We've been planning this RV trip for several months. I've always wanted to take a roadtrip around all the states and Hollie was willing to let me plan this. This chance to see most of the Southwest is the first part of achieving that goal.
We're renting a 2009 25' Diesel Fleetwood Pulse from Craig Smith RV Showroom in Galion,
OHIO and starting off on Thursday March 26th. We'll be heading down through
KENTUCKY and
TENNESSEE then over through
ARKANSAS before picking up Hollie's sister Leanna and her husband John in
LOUISIANA. Except for the night we stay at Leanna and John's place and the night we camp near our final destination in Colorado, we're going to stay overnight in Walmart parking lots. This will help keep our costs down. By Saturday, the four of us will head over into
TEXAS then up to see
OKLAHOMA, but we'll pass through Texas again on our way to
NEW MEXICO. Sunday evening we should arrive in Cortez,
COLORADO and check into the Sundance RV Park. The next morning we're going to go see the Four Corners where you can stand in four states at once (
NEW MEXICO, COLORADO, ARIZONA and
UTAH). Then we will see Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado where there are ancient Indian dwellings carved into the side of cliffs. On the way home we'll pass through
KANSAS,
MISSOURI,
ILLINOIS and
INDIANA.
We are going to take a lot of pictures and some video. I specifically want to take some landscape shots in each state to turn into panoramas when we get back.
