In reply to Michael Spivack. Michael, we usually stay at Bull Run Regional Park in Manassas VA. They have a full hookup area and partial hookups. Just be aware that some of the sites in the full hookup area are not level and will require some blocks under wheels in addition to using the leveling jacks. We also love staying at Lake Fairfax County Park in Reston VA, but it's electric only and is going to be farther from the battle fields (but closer to DC). Enjoy your trip! -Mike

Been following you all since day one. You have made me laugh and cry, envious, enthused and encouraged.

I love your ability to use technology to track, document and display your travels.

We have the same make/model and year of RV.

This year we are planning to visit the northern Virginia Civil War battle fields. We would love to know where you stayed when in that area.

Please keep rolling and documenting

In reply to Steve Lowe. Hi Steve! Hope we catch up in 2017 too. We'll be in Arizona for the winter, Utah and Wyoming in the spring, and Colorado in the summer. Wyoming and Idaho should be great spots to view the eclipse! -Mike

In reply to Keng.

Keng, I think what folks are doing now is finding campgrounds an hour away from the path of totality, then using their tow vehicles (if they have one) to drive into the path for the actual eclipse. You also may be able to find some free / dispersed camping on BLM land or National Forests. This page seems to have some good info for Oregon: http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=v.page&id=60 … Good luck, I hope you find a great spot! -Mike

In reply to Jean Frey.

Jean,
If you use Facebook I’d suggest joining the “Internet For RVers” group run by Technomadia. They also have a great web site dedicated to information about getting internet on the road: https://www.rvmobileinternet.com/. If you have any specific questions about WiFi/Phone access feel free to contact us, but almost everything we know we learned from Technomadia’s info!
Enjoy your travels! -Mike

Nice summary Mike. Oh the total eclipse. Most Oregon campgrounds in the path are pretty much booked up. But we will leave Canadian Rockies and make our way back to Oregon to see it. Not sure how to get a spot in the eclipse path yet. We shall see.

I am so glad I found your blog again! I forgot the name and have been doing google searches to no avail. I finally found it when I google “rvblog married couple tiffin allegro”. We are getting to try and get Bertie ready so that my husband can work on the road. He is a consultant and needs good wi fi and phone access. We will look back at your blogs about that. If we have questions, can we solicit your advice? Now, I’ve got some reading to do to catch up on your travels. Jean

Hello Mike and Kathie, great post and loved the graphs showing your 2016 stats. Also, thanks for the info on the eclipse, we’ll have to keep that in mind next summer. Just guessing, we might be in the Wyoming or Idaho area about that time so it might work for us. We hope to cross paths with you in 2017, give Opie a pat for us!
