High Flyin’ Over Havasu

If you don’t already know…we are somewhat of adventure junkies!  Lake Havasu City is giant playground in the desert of Arizona, so naturally we have to try everything! This is my first time in an ultralight plane and as you can tell, I am loving it!  I especially like to have my head in the clouds.  Jason [...]

Real Fuel Economy of the Monaco Vesta

How to Enter and Win – Best of the Road

With the launch of the 2012 Best of the Road competition, we have been flooded with questions about how we won.  So here it goes… We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we entered the 2011 Best of the Road competition.  We didn’t know that we would have some of our [...]

A Lost Civilization at Casa Grande

One of our favorite parts about a road trip is the small stops along the way.  We always bring up a map, look for roadside attractions or national monuments and add them as via points along our route.  We have found some of our favorite spots and towns this way.  Casa Grande was just a [...]

The Cost of Living full time on the Road

What is the cost of living on the Road in an RV? Surprisingly it’s a lot more than we expected. For this road trip we knew we would have to adjust lifestyle a lot!  We saved our money for years to take this trip across the US and we knew we’d have to be more [...]
