White Sands National Park
Feb 4th, 2025 White Sands National Park, New Mexico, was a place that made us grateful for our trip three times in the same day — we did not expect it to be so beautiful!! In the Dominican Republic, you have those stunning white sand beaches. Here at White Sands, there’s no water, but the…

Carlsbad Caverns
Feb 2nd – Feb 3rd, 2025 Carlsbad Caverns National Park was a recommendation from another Canadian that we met at the campground in Marfa, a retired professional photographer that visited Marfa once and ended up spending his winters there for the past 15 years. He is not the only Canadian we met that visited a…

Houston
Jan 13-22nd, 2025 It might seem like we stayed in Houston for a long time, but in reality, it was just Meeko, our truck, and our trailer that stayed longer— not us. As we mentioned in our previous posts, the whole reason for rushing from Florida to Houston was to leave Meeko with a friend…

Isla Blanca Park
Jan 9-13th, 2025 After two long days on the road, with a stop in Corpus Christi, we finally reached Isla Blanca Park on South Padre Island. We were welcomed by beautiful sunshine but also a cold wind — it felt like just a few degrees above zero. Fortunately, we also had some warm days while…

Fort Anahuac Park
Jan 6-7th, 2025 After a couple of nights spent in two different places on the road, we got close to Houston, Texas.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness
Dec 6-11th, 2024 We don’t want to make our trip about campgrounds. It’s not about avoiding publicity for them — it’s about the fact that our journey is meant to be more than just campgrounds. But this one was special, and it deserves its own post… because the people made it magical. The campground was…

Jekyll Island
Dec 2nd-3rd, 2024 Jekyll Island, Georgia, was a pleasant surprise. We decided to stop there on our way to Florida to break up the long drive into two parts. After some research, Pascal found this campground, located almost halfway between Hilton Head Island and our next destination, Cape Canaveral. Once we arrived, we wished we…

Rocher-Percé
July 28-30th, 2024 After spending one night in Cap-Chat, we took the coastline of Gaspésie and headed to Rocher-Percé. The coastline was nice, but after a while… well, everything started to look very similar to the last little village we passed, the last cliff we saw, or that lighthouse… The coastline was not as spectacular…

Cap-Chat
July 27-28th, 2024 After crossing the Saint Laurent River, we decided to head a bit north so that we would have less driving to do the following day. We found a campground in Cap-Chat. *On the ferry from Godbout to Matane It is fair to say there isn’t much to do in Cap-Chat… it’s a…
