Dusting off the Road Trip Blog

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

Hi there folks, I am in the process of embarking on another cross-country adventure.

As many of you know my beloved wife Elisa and I are in our 39th year of marriage. More often than not during those 39 years we have happily owned some sort of recreational vehicle (RV). We’ve had a couple of different ones. We’ve had trailers towed with trucks and we’ve had a couple of different types of motorhomes. At one time we had a 31′ Jamboree Class C motorhome. Those are the types that are a little like a mullet hairstyle - cargo van in the front and party bus in the back.

We enjoyed “Jambo” as the kids named it, for many years until the business of life and growing list if interests of our kids began to get the best of us. So after many years, we sold old Jambo to a one-legged senior citizen, who unfortunately lost a leg somehow or another. He was looking for a motorhome that was of a size that he could manage with his handicap but would still afford him the room to travel the country. As I think back now on how he happily drove off in old Jambo I can’t help but wonder what adventures he has had in the many years since we sold it.

Once the kids were grown and gone and I retired from work the first time in 2012, Elisa and I got the itch to get another motorhome. We began to visit dealerships trying to figure out what we wanted. We settled on another Class C motorhome but this one would be a little different. We wanted one that was built atop the very successful and reliable Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis. So, in 2013, we took the plunge and purchased our brand new Forest River Solera, model 24S from a dealership in DesMoines, Iowa. So why did we, who were living in San Diego, CA at the time opt to purchase our motorhome from a large dealer in Des Moines? Well, after much shopping, we were unable to negotiate an acceptable price from the dealers in sunny San Diego in the middle of winter. But I found that the dealers in the frozen midwest were happy to take my order for a new Solera. So we placed our order in November and then went to pick it up in April or May - I can’t quite remember. We picked the Solera, because we were looking for a smaller motorhome that would be easy to drive and park but still roomy with a slideout….but still packing enough power so we could tow our small car behind it.

We love the Solera! The MB diesel engine is just great. It was our first experience owning a diesel vehicle and our initial apprehension and fears of not being able to locate a diesel fueling station were quickly allayed. Now days you can barely pass a street corner where 2 out of the 3 gas stations are likely to also serve diesel. The supercharged diesel engine in the Solera has plenty of power but was also pretty reasonable on fuel consumption. We would routinely experience 10 to 13 mpg depending on highway and weather conditions - all while pulling our car behind us.

Many of you may remember the previous blog I wrote in 2013 that detailed our “Epic Road trip”. We spent almost 3 months on the road covering about 40 of the lower 48 states. We put about 13000 miles on the Solera that summer and we did it without going totally mad in our cozy little motorhome.

After that road trip I took another job to help a friend out turning around a small S/W company. That kept me pretty busy through 2016, but we would still manage to put another 10000 miles on our Solera by taking a number of shorter trips around the Western USA. It was on our last trip in January 2017 to Oceanside, CA, that I mentioned to Elisa that it would be nice to have a little larger motorhome - maybe one with a larger bed and most importantly a larger bathroom shower.

So that sort of explains why I’m here in Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport awaiting my next flight to Boise, Idaho. You see, Elisa and I began looking at motorhomes again. We started out looking at Class A motorhomes - the ones that look like fancy school busses. We thought if we found one that was about 5 to 6 feet longer than our 25 fool long Solera it would give us all the space we could ever need. Well, we had never owned a Class A before and we were amazed at the choices available. They come in all different sizes and shapes and prices. We had test driven some very basic ones back in 2013 but found them to be too big and noisy and squeaky.

The first one I looked at in 2017 was a very high-end Tiffen motorhome with a gasoline engine. I was amazed at how sturdily built, quiet and easy to drive it was. Night and day difference to the low end one we drove in 2013. That Tiffen was 31′ long - only 6′ longer than our Solera. As we looked at more motorhomes, we began to think that our Daughter Krista and her fiancé Travis were about to get married in 2017 and they would surely like to travel with us from time to time. So, we thought maybe we would look at one that was “a little larger”. Then we test drove a Newmar Ventana LE - all 37′ of it. We were amazed at the quiet and smooth ride afforded by the rear mounted diesel engine. That opened us up to the wonderful world of “diesel pusher” motorhomes. These motorhomes have commercial diesel engines typically made by Cummins engines, sitting atop a heavy duty bus chassis made by Freightliner and equipped with a smooth Allison transmission. We quickly learned that the sky was the limit on how these diesel pushers could be equipped.

The Newmar we test drove was priced at $230K but as it was a 2016 closeout model, it could be ours for a mere $160K. As nice as it was, we weren’t crazy about the floor plan. It only had 2 sleeping areas - albeit one was a king sized bed and there other a long sofa that unfolded into a king size air bed. But it didn’t have the dinette configuration that Elisa preferred - instead it had a regular dining table and 4 chairs. Very nice. So the crafty salesman showed us another Newmar - this one 39′ long and this one had everything - including 1 and ½ bathrooms and a fold-out sofa bed and the beloved dinette. Unfortunately, 1 and ½ bathrooms does not come cheap and it was at $199K. Still a seemingly great deal as compared to the $260K sticker price. We were way out of our league.

