Winter is almost upon us and if you and your traveling crew are planning on roughing it in cold weather, I’m talking places that can get near to below freezing, then protecting your water source should be a high priority. My wife and I have spent the last two winters work camping in Wichita, Kansas … Read more
Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Tales on the Trail. It’s late June (2017) and we have arrived in Las Vegas after spending a few weeks in Fresno, California visiting Levi’s family. Our last journal entry was a few months ago in March. We were work camping at USI RV Park in Wichita, … Read more
Have a yabba-dabba-doo time A dabba-doo time We’ll have a gay old time –Flintstones Theme Song Background on City of Rocks State Park The City of Rocks State Park IS a page right out of history.

Wichita is not lacking in this trend with its variety of dog friendly venues. With over 100 parks (a handful being off-leash), the many pet specialty stores, hotels, and community events, … Read more
Once again, we are in the process of packing up and setting off to our next destination. I’d like to say that we are up and out of a place within 15 or 20 minutes, but that typically isn’t the case. When it comes to packing up our 26 foot motorhome and leaving, we have … Read more
You are sure to spot us driving down the road in between work camping gigs. We typically give ourselves a week or two to get to the next destination, leaving us plenty of time to see a site or two, take care of any pending RV issues, or wait out bad weather. Unless we are … Read more
Levi and I typically present our travel journals in the form of vlogs. With everything that’s happened since our last update, we thought a vlog wouldn’t capture the last few months as well as a written account. Seems like we had a bumpy transition from 2016 to 2017, a lot of unwelcome detours, but … Read more
