On our way to Yellowstone, we stopped in Red Lodge Montana. We went there for one reason, to ride the famous Beartooth Pass. It has been named the number one motorcycle road in the United States by many organizations, including the American Motorcycle Association. It is a 68-mile stretch that starts in Custer National Forest and rises four thousand feet from Red Lodge to peak at 10,947. It takes 2 hours without stops due to all the low speed curves. From the over...

Leaving KC behind, we drove 750+ miles over 2 days to get to the Sturgis Motorcycle rally. Even in KC, we were already seeing lots of bikers heading for Sturgis and as we got closer we saw an almost constant stream of bikes on the highway. They were going both ways so apparently thousands of Bikers only stayed for the first weekend of the rally.

After driving for four straight days, we arrived in Dallas on July 4th, parked the RV in Corinth, which was the closest RV Park we could find due to the Little League World Series being held in Frisco.

Very pretty country and the road over the mountains to the campground wasn't too bad. The driveway of the campground itself was somethin...

When we left Williams on our way to Yuma, we avoided the awesome twisting (but definitely not RV friendly) road to Sedona, but we still picked a scenic route rather than the boring interstate. This proved to be more excitement than we expected when we suddenly spotted a sign indicating that vehicles more than 40 feet long were prohibited (the trailer itself is almost 43' and when towing we are close to 55’). Bill screeched to a stop on the narrow shoulder o...
