Dave’s mom and dad lived in Ozark Arkansas until he passed in early 2012, at which time she moved to California to be near us. They loved it here. We are in Fort Smith visiting Dave’s cousin Rick and his wife Stephanie. Today has been a rest day - nice to get out of the…
6/13 – Family
While the main purpose of this trip is to get help for my neck, we are using this time to do several other things: see the sites, connect with each other and visit with family. Today and tomorrow are just for that. Visited this morning with my great auntie Sharon and briefly with my cousins…
6/12 – Ooooo-klahoma!
Where the humidity will melt you in the heat... It’s so green everywhere - and that would be why. My joint pain calms down in the humidity - but I get exhausted from it too, so there’s that. Cimmaron River Donkeys of many sizes Arkansas River / Keystone Dam My mother-in-law would’ve said “there’s my…
6/11 – New Mexico & Texas
I’d love to have one of these on my property. Think they’d miss it?Old Rte 66 Radiator Springs (aka Tucumcari, NM) We had planned to stop here to check out this old Route 66 town - but it also has the closest tire center. Tucumcari: “to lie in wait for something to approach” I don’t…

The rally started in San Francisco on June 3, traversed the Rocky Mountains, dropped down to Santa Fe and will end June 11 in Scottsdale. I…
6/9 – Arizona
One of the great things about a self contained RV is that we cans pens the night at rest areas. Some are just stops - but believe it or not, some are pretty cool. Last night we stayed in one in the Arizona desert. Beautiful sunsets but pretty much flat and hot and we were…
6/8 – California to Arizona
You don’t realize how big this state is until you try to get out of it. We could have driven to Nevada and dropped down through the desert, it honestly i was a little nervous about being so remote without services like tire repair and towing. We stopped at Murray Family Farms outside of Bakersfield…
6/7 – On The Road!
A late start is better than no start - after a few hiccups, we are on the road! It’s always hard leaving the kids - even tho they’re not kids any more. But this time is extra hard knowing it will be such a long time. We are excited about the trip and hopeful for…
