Dawson Creek & Mile Marker 0

Dawson Creek is the set-off point for the Alaska Highway. We spent three nights here, Wednesday through Friday June 21, 22, 23. We will leave on Saturday the 24th for our next travel days. I should also mention when traveling the road north in Canada before Dawson Creek we spotted a large statute of a […]

Oh Canada!

On June 17, 2023, we left America for Canada! The border crossing was easy, and we entered Canada on our way to Granum, Alberta. Going through Calgary was crazy with the amount of rain we got. It rained so hard; we couldn’t hear each other talk in the truck! By the time we got to […]

Glacier National Park

We arrived in St. Mary Montana on Wednesday June 14, 2023. The drive was windy, and rainy but other than that uneventful. Well, our GPS did route us to Glacier National Park instead of our campground, but the ranger was extremely nice and since our campground was less than 2 miles away she was able […]

Montana

Our plans changed and we ended up skipping Provo, Utah since the Elks Lodge was full and the weather was warm, meaning when we pulled over the inside of the trailer would be really warm to sleep. So, we pushed on to Blackfoot, Idaho and used a Harvest Host, which is an organization we joined, […]

NORTH TO ALASKA!

After months of preparation for our epic trip, which included Tom’s new “Moose Gard” on the front of the truck along with a compressor and an air horn, which he insists is important! The family came over on Sunday June 4th, after Elisa’s baby shower and we had dinner and said our good-byes until August […]

Utah! And Three More National Parks

On Wednesday, May 18 we left Wyoming and headed to Utah. We arrived in Provo on Wednesday afternoon and planned on staying at the Elks Lodge. They have 5 full hookup spots and 3 dry camping spots, we thought we’d be fine, but got there to find out all sites were occupied. Luckily, they have […]

Wyoming and Yellowstone

We left South Dakota on May 11 and drove as far as Buffalo, Wyoming. There isn’t much to say about Buffalo and we didn’t even unhook the trailer from the truck. We got up early the next day and drove to Cody, Wyoming. On the way to Cody, we needed to cross into the Rocky […]

On To South Dakota

After saying good-bye to family, we packed up and headed to South Dakota. I can say this much about the state that has less than 1,000,000 people living there, they have a vast amount of open land, and it is VERY windy. We stopped for Saturday night in Mitchell. We set up the trailer and […]

Minnesota and More Cousins

Tom also has cousins living in Minnesota, and that is where Tom and his brothers were born, so on Monday, May 2 we travelled from Iowa to Minnesota to continue seeing family. Mankato is only a about 150 miles away, so it wasn’t a long drive. We stayed at a cute campground called “The Sawmill”. […]

Iowa and the Pentico Cousins

On Wednesday, April 27, we left Lawrence, KS and drove through Missouri to Des Moines, Iowa. The Kansas Turnpike is also a toll road, but this time we ready for it! One of the 5 Iowa Pentico cousins, Lynn, lives in Norwalk a suburb of Des Moines and since Tom and I had never seen […]
