RV Life Season 4

Memorial Day Weekend in Lake Tahoe and Carson City, NV

In the RV community, Memorial Day Weekend is much anticipated. It's the unofficial start to summer, which means that many RVers who have had their rigs in storage for the winter finally take their babies out for a spin. Even though the RV season has been getting longer

Chester, CA: Gateway to Lassen Volcanic National Park

We've been flexible as we've journeyed through the state of California. The biggest dot on our itinerary, and the only destination we planned ahead of time, was Yosemite National Park. We also assumed that this would be our last stop in the state before heading back

The pin made us do it! Checking off Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have a unique way of tracking each National Park we visit. We don't do passport stamps or stickers. Instead, we collect pins and add them to a pin board, which we use as a decoration, first in our house, and now in our RV. I can'

Reliving pastimes in Paso Robles

One of the best parts about road tripping is the freedom that comes from putting our wheels to the pavement and driving into adventure. We discovered this years ago, when we took to the road to celebrate each of our 30th birthdays, traveling the East Coast in 2017 and West

4 months of indecisiveness led us here

When we set out for Season 4 of travels, we made note of our exit points in case we decided to return home. Having exit points is never a bad thing, even if full-timers are 100% committed to their travels. However, because we're gradually transitioning out of full-time

But before the Redemption Tour...

...we snuck in a trip to Colorado! After leaving our Airbnb, getting our trailer back, and taking Tanner to his final vet appointment in Payson, we had a few days to spare before our camping reservation began in Arches. We had left these as buffer days in case we got
