Day 15: July 11, 2025 – Oakdale, WI to Girard, PA Endless road before us—today was all about forward motion, even when circumstances tried to prevent it. We went the distance… got delayed… and then went even more distance, making this our longest travel day of the trip. It was fate (and a bit ofContinue reading “Glacier and Banff Day 15: The Distance”

Glacier and Banff Day 13: All the Small Things
Day 13: July 9, 2025 – Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to Jamestown, North Dakota We left the wide-open spaces of Canada behind and crossed back into the U.S., trading kilometers for miles and maple leaves for stars and stripes. It was a day of windshield time, grain silos, and horizon-chasing. Not fast, not glamorous, but steady,Continue reading “Glacier and Banff Day 13: All the Small Things”
Glacier and Banff Day 12: Nothing Else Matters
Day 12: July 8, 2025 – Banff, Alberta to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Beginning the long road home hits like a gut punch—the kind that feels both inevitable and a little heartbreaking. With every mile eastward, the mountains faded in the rearview mirror, replaced by rolling hills and endless skies. It was a quiet kind ofContinue reading “Glacier and Banff Day 12: Nothing Else Matters”
Glacier and Banff Day 7: Semi-Charmed Life
Day 7: July 3, 2025, Many Glacier, East Glacier National Park Was today charming? Sort of. Was it a mess? Also yes. We nursed blisters, laughed too hard, hung out with a moose or two, and nearly had to hitchhike back to camp. But honestly? We wouldn’t change a thing (well, maybe one thing). ThisContinue reading “Glacier and Banff Day 7: Semi-Charmed Life”
Glacier and Banff Day 6: Black Hole Sun
Date: July 2, 2025Location: Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park The landscape turned dramatic, the sky brooded, and the mountains looked like they were pulled from Middle Earth. There’s something humbling about Glacier’s scale—it pulls you in, quiets the noise, and makes you feel small in the best way. We got up early and were onContinue reading “Glacier and Banff Day 6: Black Hole Sun”
Glacier and Banff Day 5: Even Flow
Day 5: July 1, 2025, Malta, MT – Two Medicine Campground, Glacier National Park Today was mellow, with smooth roads, scenic overlooks, and a surprisingly chill family vibe. Nothing dramatic, nothing broken, and only one passive-aggressive comment about parking the camper. From scenic Montana buttes and prairie towns to the first glimpses of the Rockies,Continue reading “Glacier and Banff Day 5: Even Flow”
Glacier to Banff Day 2: Kickstart My Heart
Day 2, June 28, 2025 – Westfield, NY – Poplar Grove, INWe hit the road at 7:30 AM, coffee in hand and the day stretching wide ahead of us. A long haul was in store, but the promise of roadside oddities, small-town charm, and one very cool vintage airplane hangar made it worth every mile.Continue reading “Glacier to Banff Day 2: Kickstart My Heart”

Day 1, June 27, 2025 – Canton, CT – Westfield, NY It’s always a big day when the key turns and the engine hums to life for the first day of a new trip—that low, familiar rumble that signals the beginning of another adventure. This time, though, the trip feels different. For starters, Kevin (ourContinue reading “Glacier & Banff Day 1: Send Me On My Way”
We Ride at Dawn (or 9:30ish)
Departure day is bittersweet. It signals the end of vacation, but it also signals the countdown to sleeping in your own bed (the best feeling EVEEEEERRRRR!!!). Usually it’s just me and Rob enjoying that last cup of camper coffee (nothing like it!) and stowing everything in its place. Everything has its place in the camper. Continue reading “We Ride at Dawn (or 9:30ish)”
Virginia is for Rv’ers
Let’s start this blog entry with a pop quiz: Based on the paint transfer you see here on Kevin’s left rear bumper, name the gas station/convenience store chain where Rob dinged the gas pump? Hint: They have pretty delicious coffee. Bonus points if you can identify the number of minutes Rob thought the world wasContinue reading “Virginia is for Rv’ers”
