What national park do you dream of visiting?

We would love to do an across country visit of various parks. For this opportunity we would love to see Yosemite National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, Zion National Park, Grand Canyon, and Bryce Canyon National Park.We are so ready to escape on an R-ving Adventure to exchange the hustle and bustle of life, for the tranquillity of a driving holiday to revel in the peacefulness and idyllic surroundings of amazing National parks.There is so much beauty around us, even only doing short hikes.

What has been your favorite adventure experience?

We went across Canada and back through the states in a minivan pulling a 1969 tent trailer. We had three small children and definitely had the worst looking tent trailer in any campsite we went to, except one place LOL Every time we set the trailer up the canvas would rip. We used a roll of duct tape, and had five flat tires. Our 2 1/2 year old rolled out the side one night. We visited Niagara Falls, Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, and Yellowstone. We also visited 38 relatives.

What would you do with $10,000?

Some money would be spent on hiking and footwear for my wife and I. Making life easier for my wife’s mobility issues. We would have to try many cafes for coffee and teas and support artisans. I also feel it’s imperative to donate to different preservations causes along the journey at the different national parks that we go to. Preservation is so important. There is so much beauty around us, and we need to maintain stunning scenery, compelling heritage stories, and unique national environments.
