June 25- July 3 Stop 30 was right after leaving Stevensville. For a quick night’s sleep we stayed in the small town of Kamiah, Idaho at the KOA surrounded by the gigantic aspen trees. The pool was closed, but the arcade was open and the kids enjoyed playing some “really old games” (like the ones I thought were hip when I was a kid). Stop … Continue reading Stops 30, 31 and 32

July 3rd- ?? As I write this post from the comforts of my amazingly large and perfect home in Bend, OR (funny that it didn’t feel that way prior to our trip), I reflect on how incredibly fortunate my family has been to take this adventure. To go, we had to battle doubt, fear, and worry both in our own minds and from those who … Continue reading Stop 33- The last stop for now. Home Sweet Home

June 19 – June 26 The Goeltz Family is our friends family. We love them dearly and we always pick up where we left off! Over 20 years and counting! Man, did we have some celebrations! Aspen’s 15th birthday, Mel’s 25th (who’s counting?!) birthday, Ben’s 12th birthday, and Father’s Day. We went to bed late and burned through the day. In addition to making sure … Continue reading Stop 29- Stevensville, MT. Goeltz Ranch

June 13 – June 19 We arrived at Glacier National Park KOA on Saturday and got situated. The Glacier KOA was pretty amazing with two pools, an on-site cafe and ice cream shop. They also had a Gaga ball court next to the playground. But the most amazing part was the views- we sat in the belly of the mountains that surrounded us on all … Continue reading Stop 28- Glacier National Park

June 8- June 13 Clark and I wanted to visit Dillon for a couple of reasons. First, we wanted the kiddos to see where Clark and I had spent our dating years, which were in Jackson, about 45 minutes away. We had the opportunity to meet with Monte and Inga, owners of Jackson Hot Springs at the time Clark and I were dating. We also … Continue reading Stop 27- Dillon, Montana

Wednesday, June 3rd We were about 25 miles south of Kansas City when we all voted to reroute to Grandma and Grandpa Limoges house in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We decided we wanted to surprise them and started drafting our plan. First, we needed intel. We reached out to Uncle John and asked him to find out if Gma and Gpa would be home. Check! … Continue reading Stop 24- Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house we go! 🎶

After a quick stop at grandma and grandpa Limoges house, we headed another 7 hours to Mt Rushmore. We altered our trip canceling Papa Moon, Jarvis Family Farms and Jackson Hole Spirit’s now that more points of interest (museums, etc) are opening back up. Even though the kiddos traveled through this part of the country last year on their epic cross-country trip with Gma and … Continue reading Stop 25- Mt Rushmore KOA at Palmer Gulch

Sunday, June 7th The trip to Cody, Wyoming was an interesting one. We traveled along Hwy 16, caught up on interstate 90 and then back on 16. The scenery was majestic with massive snow topped mountains and dustings into the foothills. Much colder than usual for this time of year. All the roads were clear as we approached the apex of the pass at which … Continue reading Stop 26- Cody, Wyoming

Tuesday June 2nd we headed from Arkansas to Fort Scott, Kansas. This little gem winery, Vinedo del Alamo, is a part of Harvest Hosts, a membership site for RVers who want to travel to the rural countryside. We met the owners, Denise and Bobby Duncan who are retired pipeline inspectors. They’ve been all over the world and in Fort Scott since 2008. They planted their … Continue reading Stop 24 – Vinedo del Alamo

Monday, June 1st We had to book it to make it to our KOA site in time to set up, get Riggs all good to go before heading off 25 miles back across the Mississippi River into Tennessee to Graceland for our 3:15pm tour. Graceland closed at 5:30pm, so we didn’t have much wiggle room. And we had to travel about an hour round trip … Continue reading Stop 23- Memphis KOA (that is actually located in Arkansas)
