Welcome to the travel page of Jason and Kris. Retired and on a quest to see all 48 contiguous states and all major national parks, we are traveling with our senior dogs, Pilgrim and Tara, in our RV affectionately named Rusty Griswald.
#NationalPark number 8! #Congaree #SouthCarolina does not suck! In unrelated news, stopped at a gas station to let the dogs out and while walking them, found *a gun* lying in the grass on the side of the road. Reported it.

At #stripedpigdistillery in #Charleston #SouthCarolina, woman owned family place with cool people and great booze. Several other rigs here, feeling pretty safe. #HarvestHosts #rvlife

Lyft-ed into downtown #Charleston #SouthCarolina for a great day of long leisurely walks and rests for the doggos. Rarely can we get this close to a city with the RV plus these two #seniordogs. French Quarter is adorbs. #rvlife #48states

State 26! Beautiful drive down the coast of #SouthCarolina, found a new landscape! And WOW there are a lot of pancake houses and mini golf courses in Myrtle Beach. Walmart for lunch, brewery for dinner. #48states #rvlife

Hunkered down at an RV park in Sunset Beach, #NorthCarolina for two days. According to NWS, this will be the warmest spot on the entire eastern seaboard during the forthcoming cold front. Expecting a balmy 0 degrees Celsius Monday night/Tuesday morning. #rvlife #48states

This is why we left the #SmokyMountainNationalPark 😁 Thunder and lightning and torrential downpours aren’t as scary when you’re in a parking lot versus in the mud in a forest next to a giant body of water.

Saw a bison farm in #NorthCarolina, and then had a great lunch stop at Hanna Park in Shelby. #48states #rvlife #seniordogs #rescuedogs

Made it to State 25, #NorthCarolina, and #NationalPark number 7, #GreatSmokyMountain. Frickin awesome, and we lucked out with perfect weather yet again! And saw two elk this morning. #48states #rvlife

I guess Pigeon Forge, #Tennessee is like Vegas except with live alligators and sharks in shops instead of casinos. #48states

Much needed rest and laundry day in #Tennessee, doggos and Mom are being very lazy. Beautiful weather and lots of deer neighbors. We tried a fire last night but the wood was wet 🤣 and have finally busted out the grill. #rvlife #seniordogs

Great little break in the rain and walk through Kilgore Park, doggos loved it. And who knew #Tennessee cops use smart cars? 😂 And #Californians check out these gas prices. #48states #rvlife #seniordogs

Passed the solemn site of the Bowling Green Massacre 🤣 and then into State 24! #Tennessee wins welcome centers with a full blown doggo agility course. Pilgrim and Tara said, “It’s way easier to just go around this stuff.” 😂 #seniordogs #48states

Leaving #MammothCave #NationalPark today, it was awesome. Except so many acorns were falling on our roof during last night’s rainstorm that it sounded more like a hailstorm, seriously hoping we don’t have holes in the roof now 😂. #rvlife #48states

#NationalPark number 6! Made it to #MammothCave #Kentucky. Can’t tour the caves because the government is still shite but we could go into the entrance and hike trails with the doggos. Rangers and volunteers are doing so much with so little. #48states

Passed from #ohio back through—guess where?—for about 5 minutes on the way to our next state. Just when we thought we got the song out of our heads! 🤣 #westvirginia

Crossed back into #Ohio for a bit to wait out the second half of this rain. There’s a good book with my name on it. #cozy #rainydays #rvlife #books

I gotta say, this is one of the nicer nighttime views we’ve had so far, and it’s free. #WestVirginia #48states #rvlife

What a great river-side free find with electric hookups in #WestVirginia! Dump station and potable water spigots everywhere, an RVer’s dream 🤣. Doggos took a synchronized pee, we were on the road for a long time. #48states #rvlife #seniordogs

Got some mail, voted #yeson50, (Hell, yes!) and found our 5th #NationalPark! #Shenandoah in late October doesn’t suck! Camping in the park tonight because Tara is tired from driving. #Virginia #48states #rvlife #seniordogs

Passed through #WashingtonDC, (only caught half of the sign lol), quick dip back into #Maryland, and found State 21! #Virginia. Pic of the Washington Monument with a peek at the Capitol, from afar, is the closest I care to get these days. #48states
