Here is a complete look at some of our favorite stops, itineraries, resorts, and more.
RV Purchase
Welcome to Part 3 of this four-part series of posts featuring our attempts to find a new rig. In our first post, New RV Search we ran down the reasons we wanted to make the move. We also found out that the journey was going to be a rocky road. RV For Sale we took you through the efforts we made to sell outright or go the trade-in route.The surge of RV sales brought on by COVID-19 diminished inventories at the dealerships. The manufactures were having difficulty keeping up with demand. Undaunted, we forged ahead with our plans.
Past Itineraries
I have flushed out our itineraries with RV park reviews, attractions, nearby restaurants, and our favorite sites.
El Paso Dash
We have been grinding over this trip for the last 2 1/2 months as we wait out this stay-at-home decision. We have been isolated other than going to the grocery store and of course, my morning walks with Zoey for this entire time. I heard a phrase the other day that might describe how we are approaching this first trip out, “Calculated Risk Assessment” travel. We wanted to set a health baseline for our trip so we both have been recently tested for COVID and the results I am happy to say are negative.
Back To The Garden
Prior to jumping into RV most timing, I loved to garden. I spent a great deal of time preparing a 40′ x 4′ piece of ground getting it ready for our vegetable garden. The soil was very good to start but we amended that with a couple of years of composting that we had built up. The results were nothing but fantastic. We harvested the sweetest tomatoes, the best greens, Brussel sprouts, snap peas and beans we had ever tasted. I’m sure we all stay this about our gardens :). I loved working the soil in this patch of ground. It became a daily habit to go out and tend it.
Home Base
Hello folks, yes this is a little tongue in cheek. Our plans changed like I am sure yours have. We were in the middle of bringing Natasha to life...
Vegas And Going Batty
Vegas is calling to us once again. We are packing up Natasha for this trip looking forward to getting back out on the road. This itinerary will take us to some familiar city locations with new RV parks tossed in. You might ask the question, going batty, where is that? The answer would by Carlsbad Cavern National Park. We plan to revisit this park to witness the bats leaving the cave at dusk.
Gold Star RV Resorts
These RV parks met or exceeded our expectations based on our style of camping. If your style demands, friendly staff, great facilities, level sites, superior infrastructure including power and wi-fi these are for you,

As we closed out 2021, my newfound RV repair and upgrade confidence was at an all-time high. I took on an RV power grid upgrade adding solar to our rig. The install went as planned and is working flawlessly. We had penned in an appointment with MorRyde to upgrade our suspension in April of 2022. We got a call in early September asking if we wanted to have this done sooner. We jumped at the chance. 2022 started a bit slow due to health issues involving my knees. This called for some injections therapy and time to rehab a bit. We started our 2022 season with an itinerary I called Spring Flowers. This took us to Washington, DC, Myrtle Beach, and the southern Smokie Mountains. Fuel pricing has us making shorter hopes at the moment. We discovered Anchor Downs in east TN and loved our stay. Here are a few new shots.
