Larry and June's Adventure

Seven Years on the Road — And a New Chapter Seven years after leaving the farm, we could finally put some numbers to the adventure. We had put 105,776 kilometres on the motorhome, with a total of 357 relocations along the way. We travelled through all 10 Canadian provinces and 2 of the 3 territories, […]

However, not our adventures or travelling! June 1st marked a pretty significant milestone for us. Seven years ago, we left the farm and began this whole adventure. Now, seven years later, we had officially moved into the condo for the summer. There are several reasons we’ve decided that spending our summers in a brick-and-mortar home […]

After getting back to Osoyoos, we quickly settled into a new routine that was quite different from life on the road. On May 20th, I started the day with a good climb up Anarchist Mountain, cycling 11 kilometres to the sign and gaining more than 600 metres before turning around and racing back down. June […]

On May 12th, we started the day by getting the windshield chip repaired before pulling out around 10:30. Our first stop was for gas just outside the KOA, followed by a stop at Kal Tire to get the trailer tire replaced. With that taken care of, we continued on to Castlegar. We arrived at Kootenay […]

We pulled out of Waterton Lakes National Park a little after 10:00 on May 10th, heading west toward British Columbia. The drive to Cranbrook was beautiful, with great weather and spectacular mountain scenery all the way. Our first stop was at Frank Slide, where we also stopped for gas. From there we continued on to […]

We reached the Canadian border around 11:30 and crossed into Alberta. The customs experience couldn’t have been easier—it took about a minute with the customs officer, and just like that, we were back in Canada. We stopped in Cardston for groceries before making the final 45-minute drive to Waterton Lakes National Park. Once we arrived, […]

This campground has a little bit of history—it is the original KOA campground, dating back to 1962. And with our arrival in Montana, we reached a pretty significant milestone in our travels. After six years, eleven months and two days, we had officially visited every U.S. state and every Canadian province and territory that we […]

The next morning, May 1st, we pulled out around 10:00 and headed back into South Dakota before turning north. The drive was, once again, pretty boring, with lots of barren fields stretching out in every direction. Every so often, though, we’d spot a small wild herd of antelope, which provided a welcome bit of wildlife […]

On April 30th, we headed west into Wyoming with Devil’s Tower as our destination. We drove straight there and parked in the long trailer parking area before setting out on foot to explore. We hiked around the base of Devil’s Tower on two separate trails, doing the loop twice and covering about 9.5 kilometres altogether. […]

After arriving in Rapid City the previous afternoon, we were ready to explore the Black Hills on April 29th. We headed out around 9:30 and made our way to Custer State Park, starting at the visitor centre where we learned about the park’s impressive bison herd. It wasn’t long before we got to see some […]
