Stop #32 – Benson, AZ

Moving east, we set our sights on Tucson.  But, the drive to Tucson was a little too far for one day (we move sloooooow, remember?).  Billy has a cousin who is a pastor in the little snowbird town of Benson, AZ so we decided to stop there for Saturday night.  This was...

Stop #31 – White Sands, NM

We decided to be in San Diego for Christmas, since Carrington could easily fly into the airport there from Richmond.  We thought it would be fun to then drive to Los Angeles, especially since her roommate lives there and would be home during their Christmas break! ...

So here is the aforementioned black tank dump. Honestly, it wasn't bad.  All of the pipes connected like they were supposed to, therefore we had no big crap explosions or anything that Billy's nightmares were made of. Basically in the bus we have three tanks.  One is...

Ellie here..... We arrived at our first campsite on May 31st.  It was called Flanner's Beach, and it was AWESOME.  Each site was separated by tall, leafy trees that our dog loved to sniff around in.  There were fun walking/biking trails that took you deep in the...
