tiffin owner knows the story of how Bob Tiffin started the company in 1972 and is a veritable rock star in the RV world. Count me in as a fangirl,…
