Summer 2017 RVing Recap: California
Day 57: Of all 50 states, we have undoubtedly spent the most time RVing in our sister state of California. It's "our" beach and vacation-land away from home. San Diego is about 6 hours from where we live so it makes it an easy place to head, even if you only have a few days. … Continue reading Summer 2017 RVing Recap: California

Day 51: Today we left Vancouver and Canada and crossed back into the lower 48. The Port of Entry into Blaine, WA was crowded, but border patrol moved the cars through quickly and efficiently.

Day 43: We awoke excited to be in Skagway, and ready to explore more of the surrounding areas! We thought a good way to live like a local would be to travel like a local - by ferry!

Summer 2017 RVing Recap: Week 5
Day 29: It was late when we pulled off from the Turnagain Arm the night before. Alaska has very liberal camping laws. Basically, as long as there is no signage that states "No overnight parking" you are welcome to camp there. It's a very RV friendly state. I woke up, opened the shade to the … Continue reading Summer 2017 RVing Recap: Week 5
