This past October right before the park shut down for the season we took our RV and visited Lassen Volcanic National Park. We’ve had Lassen on our bucket list for years, but it’s always been just a little bit out of the…
Hi everyone. It’s spring, and this is the time of year when most RV owners are dusting off and de-winterizing their RVs (or buying a new one) and planning their first or next vacation. It’s been a little while since…
Hi everyone – it’s been far too long since I wrote a travel update, so here’s what’s been going on in our world. We spent the latter part of 2015 retracing our steps south through California. We stopped in Cloverdale…
