Moving Onward and Upward to Northern Wisconsin
Saxon Harbor Campground and Marina Travel Day Hack Travel days tend to be long, tiring days.

Echo Island RV Resort in Coalville, UT/ Western Hills RV Park in Rawlins, WY
Originally, we planned on heading further north toward Bear Lake, UT so we could travel into Grand Teton National Park.

Green River State Park – Green River, Utah
After an exciting week in the Sand Hollows and visiting friends in Zion, the week started out fairly mundane. Our campsite was in the town of Green River and while there were mountain views around the town, the view from our campsite reminded me a lot of 12th street in Sioux Falls. I didn’t take …

Meadview RV Park – Meadview, AZ
Our trip to Meadview came with a few surprises. There weren’t any state parks along the route we were taking so we decided to stay at an RV park for a few days. As we came closer to our destination, we discovered signs for the western rim of the Grand Canyon pointing in the direction …
Lyman Lake State Park, Arizona
We arrived at Lyman Lake State Park later than we anticipated. When we did finally get there, it was after hours and we immediately discovered that our camp site was warped, some sort of disfiguration from either a tree or the soil but it was a mess to stabilize our camper on. Since it was …
