As I planned our spring adventures trip, I knew that exploring the magnificent Shenandoah National Park was a must. The one hundred north-to-south miles of this national park with its sweeping vistas were awe inspiring. The joy of hiking the Appalachian Trail for a few miles was a delight. Oh Shenandoah, I’m glad we came…

Let the Adventures Begin!
Hello friends and family! Welcome to our first blog of 2025. We’ve been on the road for 3+ months, beginning with three SOWER projects in Florida as well as the beginning of our adventure travels. For those who might be new to our blog, the SOWER ministry (Servants On Wheels Ever Ready) has been part…
Surprising Discoveries, Unexpected Joys
RV life affords grand adventures like our time in Glacier, but also offers opportunities for discovery. Since leaving Glacier, we’ve enjoyed a series of smaller wonders. Before I continue, Skip wanted me to convey two important facts about our trip. First, he whomped me playing gin a couple of nights ago. 226 to 22. Ouch….
Glacier Glory Multiplied!
After four fabulous days on the west side of GNP, we drove to the east side of the park. We’ve savored two days exploring more majestic mountains, lakes, and waterfalls, albeit with unbelievable crowds. Still no bears. Alas. We saved the best hike for our last day—the Hidden Lake Overlook. Since words can’t possible explain…
Surrounded by Splendor!
For the past month, I’ve felt like a child awaiting Christmas morning. I began planning our western adventure about eighteen months ago. My expectations have been building as I imagined entering Glacier National Park. We delayed a year while Skip received cancer treatment. Thankfully, he is well, so we revisited our trip plan and headed…
Bridge Deck Near Disaster
Skip’s entry for our travel blog. “Uneventful”. That is what we like to experience on our travel days. Throughout this whole trip so far, we’ve been pretty much “uneventful”. That is, until we reached the western gateway into Glacier National Park. A single road leads into the park and our RV campground reservation was a…
On Top of the World!
As I’ve shared in the past, mountains speak to me. While visiting Red Lodge, Montana, I heard the Beartooth Mountains calling my name. I felt like Maria from The Sound of Music, my favorite movie. On a bluebird sunny afternoon on our first day in Red Lodge, we traversed the Beartooth highway, often claimed to…
Canyon of the Big Horns
When I first began dreaming of an RV adventure trip out west two years ago, I was inspired by a post that described the Big Horn canyon. Stunning pictures got me to thinking. Now that dream has been realized. We explored the Big Horn Canyon of Wyoming for three days. These canyons evidence the phenomenal…
Joy in the Journey
Skip and I love adventure. We treasure exploring our amazing country. We’re pleased to share that we are back on the road! We’ve begun a 5 ½ week trip through North Dakota, a corner of Wyoming, lots of Montana, then returning to Minnesota through South Dakota. In a recent blog post, favorite author John Eldredge…
What a Ride!
After savoring North Carolina and Tennessee, Skip and I switched gears from mountains to music. We were itching to see Nashville!
