We slept in today to the sound of pattering rain on the camper roof and chilly feel of mid 50’s temperatures. Just before noon, we made the short drive to the entrance of Acadia National Park. At the visitor center, the ranger informed us that Acadia had celebrated its actual 100th anniversary the day before … Continue reading »

We awoke and left the rest area and continued North on I-95 and 295 until we reached Freeport, Maine just after 9am. We had come to Freeport for one thing- to visit the original L.L. Bean store! It was set over a city block and encompassed several sub stores including main, home, hunting/fishing, watersports and … Continue reading »

L and I awoke from the VA welcome center and pulled out just after 6am. The kids woke up after several hours on the road. We knew today would be a challenging “long drive” day as we hoped to make it all the way to our campground for the night in Northern Massachusetts by the … Continue reading »

We are very much looking forward to our big trip this summer after not having been able to go last summer in 2015! Weeks of planning and tying up loose ends at home came to their end today as we set off from Charleston right at 6pm (only 3 hours later than planned)! Our timeline … Continue reading »

We slept well at the rest area- almost too well as we woke up an hour late.  Leaving Augusta, we crossed over the GA/SC border and by early afternoon, we rolled into home. A great trip-  here are some quick stats on our 2nd family RV Super Roadtrip: 1) Over 6500 miles travelled (over 4800 in the … Continue reading »

We left early this morning knowing we had a long drive day ahead.  We went over 700 miles over the next 14 hours crossing through 5 states and cities such as Little Rock, Memphis, Tupelo, Birmingham, and Atlanta before calling it a day just outside of Augusta, GA at a nice rest area off of … Continue reading »

We left the Oklahoma City KOA early this morning to get on the road to continue our trip east towards home along I-40.  Today the roadside scenery looked more familiar to us with more pine trees and forest and less open plains.  The secondary roads from Fort Smith, Arkansas down to Hot Springs had more … Continue reading »

We pulled out from Tucumcari, New Mexico and headed about 2 hours east on I-40 to just outside of Amarillo, Texas to Cadillac Ranch as our first stop this morning.  Cadillac Ranch was created in 1974 by three guys as a public alternative display of architecture on the land of local eccentric millionaire Stanley Marsh … Continue reading »

The Sun came up at 5:30 here in Holbrook, AZ this morning and shortly after that we were on the road.  Immediately upon crossing into New Mexico a little while later we set our clocks forward an hour (not for a time zone change but since AZ does not observe Daylight Savings Time).  By late morning … Continue reading »

We set off from Flagstaff, AZ this morning and immediately got into some flatter driving on I-40 (nice for driving, but not for the scenery).  Less than an hour later we pulled into Meteor Crater.  Meteor Crater is neither a federal nor a state run location, but rather has been privately owned by the Barringer … Continue reading »
