Phillip & I (Renee) returned recently from a camping trip to Crater of Diamonds State Park & Daisy State Park in Arkansas & the travel bug hit us hard! We’ve always loved to travel & be outdoors so we’ve decided to set out on an adventure June 30th, 2018 to visit 13 states out west in our 1989 Class B Dodge Xplorer (Stan the Van) for 6-8 weeks (or possibly longer)! We’ve been wanting to do this for a while now & the opportunity has finally presented itself, so we’re packing up our gear & dogs (Darcy & Lola) & visiting National Parks, as well as other cool oddities & historic sites along the way, in a journey across our beautiful United States so make sure to bookmark or follow us to keep up with where we are!
Our tentative schedule is as follows:
| Texas | Big Bend National Park |
| New Mexico | Carlsbad Caverns National Park |
| New Mexico | Roswell (3 day UFO Festival) |
| Arizona | Grand Canyon National Park |
| California | Yosemite National Park |
| California | Pacifica Esplanade Dog Beach |
| California | Redwood National Park |
| Oregon | Crater Lake National Park |
| Washington | Mount Rainier National Park |
| Idaho | Uncertain at this time |
| Montana | Glacier National Park |
| Wyoming | Yellowstone National Park |
| Utah | Zion National Park |
| Colorado | Rocky Mountain National Park |

Leave us a comment! We’d love to hear if you’ve visited any of these parks, want to give advice for first timers, or would like to simply say hi!
