Taking Winter RV Life to the EXTREME (COLD) I’m entering my seventh winter RV’ing in the mountains. Just a few weeks ago, I was traveling across Washington State enjoying some amazing Autumn weather. When folks you encounter find out you’re a “full timer”, they inevitably ask if you head SOUTH for the winter. And I …
The First Snow Has Fallen on Grand Teton National Park – Just minutes north of where my RV and I are staying for the winter… The road to Jenny Lake is closed, the National Park entry gates are unmanned, and the traffic is largely GONE! Is there anything to do here? Absolutely! Walk – Hike …
Winter RV Camping – In the Mountains… I always try to arrive at my winter destination a few weeks before the weather turns stormy and cold. Seeing that I choose to spend winter near great ski areas in the mountains, and not on some concrete pad in southern Arizona, its important to “beat the weather.” …
Anthony Lake on October 30 – deserted & snowy?! Dateline: October 30 – a damp, but promising early morning in La Grande, Oregon with a planned (short) hike around Anthony Lake (about 35 miles away.) Temperatures in La Grande were reasonably mild (mid 40’s) with the promise of some sun during the day. As autumn …
Boulder Creek Lodge – Hall, Montana Boulder Creek Lodge is run by a wonderful couple with an amazing story. For those who visit, I’ll let Patrick tell you his story. I was last here in 2015, that time without my (old) camper as it was in rehab in Helena (landing gear issues). I stayed one …

Evans Campground – Roosevelt National Recreation Area It’s late afternoon, the sun is playing hide and seek with clouds, the breeze is quite present as I sit lakefront at a site with a million-dollar view – and its all mine for the next week (or so)! I’m here to enjoy the pristine environment, paddle a-lot …
Lonesomehurst “NFS” Campground & a new toy!! Wow – its been quite a day! A new bicycle seat install yesterday (much more on this soon), then kayaking a new lake this morning in a NEW kayak (more on this below!), a test ride on my (relatively) new bicycle and brand new bike seat this afternoon, …
The Town of Dubois Wyoming – Gateway to Yellowstone & Teton National Parks and the town of Jackson… A small town (about 1000 folks) situated about 70 miles east of Jackson and Yellowstone, but without the congestion of Jackson (or the expense.) Since West Yellowstone (also expensive – rv sites in excess of $70/night) is …
On The Road Again – and a brief taste of Autumn Strong thunderstorms followed by a windy night that felt colder than it was. It was an autumnal wind. The first I’ve felt in months, and my first night “on the road” after leaving my RV consulting job at the now failing RV dealership in …
