Explore America: Epic 1200-Mile RV Road Trip Through Five States | Our Journey Home

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

THANK YOU for sharing your real world RV adventure. Documenting a fast paced trip isn’t easy, but it is much appreciated. Lou

[@thewanderingshores]

Thanks Lou, it was a whirlwind and glad that crazy amount of driving is over well at least for now. Probably will be similar when we head back West

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

The cones used while lot docking on Day 3 are a nice touch. Safety plus keep the dim witted from parking too close.

[@thewanderingshores]

So glad you noticed that we've been carrying around those collapsible cones since we hit the road and found so many uses for them. There originally was four, but we are now down to two. One of them more recently got run over by one of the staff at the gategarden gig, but they work great and don't take up any space

[@BetterWayLiving]

Jim and Carrie! We stayed there in 2021! As soon as you pulled in I knew where you were. ❤

[@thewanderingshores]

Thats awesome, glad we could find some free places along the way back, helps lessen the expense of gas some. Thanks for watching- Kyle and Michelle

[@melodyassaro]

Love chic fa la sauce so good with pretzels. Glad you made it home safe and enjoy the family time. Can’t wait to see you

[@thewanderingshores]

So good, thanks Melody, it was an adventure but glad to be still for a while. See you soon

[@karenfromil]

Safe travels to you!

[@thewanderingshores]

Thank you so much. Travel days can be fun but stressful at the same time.

[@rene-ro6oe]

We went to Buccees for the first time. Everyone will know now!!! Happy you guys made it. 😍 Enjoy your friends and family!!!

[@thewanderingshores]

Hope you got some delicious food. Add buc-ee's. Yes The word is out that we're back in town, so I don't know that we can keep the secret much longer from people. Enjoy Pennsylvania

[@briansteinwand8097]

Safe travels and enjoy friends/family. May 1st is our last day of gate guarding,4 months without a day off, start our 2,000+ mile trek to Seattle

[@thewanderingshores]

You guys are machines, no way to we could do 4 months straight, 45 to 60 days might be our cap. But we will likely do it again. Safe travels back to the PNW... Seattle is my favorite town.. Go Hawks. My dad grew up in Port Angeles and we have a ton of family that lives in Bellingham.

[@bobanddangsjourney]

Its great that you guys are on the way. That boondockers welcome looks really nice - love pecans. Bummer about the gas expenses - but at least you aren't in California! I wonder how that gasbuddy card would work on our upcoming trip to Alaska - I need to research that. Really like how you guys showed off the places to stop on the trip - we have taken note for a future trip we may take. Wow -that is such a long time since visiting family - happy for you to be able to visit. This was a great trip - and well documented - Thanks for sharing! Bob and Dang

[@thewanderingshores]

Thanks you guys, can't wait to watch your trip to AK. I'm not sure how well that Gasbuddy card will work on the way up there, my guess is that most of the gasstations along the way don't have a motivation to participate since they are the only show in town. You are right, the cost of gas is bad but you guys have it horrible in Cali. Thanks for watching and commenting always means the world to us.- Kyle and Michelle

[@theaustinstravel]

The one and only time I'll see the inside of a Buccees is from your video 🤣 Can't believe you both ate carbs!

[@thewanderingshores]

I have a sneaking suspension that will get you in a buc-ee's at some point. Yes, you are right. We were eating carbs and it caught up to us. I was feeling sugar crash pretty soon after that but it sure was delicious. Thanks for watching! Can't wait to catch up with you guys soon- Kyle and Michelle

[@wondererschasinghorizons]

Safe travels, we feel you on the wind and low mpg, we hit a head wind in utah, got 5 mpg the last fill up. Be safe and we'll see you both down the road someday.

[@thewanderingshores]

Safe travels to you guys as well. Hope to see you out on the road soon. I know your destination is a secret but once it is revealed who knows we may be near you later this year. - Kyle and Michelle

[@edwardtesterman9772]

Hello !! Vicky here! That was a quick trip for sure. I bet you were so tired of driving, Kyle ! Michelle, do you drive some of the time? Love seeing the kitties! Im glad to hear Niko, was out and about in the back seat with you! Michelle , your little chez and lunchmeat roll up looked tasty! I make those for my husband, Ed. We take them with us in the summer when we go to the beach for the day. I would go crazy at a Buc-ee's ! omg all those different foods in there to grab & eat ! I have never been in one, but really wanting to check one out. Wow, the Casino's sounded great......I would be in there....yes, yes I do gamble. No gambling problem's Im glad to say, I love all the lights too! I dont blow that much really ... I will spend my little money on a couple of slot machines! that I like lol Wow, love pecans (I say, Pea-CON's not Pea-CAN's lol) How nice of your sister to let you guys stay there! Sounds fun!! Well, you guys take it easy, relax and enjoy! I'll be watching for your video's !! Catch ya later !! vicky

[@thewanderingshores]

Thank you so much Vicky, you are right I (kyle) was tired of driving after those 4 days. Michelle dosen't want to drive it really makes her nervous plus it makes me even more nervous sitting in the passenger seat. That cats did great on the trip and we will always have this video now about Nikko's last road trip with us. We miss him terribly.- Kyle and Michelle

[@AmputeeAdventureChannel]

Apparently we drove through tornadoes in Nebraska and Iowa on Friday. It was SUPER windy but I didn't know about the storms until we got to Michigan

[@thewanderingshores]

I saw all the tornados on instagram yesterday, so glad you guys made it safe and outran the storms. That extra long travel day in Iowa and Illinois probably helped get you out of the way.

[@AmputeeAdventureChannel]

@thewanderingshores for sure!! I almost stopped in Eastern Iowa for the night but didnt.. then I thought I might as well get thru Chicago.. and then Michigan isn't far from there really.

[@Wisdomcalls1]

Welcome back from Muncie,........Indiana home of the pot holes.. Lol.

[@thewanderingshores]

You're so close, we're staying here in Chesterfield, even closer than Anderson 🙂 you're right, we've driven all over the country and Indiana literally has the worst roads of any state we've been in. It's ridiculous- Kyle and Michelle

[@airstreamer]

We’re heading north too! We need to be in Holland, MI by June first. Take care and maybe we will meet up on the road.

[@thewanderingshores]

Safe travels, I have been to Holland several times from my time living in Toledo and exploring Michigan. Have an amazing summer.

[@airstreamer]

@@thewanderingshores Holland is my boyhood home. It was a great place to grow up. We will be campground hosts at Holland State Park for the month of June. -Jim

[@ouRVisionnomadicliving]

I know, and I wont go. I am not a fan of Buc-ces. I just do not feel that they cater to the RV Lifestyle and as such, refuse to patronize them. Hey, good to know about the Hard Rock in Tusla as I collect Hard Rock pins. Well, you know what they say, there is no place like home. Enjoy seeing friends and family. Sean & Angie

[@thewanderingshores]

Thanks Sean, it was a long four days but glad to be back home.
