adventures with a dog and an airstream
We were in West Memphis in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our two previous trips to Memphis in 2020 here and 2017 here. This is one of my favorite quick stops on the I-40 slog through...
We were in Spadra in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. J was looking at the map along I-40 to find our next overnight between Tulsa and Memphis, and he zeroed in on a recreation area on a lake...
We were in Tulsa in early November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Tulsa’s not quiiiite on the way home to VA from AZ, but it’s well worth the extra hour of driving if you’re traveling I-40 through Oklahoma, as...

We were in Alamogordo at the beginning of November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Heading east from Tucson, you can’t not stop at White Sands National Park. Well, you CAN not stop–we’ve driven past it twice now and not...
We were in Tucson at the beginning of November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our first trip in 2019 here, and our second in 2021 here. We weren’t supposed to go to Tucson during Big Trip #4....
We were in Palm Springs in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. The main reason we wanted to go to Palm Springs as we headed east from Oceanside on the coast was for its signature Desert Modern architecture–the...
We visited Oceanside in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. When we first started planning Big Trip #4, it looked quite different from what it became: our original plan sent us east after Crater Lake and south...
