Waking up and not having to pack up for the first time was so nice. We took our time. We made pancakes and I worked out (I tried out the picnic table technique)! We prepared a picnic and made choices about what we wanted to do today. We decided on visiting a Prairie Homestead on…
Day 6 – B-b-b-b-b Badlands
We are staying just outside the Badlands for three nights—thank goodness. Feels delightful to take our time for a minute. Today, I woke and worked out. I’m trying to figure out a routine that doesn’t wake everyone up so I can work out in peace, but that hasn’t happened yet. With the time change and…
Day 5 – Leaving Sioux Falls and Landing at Minute Man RV Park in Philip, SD outside Badlands National Park
I’m learning how to work-out in RV parks, Keith is really getting into heavy-duty velcro and tire pumps. We are learning our kitchen and bathroom routines. Toilet paper in the potty or no toilet paper in the potty? To flush the pee pee or not to flush? A lot of conversations revolve around black water…
Day 4 – Leaving Minnesota and Headed to Tower Campground, Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Finally getting our “land-legs” we are packed up and out of Alberta-Lea, MN by 10 am, even after a trip to the dump station. We are still figuring out the sensor on our No Boundaries as she is constantly telling us she is almost full when no one has peed in her. I think she…
Day 3 – Leaving Wes Dells and Landing in Alberta-Lea KOA in Minnesota
Since Wisconsin Dells is a little amusement park, it took us a little while to get out of there because of the coveted visit to the fancy sandpit! However, we slid out right at 11 am and when we landed in Minnesota at this calm and quiet KOA with not much to do by 4…
Day 2 – Headed to Wisconsin Dells
Good morning! It’s still raining! Tara woke at 5:30am (time change!) and did a workout in the mud with Willow who unlike most dogs didn’t want to be in the dog park with her owner working out outside. So, everyone got up to get Willow and after a little morning TV, breakfast, snuggle, and pack,…
Day 1 – The Adventure Begins…
After packing up our house into one 16 ft pod thanks to a past down tradition of the Welch’s proclivity for arranging and knot tying, we headed off in our Tahoe with our No Boundaries, Forest River travel trailer in tow. We set our sights on Last Resort Campground—Welcome to Indiana—a couple hours outside South…
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Soooo…yah know. Right when we arrived, Anna had to go to the bathroom. So Tara took her to the bathroom while Keith continued setting up. Low and behold, without the required team work, waterworks issued. I’m not talking about crying…though there might have been a little of that. I’m talking about the flood in the…
Lake Hope State Park
Kind of a strange beginning as our campsites was occupied by someone who got stuck in the rain. But they were gracious and moving as we arrived. Keith and I perfected our back in team work and this site didn’t have water, so we hooked up to the electric. Not too many snafoos that I…