So Elisa and I set off on a search for a gently used motorhome, preferably a diesel pusher and preferably with the much desired 1 and ½ bathrooms. We thought we had found it, a Forest River Legacy model. It was a 2015 and it was in Dallas, Texas. The price was good but there were complications, the owner was traveling and he didn’t have the pink-slip on it and we would have to work out the transaction with his bank. Nothing insurmountable. As we were considering purchasing it we were able to find the same model located in Tampa, Florida. It was a little more expensive by a few $k but it was a year newer and it was brand new complete with the original warranty. That looked like the one, but I was not relishing the thought of a solo drive back to the SF Bay area from Tampa.

That pretty much brings us full circle. I was able to find the same model for sale in Boise, ID at Denis Dillon RV. After a few phone calls and a little negotiating we had bought our new motorhome. I did manage to overlook that we are still in the middle of winter and the shortest route to Boise would take us up I-80 over Donner pass, which because of all the winter storms we’ve experienced was largely buried under a mountain of snow. This would make the drive there and drive back a bit more challenging. So, I now am sitting in the airport waiting on my next flight to Boise and I will be driving our new motorhome back to the SF Bay area taking a meandering route - sans snow - through Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. it’s about 500 miles longer than if I were able to take the straight shot down I-80 - but after all, someone once said, “its about the journey and not the destination”.

So I’ll let you know how it goes and I promise to post a few pictures.

PS - so what started out as a quest to find a “little larger shower and bed” has resulted in our purchasing a 38′ long diesel motorhome. What could possibly go wrong?

SEASON 2018: Trip #1 (Part 1)

We finally were able to get the “ORAH” Chalet out of storage and out for its first outing for the 2018 season. AND . . . without any major issues!!! WHOO HOO!!! At least none that ruined our trip!!!

As we get to travel the country, I will try to post as many pictures of the campgrounds that we stay at and give a review for them as well. On this trip, there were several campgrounds that we would definitely return to and one that we will NEVER go to again!

I hope you enjoy this journey as we travel this beautiful country.

THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2018

Thursday and Friday were spent in Amarillo (our home) gathering all the stuff from the apartment that we had not been able to take to the RV. We also got the truck and RV inspected. Then we took the RV to our local RV park, Fort Amarillo RV Park, . . . our favorite “staging” park . . . where we gave it a much-needed bath and got her all loaded up. We love having this nice RV park fairly close to us but it sure stinks that we have to pay for 2 nights just to load and unload the RV when we leave or return from a trip. Since we don’t have anywhere at the apartment to park the RV to do that chore, we just don’t have any other option. It just another cost that we factor into our trips.

A little bit about Fort Amarillo RV Park:

Per the Website: At Fort Amarillo RV Park & Resort, you’ll enjoy an authentic western setting, complete with a stream-fed fishing pond, illuminated walking paths and sunsets so breathtaking, even the most eloquent cowboy poets don’t do them justice. Huge pull thru sites, free WiFi & be sure to shop at Lizzie Mae’s Mercantile. 10% discount to members of Good Sam, AAA, AARP, KOA, FMCA, TACO and the Military. Daily Rate: $42 | Weekly Rate: $210 If you need more than 2 weeks, please call for price and availability.

My Review: The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a really clean park, there are trees on most sites, full hookups, large level gravel sites, most are pull thru (I believe the back in ones are mostly for live-ins), laundry, really clean bathrooms/showers (hotel quality), there are two spaces that can be rented for parties, one of them is for guests with tables for cards, there are movies/books, a small kitchen (I believe it’s free to use but rentable for parties), a lit courtyard with BBQ, basketball court, tennis court, playground, indoor pool, game room, a small fish pond with nice grassy area and BEST of ALL there is an AWESOME gift shop called Lizzie Maes!! It is soooo cool!!

All of the sites have a concrete patio with a table and a fence that blocks the other site. They are gravel but they are level. AND, the roads around the park are gravel and well kept as well. Even tho the sites are close together, the fence blocks the utilities from your campsite so you are not staring at the sewer or hoses while you are enjoying your patio.

It is near I-40 making it an easy on/off stop but far enough away that it’s not noisy. Because of the wind in Amarillo, the trees and fence around the park help to serve as a slight wind block. You are close to a lot of eating places and shopping. If you are into walking, you could walk but it would be easier to drive because most everything is South of the I-40 (the park is on the Northside of I-40) CONS: No firepits or grills (but many bring/use their portable grills), all gravel roads inside and at the sites but they are level.

On Saturday morning we got all hooked up and headed out of town only to have a tiny issue just as we got on the highway . . . the rubber stripping around the front Cap was flapping in the wind!!! I guess the power washer from the RV wash pushed it out of the track. We pulled off the road and hubby stuck it back into place. Hopefully, this would be our only issue this trip. Well . . . actually, we did have one issue that hubby would try to fix when we get or our first major stop . . . the water to the ice maker wasn’t coming on because the cut off valve must be broken. No matter which way you turn it, there was no water to the icemaker. He used to fix valves like that on coffee makers in his previous life . . . so he felt confident that it would be an easy fix . . . if he can get is big hands in that tiny space to fix it.

