Another national park crossed off list! September 28,2026….Mammoth Cave! 🦇🌳☀️

Joe and his sisters…Marie Wright, Peggy Miles and I had the best time. Weather was great! with low 80s temps and beautiful sunshine! We toured Niagara Cave, then hopped on electric mountain bikes and hit the trails. 🚲⚡ We started at the rental place and rode there and back for about 25 miles! Joseph Mealey

Grabbed lunch at the park and finished the day at Buckingham’s — the BEST brisket! 🤤

Another amazing day of exploring and making memories! ❤️🚐

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Michigan is beautiful! Lake superior is huge! Sandstone cliffs, beaches, waterfalls, sand dunes, deep forest, and wild shoreline that you can walk on for hours and stop to swim 😍 The fun and exploring has just begun 😎

We hiked the Sugarloaf Mountain Observation Decks…. Several steps to climb 😱
And visited the Presque Isle Park in Marquette walked out to see the black rocks along the shoreline.

Tonight going to take a sunset cruise on the lake to see all the rock formations, we haven’t seen yet.

Voyageurs National Park - August 21st to the 28th, 2026

A guided boat tour is an absolute MUST if you visit this park! So many of the iconic sights are only accessible by water.

We camped at The Pines on beautiful Lake Kabetogama. We explored the park by pontoon, visiting Ellsworth Rock Gardens and Kettle Falls Hotel—the famous “Tiltin’ Hilton” with its slanted floors in the bar. We enjoyed fabulous frozen drinks, island hopped, and hiked the forests and rocky ridges. 🍹🥾 Yes all in one day 😝

We explored 3 of the parks visitor centers. Took a boat tour from Rainy Lake visitor center, winding through the forested islands and spotting lots of bald eagles. 🦅

We finished the week with some shopping and ice cream in International Falls.

We did not see the northern lights but we did a lot of stargazing.

Another unforgettable stop on our RV adventure! ❤️🇺🇸

We rolled into Grasshopper Flats in the town of interior - South Dakota on August 11th, just two miles from Badlands National Park.

We packed a lot into this week!

🏜️ Badlands National Park — We saw bison, prairie dogs, bighorn sheep, and pronghorn. The scenery is unreal and hard to describe. The hiking is unique because you can climb right up into the formations and mounds. We even ride our bikes to the park and ride around for a couple hours… but it got HOT! Truly a must-see at least once in a lifetime.

🦇 Wind Cave National Park — We toured the cave and then explored the park above ground.

🦬 Custer State Park — More bison sightings, and we loved every minute of it! 😂 lovely lakes.

🗿 Mount Rushmore — Another bucket-list stop checked off. We walked the 425 steps to get a better photo 😉

🍔 Custer, South Dakota — We enjoyed lunch, did a little shopping, and wandered through the town.

🌲 The Black Hills — We took a scenic drive and soaked in the views.

🎂 We also celebrated Joe’s birthday! We spent the evening in Interior, South Dakota, at The Wagon Wheel and LuLu’s. The best part? Both spots were walking distance from our campground… so let’s just say cooking didn’t happen much the last few days! 😂🍻

This trip has been incredible so far. Each park has its own personality, and the Badlands really stood out.

Now we’re heading toward Kentucky to spend time with family. ❤️

We just got to medora , North Dakota! Tomorrow I finally get to check Theodore Roosevelt National Park off the list! If you have any hiking recommendations , please share! I’m hoping to see more wildlife.

Alpine/Bridger-Teton National Forest KOA Holiday — Etna, WY 🏔️ (August 5-10-2026)

What an AMAZING stay! This brand-new KOA had surprisingly spacious sites with plenty of separation — something you don’t always find at new campgrounds!

Jackson Hole has been on my bucket list for years because I’ve always wanted to ski there! 🎿 While I didn’t ski…Joe and I got to experience Jackson in the summer — and it did NOT disappoint! ❤️ We rode the tram up Rendezvous Mountain, then rode the gondola up to hike the beautiful Wildflower Trail down. (Much easier down hill) explored downtown Jackson, and visited the famous Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. 🤠

A few of our favorite adventures:

🥾 Jenny Lake → Inspiration Point → Hidden Falls — about 8 miles, with a moose sighting at Moose Pond! 🫎

🥾 Periodic Spring & Swift Creek Canyon — fun rock scrambling and the largest known intermittent spring in the world! 💦

🥾 Phelps Lake — beautiful hike to the lake and even went swimming there! VERY refreshing swim after hiking in 90° weather to get to the lake.

