Rolling With Kelly & Charlie

Charlie and I participated in Fantasy RV Tours’ 15-day Polar Bear Migration trip. This was our second trip with Fantasy. Our first trip was to Alaska. Like that trip, much of our route was in remote areas, for long stretches. Because of this, we thought that it would be better to travel in a group. The trip began at the International Peace Gardens, along the US-Canada border, just north of Dunseith, North Dakota. The International Peace Garden (https://peacegarden.com/) was established…

We pulled the motorhome out of our storage unit, just down the road from our house in Hiawassee, Georgia, and hit the road on September 7th. Our first night was spent in Nashville, TN at the Elm Hill RV Resort. This is a nice RV park right on Percy Priest Reservoir. Below are pictures of our site, and the view from right behind our motorhome. We had gorgeous weather, with temps in the low 80s. Because the park isn’t too…

After visiting with our friends in Sedona, AZ we started heading eastbound. Our first stop was in Santa Fe, New Mexico where we met up with more friends; Deb & Terri. We had a great time hiking and exploring old Pueblo settlements at the Bandelier National Monument with them. The Ancestral Pueblo people built and lived in dwellings, carved into the volcanic rock, between 1150 and 1550 AD, but there is evidence of human presence in this area over 11,000…

Charlie and I revisited a few of our favorite locations and explored some new spots during a “short” 6-week road trip in April-May 2021. We had four primary destinations on our agenda: the Grand Canyon, Sedona, AZ, Santa Fe, NM, and Angel Fire, NM. Because we made numerous stops along the way I’ve decided to make this into two separate posts. The first, this one, will cover our road trip from Hiawassee, GA to the Grand Canyon, as well as…

First of all, I hope that you are all doing well during this COVID-19 pandemic. It is a difficult time for so many. I can’t believe it has been 6 months since my last post. I think I got burnt out from our fantastic trip-of-a-lifetime road trip last year. I haven’t even touched my cameras for months. That’s saying a lot! We arrived back at Mountain Falls Class-A Motorcoach Resort in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina mid October. This concluded our…

This is the last destination stop on our 2019 road trip! It is hard to believe that we left Atlanta, GA nine months ago. It has been an absolutely amazing trip and ending it at the balloon fiesta is a great way to celebrate it. We arrived in Albuquerque on Thursday, October 3rd, a couple days before the balloons were to fly. Charlie is a balloon pilot and wanted time to catch up with his balloonist friends. We did not…

September 20– October 2, 2019 Capitol Reef Charlie and I were both a little under the weather, with colds, when we arrived in Torrey, UT. Neither of us had much energy, so hiking was out of the question. We were happy to discover some great driving options in and around the park. The first is the popular Scenic Drive road. This paved road is only about 8 miles long. It is the highlight of the park, and very busy, for…

After being gone for 72 days we were looking forward to our return to the United States’ lower 48. We anticipated great cell service, lower gas prices and fabulous grocery stores. Well, that wasn’t exactly the case. We came across the Canada – US border in a remote area of northern Montana, heading towards the KOA in St. Mary, Montana. We discovered that there is absolutely no cell service all the way down to, and including, St. Mary. Bummer! While…
