Wolf man and Our Southwest RV Itinerary

We made it back home, and Kristi us had a long road in recovering from COVID. And in the couple of weeks it took us to get home, take care of Kristi and the kids, and run a business, all of my personal grooming went by the wayside. As a result I got home, lookedContinue reading “Wolf man and Our Southwest RV Itinerary”

Less is more…and a pottery store

So how’s Kristi, you ask? Well, a couple of days after arriving in Texas, I had to take her back to the ER due to shortness of breath. Sure enough, pneumonia in both lungs. As a souvenir, she was prescribed a steroid, antibiotics, antinausea just in case and something else in addition to the 5Continue reading “Less is more…and a pottery store”

COVID in Colorado (and Mesa Verde too)

A lot has happened during the past 36 hours. Went to a national park. Had a couple “shitcidents.” And had a confirmed case of COVID. Where should I begin?

Buckskin Gulch & Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument

Another suggestion from new friends we met earlier on this trip was doing this hike to a place called Buckskin Gulch. Basically it is what is called a slot canyon such as the famous Antelope Canyon. However, due to COVID Antelope Canyon is closed. But down the road an hour is this one and itContinue reading “Buckskin Gulch & Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument”

How much does it actually cost to live in an RV with kids?

Now that we’ve passed the month and a half mark in our long-term, RV adventure, I think it is safe to say we have lived in an RV. In fact, since October of last year, we’ve lived in our RV almost as much as our house in Florida. Most people have a preconceived notion thatContinue reading “How much does it actually cost to live in an RV with kids?”
