We had an appointment at the Forest River factory in Elkhart, Indiana to have several items fixed. The reason we drove it all the way to Elkhart (722 miles) instead of taking it to a local RV repair place, was that there were a couple of defects that need to be taken care of. A … More 1 Year Journey – St. Louis to Elkhart, Indiana, Chicago
We left the West Coast and drove to Arkansas in just three days. When you first get on the beginning of I 40 on the west side of the USA, you get to see this sign: Pretty New Mexico scenery: We had planned to stay at an RV Park in New Mexico, but when … More 1 Year Journey – California to Arkansas
It took us 10 hours to get from Greenfield to Oceanside! That should normally take between five and seven hours, but LA traffic was so terrible! We happened to hit it right at rush hour and I think it took us 2+ hours to get through the city. More red than green on the traffic … More 1 Year Journey – California – Oceanside, San Diego
We arrived back in Seattle from the cruise to Alaska. Carla took these really cool photos as the ship was pulling into the port before I was even awake. We headed back to our house on wheels. After hooking up the car, we headed south toward California. Mount Shasta was sure pretty. JGW RV … More 1 Year Journey – Washington to California
After leaving Skagway, we spent the following entire day at sea. We woke up to the ship rocking back-and-forth quite a bit! It actually made me nauseous. I would frequently lose my balance in the hotel room or walking down the hallway, especially where there weren’t any windows. It felt like walking through a carnival … More 1 Year Journey – Alaska to Victoria, B.C.
We woke up, docked in Skagway, AK. This was the farthest point north we have ever been. We were closer to Russia than to our families! That’s a weird feeling! We took a quick stroll down the main street through town, which is, of course, loaded with gift shops. It’s neat little town, though. Snow … More 1 Year Journey – Alaska – Skagway
We woke up to our ship docking in Juneau around 5:30am Alaska Time. It was a beautiful morning! Neat wall of fog behind us that looks like a glacier as we were pulling into Juneau: We really liked seeing all the tall and skinny waterfalls. It looks like Hawaii! This is the first time we’ve … More 1 Year Journey – Alaska – Juneau
We woke up to complete fog the next day. It remained like that for most of the day. We spent the entire day at sea, so I’m not sure what all we missed scenery wise due to the fog. We could hear the ship’s foghorn sound every three minutes. We went up to the upper … More 1 Year Journey – Alaska – Ketchikan
We shipped out of Seattle and headed toward Alaska! We stored our RV in the cruise ship parking at Lake Pleasant RV park, which has electrical hookups to keep your refrigerator going. The electrical posts are shared by several RVs and require you to convert down to 110AC. It looked a little like a … More 1 Year Journey – Alaska!
Avin had been seeing the “Ride the Ducks” vehicles around Seattle and wanted to ride them. We finally made time to do that and it was a lot of fun! We also took some time to see the huge fountain near the space needle. I remember coming here is a kid. Tripp loved running around the … More 1 Year Journey – Washington Part 6
