Normally we update with a set end date as we move on to our next planned stop.

No such luck this ... month, I guess.

Though I very much wanted to see the Ring of Fire eclipse in its totality last weekend in Utah or New Mexico, such was not our fate.

We've been here in North Las Vegas since September 25th (with a brief but awesome interlude for Mati's birthday). It's a mystery how much longer we will be here. Seriously, I'm not creative enough to explain what is taking so long.

Anyway, we don't have an immediate next door neighbor here in the campground/parking lot, so it's movie night, industrial parking lot style.

Behold the sadness! (Actually, movie night is pretty fun and a nice way to lighten our moods).Baca selengkapnya

We had a bunch of fun at Mati's birthday celebration, so much fun we forgot to take any pictures!

We enjoyed Atomic Saloon and Meow Wolf, neither of which we'd experienced before. We got in lots of biking miles and had some really great meals.

And we drank lots and lots and are now enjoying some much-anticipated sobriety.Baca selengkapnya

We're back at the shop getting a small number of items fixed very very slowly. Just...unbelievably slowly.

At least it isn't as hot as last time, and we're much more at home.

Despite some slim and likely unrealistic hope that we'd get this finished in a mere week, we are now certain that we'll be back here again after our fun Vegas Vacation next week, yay!Baca selengkapnya

Our last stop on the way to Vegas in the mountain town of Ely. The park we are in is really comfortable, beautiful weather and big, mature trees for lots of shade.

I haven't really been around many really big deciduous trees in the past dozen years of living in the desert or Texas Hill Country. It's so nice and an awesome taste of things to come as we continue our adventure around the continent.Baca selengkapnya

We're bee-lining to Vegas at this point. We're spending one night here in Wells, NV. Normally just another campground, but today happens to be our 12th anniversary--so we are celebrating with some nice patio weather, wine, cheese, and a board game.Baca selengkapnya

We enjoyed staying in Boise for a few days. Our RV park was right next to a very long walking/biking trail that led straight downtown. We met up with some friends for dinner and they stopped by as our first official house guests--even if only for a couple of minutes.

Dinner was at an awesome steakhouse where we enjoyed a beautiful waterfront view. We had such a fun time we forgot to take pictures, but I've included some I found online. The one of the table overlooking the water was the table we ate at :)Baca selengkapnya

A quick stop on our way to Boise. Cute little town, that apparently takes Mondays off. It's also our first back-in spot (vs pull-through) and we were complimented on our parking. :)

On the way here, we tried adjusting the way we transport our e-bikes to take stress of the derailers. Unfortunately, they slipped out of part of their securing restraints. Thankfully, they did not fall off and were not damaged. We're trying a new configuration today.

On the plus side, Isabel, is getting much better with her monorail impressions.Baca selengkapnya

We're spending 2 weeks here just outside of Spokane, WA right next to a casino; there's a pretty significant overlap between RV living and casinos, it seems.

There's a nearby farmers market with some pretty veggies which we prepared into a tasty, if non-traditional game day snack. Like casinos, football also goes quite well with RV living.

Now that we're finally in a city with more than 1000 people, I was able to avail myself of some much needed salon services. I may have gotten a little carried away and decided on some fun hair color!

Isabel hasn't decided if her new tent is preferable to having her harness on to go outside, more research is needed.

There's also some pretty decent hiking here and downtown Spokane is only 10 miles away allowing us to get there with our bikes.Baca selengkapnya

Pelancong Nice looking place! May I add the veggie dish looks delicious and I'm on the fence over Isabel's new hangout, she has an expression of " what the hell" hope she settles in. Have fun, safe travels

Lunch break in the lovely mountain town of Kellogg. We had a tasty lunch at Radio Brewing Co. but opted out of our planned walk along the river due to the rain.

It's a brisk 50 degrees here, but we make it look colder due to our rain gear :)Baca selengkapnya

We are spending the holiday weekend in Missoula as we continue our journey west.

This was our first travel day with Isabel's new stairs which she has made good use of.

We enjoyed lots of outside time, Isabel was very happy to explore and lounge outside for hours on end (and cried to go out, even on a rainy Sunday morning). We also had our first outdoor cooking adventure. We don't have a grill, but we are able to bring our induction cooktop outside pretty easily!

Our neighbors put out their "It's 5 o'clock Somewhere" flag at half mast in honor of the passing of the great Jimmy Buffet.Baca selengkapnya

Pelancong How fun and happy Isabel has a nice view. Emily was telling us of a site her friends with a motorhome belong to its called Harvest Host, apparently it tells you places at wineries and breweries that accommodate large motorhomes.

Pelancong Ahh yes, Harvest Hosts is on our radar! Once we have our batteries fixed up so we can stay places without hookups we'll be joining. I already checked and a bunch of places in NOVA are available through HH!