We also spotted elk around sunrise near the Jackson Hole Airport and enjoyed an amazing steak and drinks at Dad’s Bar. 🥩🍹

If you’re planning a trip to Yellowstone, Joseph MealeyrBarbJoseph MealeylBarbara Mealeyson Hole! Absolutely breathtaking! ❤️🏔️

🐃 YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — WOW! 🏔️

🏔️ A WILDLIFE ENCOUNTER WE’LL NEVER FORGET! 🦬💛Joseph Mealey (July 30th to August 6th, 2026)

Our stay at KOA West Yellowstone was definitely one for the books! Yellowstone completely blew us away. It is SO different from any of the other national parks we’ve visited so far on this journey. 🌲🏔️🦬

One of the absolute highlights was getting up before sunrise and heading to Lamar Valley. Trust me… GET THERE BEFORE SUNRISE! 🌅 We literally had hundreds of bison surrounding the truck and walking right along the road. It was one of those moments where you just sit there and take it all in. 🦬🦬🦬

We also spotted elk in Hayden Valley, which was another incredible wildlife experience. Yellowstone is home to an amazing variety of wildlife, including bison, elk, bears, wolves, moose and more. Seeing these animals in their natural habitat is something you just can’t fully appreciate until you’re there. ❤️

🌋 And then there are the geysers and geothermal wonders! We saw so many incredible formations, but Castle Geyser was our favorite. Watching that eruption surrounded by Yellowstone’s landscape was absolutely unforgettable.

💦 We also made our way to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, with its incredible canyon views and multiple waterfalls. The colors, cliffs and rushing water were breathtaking!

And of course, we had to explore West Yellowstone. Downtown had some great little shops and places to wander around. If you’re there, I HIGHLY recommend the Buffalo Bar — great food, great staff and definitely worth stopping in! 🍔🍻

Yellowstone is truly unlike anywhere we’ve been. It’s not just one thing that makes this park incredible — it’s the combination of wildlife, geysers, waterfalls, canyons, mountains and geothermal activity all packed into one amazing place.

Another national park checked off our list! ✅🏞️

And we’re just getting started… ❤️🚐

We spent July 20–27 at Flathead Harbor RV Resort (my birthday week 😊) , and it was the perfect home base for exploring Glacier National Park—what an unforgettable week! I’m late on posting as we are already in Yellowstone.

We hiked to the breathtaking Avalanche Lake and the Hidden Lake Overlook Trail, where we were lucky enough to spot mountain goats along the way. 🐐🥾

One of the highlights was taking a Glacier Institute Bus Tour. It gave Joe a well-deserved break from driving, and we were able to relax while taking in the incredible scenery. We saw all of the park’s iconic overlooks and some of the most spectacular mountain views Glacier has to offer.

We went bike riding throughout Flathead lake area…40 miles on the great northern historic Trail… and 18 miles exploring the flathead area.

From crystal-clear lakes and towering peaks to unforgettable wildlife encounters, Glacier National Park truly lived up to the hype. Joseph Mealey Barbara Mealey

If Glacier is on your bucket list, don’t wait—you won’t regret it! ❤️🏔️

📍 Nugget RV Resort – Montana 🏔️🚐 July 16 to the 20th, 2026

Our first campground stop in Montana was a great one! We stayed 4 nights at The Nugget RV Resort while making our way toward Glacier National Park, and we highly recommend it.

We’re already loving Montana — beautiful scenery, fuel prices about $1.75 less per gallon than Washington, and no sales tax on restaurant meals!

One of our favorite adventures so far was biking the Route of the Hiawatha 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️. The tunnels, trestles, and views made this the best bike trail we’ve done yet! A little work getting back up, but totally worth it.

We also enjoyed a relaxing day at Quinn’s Hot Springs Mineral Pool Spa and had an amazing shrimp dinner at The Hideaway Restaurant 🍤.

The Nugget RV Resort was beautiful with hiking trails, a pool, and pickleball. A perfect Montana stop as we continue our journey to Glacier! 🏔️
