After spending a day in Hot Springs we packed up the trailer and moved to a new campground just outside that city since it would be a good jumping point for a quick trip across the reservation to Wounded Knee on our way to our midway return point.
Aside from the move the day was pretty relaxing and the campground was beautiful. We decided not to cook for lunch and instead check out a cool brew pub we passed on the way to the campground. That was interesting. The menu had many items crossed off the pages and the monitors on the wall that indicate what beers where available held very few choices. It turns out the place was closing down at the end of the week. :( The food was delicious though and the beers we tried were quite good and unique. I'd suggest trying the raspberry Jalapeno beer, but alas no chance for that any longer. They also had a cool gimmick where they could can a 32 oz of beer to take home with you a "crowler" if you will. I got two.
After that the day was pretty much just R&R and we sat outside and cooked some dinner on the grill.
Indian Taco - Fry bread with Taco fixin's
They offer(ed) beer "Pallets" for tasting. Very good!
A nice afternoon to smoke my pipe after a good meal!
Karen and I decided to forgo the trip to Gettysburg again this year. Last year it was the kitchen nightmare, this year it's timing. We couldn't work out the timing and logistics with work and things going on around the house to get ready for AZ. I'm kinda bummed, yet I'm excited at the same time because we are working on some things that may have a big impact on this blog in the future! We won't spill the beans, but we have some cool things planned for AZ and elsewhere this winter and maybe even a bigger announcement sometime next year! 2020 has been a disappointment to a almost everyone and especially to those that love to travel. It's encouraging to see the surge of new RV owners out there learning to love the lifestyle we've embraced. If you are new to RV camping Welcome! If not, remember to be patient and help out the new guys, you were in that boat before. Happy travels! Be Safe! Wear a Mask! Don't take candy f...
We had a great two weeks in Michigan. It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time. It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving. Still it was a good time. Plans from here? Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again. This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around. The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ! More to come as we get closer. Karen and her Mom chilling at camp Tyler We had a special visitor! Sunset behind us lights up the tops of the trees Puppy Tax. No it's not ours. My Buddy Shannon and his family just got this cutie. She's adorable.
I can't believe it's almost August and time to start accelerating our plans for heading back to AZ for the winter. We have the campground booked starting November 1st and that seems both far away and right around the corner at the same time. Of course with all that is going on right now it makes planning a little more challenging, but we are forging ahead. We've found traveling in an RV to be probably one of the safer ways to go especially on long trips. Here are a couple of reasons why we like the RV for travel during a pandemic. 1. Gotta Go? Use the trailer! - Those long drives are often punctuated with stops for fuel and those stops almost always involve someone using the bathroom. If you travel with an RV you have your own bathroom and you don't have to risk exposing yourself to the maskless horde. Just jump in the trailer and use the facilities while the tank is topping off. 2. Hungry? Use the trailer! - Fuel stops also provide ...
