Ellsworth AFB - Jewel Cave - 2024

 Another cave tour in the books. I am amazed at how each cave we tour is unique.

We made it home to AZ. After fueling up, we rolled into our yard and you could see it had been ignored. It will take us a bit to catch up especially in the heat. We purchased our 40' Class A RV in January of this year. I had a work trip in late January and then COVID hit so were not able to take it out and enjoy it. I had another work trip to Wisconsin in June and August so we worked it out that we would live in our RV during those 6 weeks rather than me flying, renting a car and staying in hotels. Additionally, I had vacation and 2 weeks of furlough so in between the June and August times I needed to be in Wisconsin we traveled out to Washington state and back to Wisconsin.  Our first long trip came to an end on August 21. This trip has proved that we can do this on a more full-time basis. Check out the details of our trip... We were on the road 85 days. We we slept in 18 states. We visited 2 National Parks and 2 State Parks We stayed at 8 Harvest Hosts, 4 COE's (Army Core of ...

After we left Corpus Christi, Texas in early May, we drove to Livingston, Texas to pick up our mail at Escapees Mail Service location. We spent the night at an Escapees campground going through 2 months of mail. Our next 2 nights we stayed at a really cool COE (Burns Run) in Cartwright Oklahoma, this site has been added to one of our favorites. We look forward to checking out the water in our kayak. Then it was on to Tulsa. We stayed at a really nice RV resort. The sites were all different due to the terrain. Echo was very intrigued by mouse hole. The last weekend on the road we met up with my very first friend Sharon and her husband Mark at a State Park in Lawrence Kansas Unfortunately, we had a power issue so we were without power all weekend but still had a great time. Next was our scheduled service appointment at Winnebago Service Center in Forest City, Iowa; we were scheduled to get all of our warranty work finished that we had been waiting on forever.  Fortunately, our power ...
