All that remained was to cross the entire State of Texas. I stopped in Fredericksburg to breakup the drive and also to celebrate and have a couple days to reflect before it was all over. A nice pull-through site (though not very level) for my final campsite of the trip. Read more…
There was only one National Park remaining on my itinerary and I thought that a remote park in Texas probably wouldn’t impress me too much after everywhere that I had been on this trip. How very wrong I was. After a VERY long day of driving I arrived at Maverick Read more…
Departed White Sands, New Mexico and a huge feeling of pride when I crossed into Texas. This was the state where I started the trip and my new home. However, this is when you realize how large Texas is as I still had plenty of miles to travel on this Read more…
Crossed into New Mexico and added the final sticker to the map. I towed Wolfie all around the US, across 29 states. It felt really good to add the final sticker. All the weeks of planning had come to life and I was feeling like a pro. For the third Read more…
This is a part of the trip that was never supposed to happen. The original plan was to leave the camper in Tucson and return to Pheonix to stay with a friend and then have just a day or two to regroup in Tucson and then on to White Sands. Read more…
Left Wolfie in Flagstaff and headed out for an overnight trip through Navajo Nation land. I had an early morning tour scheduled in Monument Valley and figured I’d make the most of the journey out there by configuring a full day road trip around Arizona. The first stop was a Read more…
I was happy to have Wolfie in tow as I returned to Arizona and the high elevations of Flagstaff. We set up camp at the Woody Mountain Campground on Route 66. After so many weeks in the desert heat I was in absolute heaven and excited to put on a Read more…
It was time to leave Moab and explore the remainder of the National Parks. It was a beautiful drive to Capitol Reef National Park passing the coolest rock formations and all the desert colors. The area was settled in the 1880’s by Latter-Day Saints and orchards and pastureland created. When Read more…
It was raining in Moab and flash flood warnings were keeping me from hiking in the national parks. As I was trying to figure out how to spend my day, my dad reminded me that Mesa Verde National Park wasn’t far away. The weather looked slightly better in that direction, Read more…
After several months of a lot of driving I was happy to have someone else take the wheel. Spent the day in Canyonlands National Park with NAVTEC Expeditions on the White Rim 4×4 trail along the Colorado River. It was a small group of us and timed it just right Read more…
Left Wolfie behind in Kanab while I set off on a driving tour along Southern Utah. Was excited to spend a full day hiking around Arches National Park. Got an early start and watched the sun rise while hiking out to Delicate Arch from Wolfe Ranch. It is a challenging Read more…
Wolfie had spent almost the entire month of August parked at a storage unit in Las Vegas. I was excited to finally get back into the camper and make our way to Kanab, Utah. Passing through the corner of Arizona along the way, we earned two more state stickers. In Read more…
