Heading into Arizona we stopped at Bearizona, a drive thru wildlife tour. We were advised to park the camper over in the Post-tour parking lot as the wolves, if I remember correctly, like to chew on tires. I figured the bike on the back would look like lunch so we parked the camper and headed...

Who has 4 thumbs and want to see a HUGE hole in the ground... These guys! An impressive crater, but pretty expensive ($18 per adult). It was very cool to see, but the price kind of annoyed me... and then there was a Subway sandwich shop in the visitors center. I know its not a national...

Made a stop, really wished I had asked how much for the skulls? The guy was arguing about payment with the store clerk at the time.

No ziplines, my 2 year old was done after the Maramec tour. We cruised thru Oklahoma over a few days and made it to Texas, We had planned to camp outside of shamrock texas, but the campground ended up being closed and run down. So we got a motel room and enjoyed the town. Including the old...
