    Stop 131: Wet, Wild, and Wonderful West Virginia

    April 2, 2020 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    We made it to West Virginia… the 48th and final state we are visiting on this journey. (Alaska and Hawaii will come in future trips.) We had planned to spend a bit more time traveling through the state and exploring more of its beauty, but Covid-19 and the fears and

    Stop 129: Tennessee Travels

    March 16, 2020 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    We started our exploration of state #46, Tennessee, in the Chattanooga area. (Technically, we actually were in Tennessee briefly when we visited the Great Smoky Mountains National Park a few weeks ago.) Tennessee became the 16th state of the United States in 1796, and later left the Union to join

    Stop 128: Truly Great Smoky Mountains!

    Our trip to the Great Smoky Mountains ended up being quite different than what we planned when our travel trailer had a tire blowout that led to not only an axle replacement but a reinforcement of the entire trailer’s frame after a fracture was discovered. Still, we loved our short

    Stop 126: Interesting Adventures in Alabama

    Alabama marks the 45th state in our JenRanAdventures across the United States… with our first stop in Robertsdale, one town away from the Buc-ee’s #42 in Loxley. What is a Buc-ee’s? For some, it is a destination… but officially it is a travel center chain with a mascot that’s a

    Stop 111: Dropping into the Hudson Valley and Delaware Water Gap

    November 4, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    As we closed in on our week-long visit to New Jersey and New York City, we decided to veer west from our last location in Connecticut and spend a week in nature in the Hudson Valley region of New York and the Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania. Ironically, our first

    Stop 103: Fantastic Finger Lakes Region

    Just wow. We had forgotten how much we missed the mountains and trees and beautiful vistas until we arrived in the 9,000-square-mile Finger Lakes region of New York (state #31 on this amazing adventure). Located in central New York, the Finger Lakes consist of a group of 11 long, narrow,

    Stop 96: Moving Through Michigan

    July 27, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    We left Wisconsin and headed into Michigan — state #25 — via the Upper Peninsula, or U.P. as most folks call it… arriving in the Munising area for yet another look at Lake Superior, this time on the southern shores, which offer stunning sandstone cliffs, sand dunes, and waterfalls —

    Stop 89: Crazy Rocks and Ancient Trees of Colorado

    May 13, 2019 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    After several weeks of completing a long, clockwise visit through the state, we concluded our tour of Colorado with a visit to the Colorado Springs area — at the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountains and near the 14,115-foot Pikes Peak in Pike National Forest. We had planned to visit

    Stop 18: Volcanoes, Waterfalls, and Scenic Trails

    April 4, 2018 JenRan Uncategorized Leave a comment

    We knew this stop was all about the volcanic mountains — Lassen and Shasta — but we truly found beauty all around us. We used a cute campground in Mountain Gate, CA, just north of Redding, as our home base after traveling through the Shasta Trinity National Forest along CA-299
