Have you driving on a stressful road? How did you deal with it? Safe travels- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Great point to slow down and a lot of State Parks were not build for Big Rigs. Loved the video
Hi guys! Slowing down is a big help! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Thanks for taking us along! Those winding roads can be tiresome after a long travel day.
Safe and happy travels!
Brendan & Lena
It's like you finally are right there & a slap in the face! 😆 - Some of the last miles can be the most stressful! Safe travels friends- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Great advice! We always expect the worst road conditions when traveling to a new state park.
That's a great plan just go in thinking it will be bad and then be happy when it isn't! 😜 Thanks guys! Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Those parks look amazing! On our list for when we’re in that area!!
Both are nice! And they are the perfect distance apart from one another as you travel! But Kansas is boring to drive through! 😜 Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
That harvest host looks like a great spot to stop over night. That road looks like some of the roads in Door County. Another great game last night 🏈🏈Go Pack Go 🏈🏈 Thanks From Wisconsin
There are roads like that in Door County for sure- the one through Peninsula State Parl! And still can't believe we won! Go Packers!! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

When Lisa and I left full time in 2020 stayed 2 weeks at El Dorado. In fact went thru there yesterday heading to our home base in Claflin Ks.
El Dorado was nice- not a lot to do there, but still nice. Glad you made it to your home base & happy holidays- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
@@ChasingOurSunshine happy Holidays
We have All Trails and experience the same thing. It can’t be trusted. LOL! Nice hikes though! And end it with a beer or bourbon. I like it! 🥃
We say add a couple of miles on with All Trails 😜 and always best to end with beer or bourbon! 🙌 Cheers- Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Great looking state parks even if it's a little wonky getting to them! 😊 Thankfully we're retired and in no hurry, right 😁
We love state parks- but some of the roads are sketchy!! 🤣 We are in the same boat- retired and zero reason to rush! Thanks guys- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Thank you for another fun video, I think of all RV couples I follow to learn this lifestyle,..you guys eat the most delicious foods!😊
We may have to re-think about getting a big 5th wheel to live in,..we have been looking & studying RV's for over 3 years, & realize that if we go "BIG", we may lose some freedoms to roam better,...anyways..you guys are great! Can't believe packers won again!!??, I gave up on the Vikings long time ago!-Jen & Kurt , MN
When we first started researching we went back and forth between a 5th and a motorhome. We love our Tiffin & at 35 ft we can get to some places the Big Rigs can't. But still, times that we are too big! Glad we can help you guys on your journey & Smart to be doing research! We recommend going to the Minneapolis RV Show in Jan/Feb! Sit in the RVs there and see what makes you feel like your home! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
We definitely want to try to start staying at some state parks, good to know there are some that fit bigger rigs.
They can be a little stressful to drive into- but doable! We hands down love staying in them. Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Just found you, new subscriber! We often do the same thing for lunch or even dinner- make a charcuterie. - Michelle
Hi guys! So glad you found us! Us being from Wisconsin, we love our cheese & charcuterie boards! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Hey guys dont know how we missed this one. Really liked the driving advice and following with a drink excellent advice! We love doing movie quotes that was a great one Joel! Oh my goodness I felt so bad when you were talking how tired and sore you are but luckily the next place has a hot tub cause was that the place that they closed it? Oh my that would then be even more disappointing. Very interesting on the toll booths and the tickets. Thanks for taking us along enjoying the trips!
Glad you enjoyed it and once done with the stressful driving it's time for a cocktail! Yes, the hot tub was closed!!lol Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
We would love to stay at that harvest host.
It was a good one and save it to your favorites to remember!! Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
@@ChasingOurSunshine we will. Anything about air museums or museums period.
@@RickandDarcirvadventures Joel agrees & loves anything involving airplanes ✈️
@@ChasingOurSunshine rick loves airplanes that’s why I was in the Air Force
We have definitely been on some sketchy roads. Google Maps took us on an 8 mile logging road in the UP of Michigan to get to our campground up there.
A logging road would not be good! We have a lot of those in Wisconsin!! At least it did get you there and not just dead end in the woods! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Sounds like a quiet Harvest Host. Yeah, definitely need a bear after conversing some of the roads leading to your sites. Sounds like a good road trip travling South. We've camped quite a bit in Missouri since Sara and mike lived there for so long, but we haven't camped at many of their state parks. We haven't camped much in Kansas. The hot tub will really help that calf muscle. 😂. Good to know about the EZ Pass and the friendliest toll guy in the history of toll guys. Be sare, Bill and DeAnna.
The roads to get into some State campgrounds can be stressful to drive! Cracking a beer does help once there and set up! 🍻 We had nice stays at both State Parks- but Maya liked the hiking better in Missouri! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Stressful roads are a big reason we downsized. Kansas City can be a nightmare to drive through. Last time we drove it, they rerouted the freeway for construction and we had no idea what to do because our GPS wasn't acting right.
No that would be stressful and especially with your 5th wheel!! Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
You really found a couple of nice state parks. We hate driving through Kansas. It is so flat and boring. Lynn and Danny
We stayed a a couple of nice state parks! Kansas is so boring! 😜 Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Kansas City, MO is my hometown! I lived there until my early 20's. We are headed there in a couple of weeks for Christmas!
Kris, @BigDogRV
Deb’s sister lived in KS for a year. Glad you guys are getting to spend the holidays with family! Safe travels- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
👍🏻👏
Hi! Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
big rig? lol!
Yep! 👍 Thanks- Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
We don't like all the overgrown trees and low-hanging branches. We have met another rig on a tight road and it is not fun at all. Inquiring minds want to know, is this considered a DDD because of the flying bird poop? ~ Shion and Matthew
A lot of the campgrounds, private or governmental need to cut back their trees! We pray the whole way on the tight road not to meet anyone! This was not a DDD! lol Thanks - Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
