On the road again…

We’re on our way across country for the 10th time in five years, heading east to New York to see our children and eleven grandchildren, but first a trip to LA to spend some precious time with our California kids and new grandchild #12!!!

First we plan:

This is our 2nd Road Atlas which we purchased at Walmart. It has many features that work for RVers: easy to read mileage, locations of their stores with the road exit numbers and also notates which have gas stations, pharmacies and food, and those that allow overnight parking and more…

Now the planning begins…

… and after a few changes and a couple of hours, we have a tentative route! Phew!

There are several RV Membership Clubs available that offer discount rates on campground sites, Good Sam’s Club is the one we first started with after purchasing our RV, it’s reasonable and gives discount at Camping World, Gander Outdoors & Overton’s retail locations for your camping needs.

We’ve found that it’s always better to have options so we purchased membership in another RV Club to give us more versatility so we chose Passport America

Sometimes we just need a good meal and a place to get some sleep 😴. So there is another place that we check out, Cracker Barrel, and they supply a complimentary map with all their locations and and highlight those that provide a spot a RV to spend the night. Oh did I add they have good home cooked food at reasonable prices!

So, this is how we begin our trip… but for now we’re calling it a night, morning comes early and it’s important to get a good rest before we head out. Check back for our next Blog Post…thanks for following.
