We Did It! Camping in our Ollie 2 months….

[Steve and Mary]

Well, we’ve had many great week or weekend trips since getting our Ollie in Sep 2021 but we just returned home from our first two month traveling and fell in love with our Ollie all over again! What a wonderful way to go on adventures!  Our first day was Wed April 10th and we arrived back this past Fri June 7th.  Way too many photos to upload but will try to insert a few.  Our stops included:

1) Keystone State Park, Sand Springs, OK - visiting family and grandkids. 
2) Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas    
3) Chupadero RV Park, San Antonio, NM.   
4) Fool Hollow State Park, Show Low, AZ.   
5) Lost Dutchman State Park, AZ.   
6) White Tank Mountain Regional Park, AZ. 
7) Dead Horse Ranch State Park, AZ.   
8) Desert View Campground, South rim of Grand Canyon.   
9) Mesa Verde RV Resort, CO.      
10) Love’s RV Stop, Walsenburg, CO.    
11) Historic Lake Scott State Park, KS.   
12) Wilson State Park, KS.   
13) Milford Lake State Park, KS.   
14) Eisenhower State Park, KS.   
15) Cracker Barrel, Independence, MO.    
16) Dr Edmund A Babler Memorial State Park, Chesterfield, MO

We set up camp, relaxed, looked at historical sites, biked, visited friends and relatives, and were wondering why we were ending it so soon.  Our Ollie was a trooper through the mountains, we took Rte 60 through New Mexico and Arizona, and put some 3,800 miles on it during the two months.  We stopped in Pie Town and of course bought an apple pie.  We toured Sedona, Jerome, and rode the Verde Canyon Train.  We camped on the edge of the Grand Canyon, toured through Mesa Verde, and even weathered tornado warnings in Kansas.  Great trip! Wonderful memories made.

Looks like a great trip. Curious: where do you put the litter box?

We have the nightstand that has the lower door going into the basement.  While set up camping everything stored in the basement is removed (hoses, etc) and the litter box is put in, cleaned daily from the outside opening.  During transit the litter box sits on the floor behind passenger seat.  Works great for us.

Perhaps a fall foliage trip in NY and NH and then down to friends in NC.
