Wingin' It! at Reunion Lake RV Resort

Wingin' It! at Reunion Lake RV Resort
We see a lot of RV parks that call themselves resorts with very little to show for it. Reunion Lake RV Resort in Louisiana lives up to the resort title. This is a park you need to know about. We quickly extended our stay... [Watch the Video and Read the Full Post!]

Yellowstone National Park, Part 2: Old Faithful Upper Geyser Basin

Yellowstone National Park, Part 2
Continuing our Yellowstone adventure! It's hard to think about Yellowstone National Park without thinking about Old Faithful Geyser. We were excited to visit Old Faithful to experience it in person. But we had no idea that the Old Faithful geyser would be just a small piece of all of the amazing things there are to see in this area of the park. Do not miss exploring the Upper Geyser Basin when you visit Yellowstone National Park!... [Watch the Video and Read the Full Post]

Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Theodore Roosevelt National Park
We had not heard much about Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota before we found ourselves up in that area. When we mapped out that portion of our trip, we realized that heading toward Yellowstone National Park would take us right past Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Wow! What an incredible find! We enjoyed hiking and exploring, and found a lot of wildlife. The unique geography of the area also fascinated us. And that's just the beginning... [Watch the Video and Read the Full Post]

Riding the 1880 Train: Black Hills Central Railroad

Riding the 1880 Train
We love riding vintage trains, so when we were looking for things to do in South Dakota and discovered the 1880 Train, we bought tickets right away! This 2 1/2 hour roundtrip adventure takes you through the South Dakota Black Hills between Hill City and Keystone. One of the things we liked best about this train ride was the ability to build your own adventure. And bonus: this is the oldest continuously operating standard gauge excursion train in the United States!... [Read the full post]

Devils Tower National Monument

Devils Tower National Monument
One of the strangest, most unusual places we've ever visited. Devils Tower National Monument has been on both of our bucket lists since we saw "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" back in the 1970s. Even after having visited the park, walking all around the tower, speaking to rangers and learning more about the Tower, this is a place that is really hard to wrap our heads around. In our opinion, Devils Tower should be on every traveler's bucket list!... [Read the full post]

Incredible Needles Highway | Wingin' It!, Ep 24

Needles Highway
In 1919 Peter Norbeck, the "Father of Custer State Park", planned out what would become the infamous Needles Highway on foot and on horseback. The winding path he chose took him through forests, wilderness and rock formations estimated to be more than 2 Billion years old! He chose the path he did to maximize the stunning views of the Black Hills wilderness. And guess what? It wasn't so impossible after all... [Watch the Video and Read the Full Post]

RV/MH Hall of Fame Museum, Elkhart IN

RV/MH Hall of Fame
When you're visiting Northern Indiana, be sure to stop in and tour the RV/MH Hall of Fame Museum in Elkhart, Indiana. (By the way, the "MH" in the name stands for "manufactured housing" not "motorhome".) The museum houses an impressive collection of classic tent campers, towable RVs and motorhomes.
