The roadtrips and experiences with the van were incredible. It gave us opportunities that we could only dream of when we had the much larger Freightliner motorhome. Our camping visits to Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Glacier and Death Valley were memorable! The nimbleness and spontaneity that the van offered could not overcome the lack of space when traveling for a month with two dogs AND leaving the jeep behind when you are accustomed to pounding the off roads at our various travel destinations.&nbsp; Once again, we have the living comforts of a motor home (a bedroom) , and we\u2019ll be back to venturing off the grid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14640\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260308_131455-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260308_131455-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260308_131455-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260308_131455-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260308_131455-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260308_131455-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14639\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260219_105844-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260219_105844-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260219_105844-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260219_105844-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260219_105844-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260219_105844-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple \u201chow-to\u201d for Navigation on our site is provided by two rows of Titles.

Some states have more scenic drives than others, other have more Pueblo ruins than others. We have tried to sort it out for you and guarantee that there are some places here that Google would have a hard time finding! This year we have provided a Google Map with links to the 67 Museums we have visited in our travels since we left Virginia in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alwaysondafly.com?page_id=8469\">The Never-Ending Roadtrip<\/a>&nbsp;If you like maps, you will love following our journey. The highway routes we took, where stopped along the way and where we stayed. Hopefully it will inspire others to follow our footsteps and get out on the road. This year our blogs will directly support the The Never Ending Roadtrip maps.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alwaysondafly.com?page_id=10465\">Bucketlist<\/a>.&nbsp;These pages will contain a list of \u201cCan\u2019t miss\u201d places that we have experienced. Might be a bridge, a waterfall, or a taco truck. Some \u201clists\u201d will be for a state and others will provide more granularity for a specific city or geographic area. We hope it will help others who are having a hard time deciding where to go and what to see. Deb and I would like to share as much of our travels as possible..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alwaysondafly.com?page_id=8111\">See America<\/a>.&nbsp;A summary of our annual travels, events and destinations. We continue to enjoy photography immensely. I have several options for digital photos and Deb is keenly adept at film photography, shooting medium and large format cameras and develops her craft in our motorhome. Even though its \u201cdigital\u201d, her stories on Instagram would make Charles Kuralt take notice. We provide photos in our Blog and have a separate Travel Gallery on Flickr&nbsp;for you to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage you to ask questions,<\/p>\n<p>Why we chose a certain route.<\/p>\n<p>How long to stay in Rapid City South Dakota?<\/p>\n<p>Top three things to do at Yosemite?<\/p>\n<p>Is Full time RVing for you?<\/p>\n<p>We also hope that you will provide feedback (Likes\/Dislikes) so that we can improve our website and make it more useful and beneficial for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to those that have tagged along on our journey, we look forward to your continued support and welcome to the newbies that just got here.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to see you out on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck &amp; Deb<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t<div id=\"respond\" class=\"comment-respond has-text-align-left wp-block-post-comments-form\">\n\t\t<h3 id=\"reply-title\" class=\"comment-reply-title\">Leave a Reply <small><a rel=\"nofollow\" id=\"cancel-comment-reply-link\" href=\"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F12158#respond\" style=\"display:none;\">Cancel reply<\/a><\/small><\/h3><form action=\"https:\/\/alwaysondafly.com\/wp-comments-post.php\" method=\"post\" id=\"commentform\" class=\"comment-form\"><p class=\"comment-notes\"><span id=\"email-notes\">Your email address will not be published.<\/span> <span class=\"required-field-message\">Required fields are marked <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"comment-form-comment\"><label for=\"comment\">Comment <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <textarea id=\"comment\" name=\"comment\" cols=\"45\" rows=\"8\" maxlength=\"65525\" required><\/textarea><\/p><p class=\"comment-form-author\"><label for=\"author\">Name <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"author\" name=\"author\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"245\" autocomplete=\"name\" required \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-email\"><label for=\"email\">Email <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"email\" name=\"email\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"100\" aria-describedby=\"email-notes\" autocomplete=\"email\" required \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-url\"><label for=\"url\">Website<\/label> <input id=\"url\" name=\"url\" type=\"url\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"200\" autocomplete=\"url\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"form-submit wp-block-button\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" value=\"Post Comment\" \/> <input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='12158' id='comment_post_ID' \/>\n<input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' \/>\n<\/p><p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"akismet_comment_nonce\" name=\"akismet_comment_nonce\" value=\"c297e96a98\" \/><\/p><p style=\"display: none !important;\" class=\"akismet-fields-container\" data-prefix=\"ak_\"><label>&#916;<textarea name=\"ak_hp_textarea\" cols=\"45\" rows=\"8\" maxlength=\"100\"><\/textarea><\/label><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"ak_js_1\" name=\"ak_js\" value=\"25\"\/><script>\ndocument.getElementById( \"ak_js_1\" ).setAttribute( \"value\", ( new Date() ).getTime() );\n<\/script>\n<\/p><\/form>\t<\/div><!-- #respond -->\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deb &amp; I said farewell to Mini Pearl (Roadtrek Zion) recently and traded up for an RV that can tow the Jeep.
