Allen and LeAnne Travels

NOTE: The following is written for those that plan to purchase a TOPO2 trailer. It originally contained many things that are now in the owners manual. So I have removed anything from this blog that you can find in the owners manual. If you want to read the owners manual, you can find it here:…

Homeward bound Tuesday, February 28th: We looked at the weather and northern Arizona, Las Vegas, and Utah was going to get hit by another snow/rain storm the next day.  The storm in Utah had the high prospect of shutting down I-15 in the high passes that we needed to travel through to get to Salt…

Sunday, February 19th: The first part of our route this day took us along the Rio Grande.  Allen’s brother-in-law Dave had told us that 170 was a beautiful drive.  He was right!  So glad we changed plans and drove that way. Here are some of the better pictures of the area.  You can see the…

Tuesday, February 14th: We took off from Marathon, Texas and arrived in Big Bend National Park 40 minutes later.  We had filled up the tank the night before in Marathon, but being paranoid, we went to fill up in the park before we headed to our back country camp ground.  The power was out, so…

Tuesday, February 7th: Well, it was finally time to leave Minnesota and the two feet of snow we had on the ground.  Mother nature did not go quietly, she gave us an ice storm the night before we left.  Thankfully, it was mixed with a light amount of snow, so we could drive out of…

Well, I am finally done with gardening for the year, so I have time to catch up on our camping blogs. We decided to take Betsy Pod out to see the Minnesota fall colors. We went twice, once the end of September (went North), and then again near the end of October (went south). We…

August 29th, after picking up fruit that they are famous for growing in Yakima WA, we headed east.  Along the way we decided to go an extra hour and a half to get to Twin Falls, ID instead of stopping at Boise.  So, we would get in early to Coalville for the repairs we needed…

August 26th, my brother Elon took us for a walk on the trails near his place to Quiet Place Park.  It overlooked the ocean and had named trees in it. Along the walk we saw this beautiful Herb-Robert flower. The park was filled with ferns and you could see the ocean. This is a Red…

August 22nd, we left Shady Rest RV Park in Houston after taking a second shower in two days.  We feel spoiled!  That will change back to normal as we are headed to Wells Gray Provincial Park in BC today.  Long day of driving to get there, 8.5 hours – YUCK!  But it will be worth…

August 17, we left Alaska, and along the way it was neat to see the country side in bright sun shine this time around.  The first time the mountains were covered in clouds and it was raining. But the sunshine did not last, it started to rain just as we reached the nice place we…