Lamar, Colorado

Our first overnight stop was in Lamar, Co at Sportsman’s RV Park and Horse Hotel. Normally when we go to Castle Rock, CO to see hubby’s sister, we go thru Raton Pass. This time we decided to take another route to AVOID the Pass! Not sure we wanted to take that pass for our first outing after having so many other truck issues. We thought that staying on flat ground was the better option this time out and chose to take Highway 287 thru Boise City, OK up to Lamar, Colorado.

As soon as we hit Oklahoma on Highway 287, the roads were REALLY ROUGH!! The expansion joints were rough and the tire lanes were really rough. I actually drove with my passenger tires on the shoulder and my drivers’ side tires in the middle of the lane . . . it was still rough!!! No potholes . . . just washboard type roads. In any case, they SUCKED!!!

We thought it was going to shake everything out of the cabinets of the trailer and shake all the bolts loose. The only disaster we encountered was a 12 pack of cokes that fell out of the case inside the truck. The case was open and they all fell between the seat and door. I had to open the window so hubby could use his long arms to reach them instead of opening the door and having them all roll out and ‘spew’ everywhere. The only thing that happened inside the trailer was that the bedroom closet door opened and two small items fell out . . . nothing major! WHEW!! Oh . . . later, we found out that a cabinet shelf where we had more 12 packs of Coke had broken. No worries on that one tho . . . we only put our cases of drinks in that one. They can be stacked. Once we hit the Colorado border, the roads were like “butter” . . . either that or they just seemed like “butter” after the Oklahoma roads. So . . . for reference, try to stay off Highway 287 from just North of Stratford, Texas to the Colorado border!! Seriously, when you hit Colorado, the roads were AWESOME . . . 2 lane but wide lanes with wide shoulders. THANKFULLY it was only about 50 miles of bad roads.

Instead of driving all the way to Cherry Creek in Aurora, CO in one day, which was about a 7 hr drive from Amarillo, we decided to break the trip up and spend a night in Lamar, Co. That way IF the roads were really slow or we ran into trouble, we’d have plenty of time to adjust and adapt. It’s nice to get somewhere and not be really tired from driving all day and just sit back and relax . . . which we both needed desperately. In fact, we have decided to drive about 200-300 miles per day OR to be parked somewhere by around 3pm. . . . whichever comes first. That way we have time to set up and relax. . . or adapt our plans if needed.

Highway 287 – Lamar, CO to I-70 Nice 2 lane, nonbusy, flat road

The weather was AWESOME in Lamar, Co. . . . nice and cool!! They apparently they had some major wind, rain and hail come thru here the night before. We went from the 99-degree weather at home to the 60’s here!! AWESOME!!! We had the windows open with no A/C running . . . GLORIOUS weather!! There was a little bit of wind but nothing like we are used to. They say that Chicago is the “Windy City”!! I beg to differ!!!

One of the first things we had to do was to cancel a Retirement Gift for my husband from our daughter. She knows that he has always wanted a Porche 911, 6 speed, Convertible. This was her 3rd attempt to get him a Retirement Gift. The first attempt was an Alaska fishing trip with her husband, Jon Nite, who was going there to write songs with someone. But it fell through. Her second attempt was a trip to St. John. However, the Hurricanes had other plans. Her third attempt was to rent a Porche 911 Convertible for him to drive for a day. She knows that he has always wanted a Porche 911 and thought it would make a great gift for him. However, once we realized the dates she rented it for, where the dealership was in relation to where we were camped, the logistics just were not workable, we had to cancel it. The dealership was about 87 miles from where we were going to be and that day was going to be a “moving day” or us. Had we gone to get it, the entire day would have been driving back and forth to the dealership. Which would be over the allotted 100 miles per day limit and we’d have to pay $1/mile after that for the gas . . . waste of money to not fully be able to enjoy it. Some may say “Third time is the charm” . . . not in this case . . . for now. Maybe next time we go to the Denver area he can get it. When he first heard he was getting this gift, he was all ready to take it up Pikes Peak . . . which, after seeing a video of that road, he would be going without me!!!! There is NO WAY I’d go up that in a ‘race car’!!! Apparently, it wouldn’t have happened anyway because later in the trip we found out that they have actually closed Pikes Peak to most traffic. You have to park and ride a passenger van up to the Summit now. The only ones that can drive up Pikes Peak are anyone with kids who need a car seat and the elderly who need assistance. Their vans cannot accommodate those persons.

UPDATE on Pikes Peak as of July 10, 018:

Shuttle no longer required for all drivers on Pikes Peak Highway

In the next episode, we will continue on Highway 287 and pick up I-70 to Cherry Creek where we stayed for 4-5 days. We have family in that area who we visited and even celebrated with a Niece who had just graduated from college.

Stay tuned for more excitement to come from “The Ole Rooster and his Hen” . . .

2018 Travel Journey begins Trip #1 (Part 1) SEASON 2018: Trip #1 (Part 1) We finally were able to get the "ORAH" Chalet out of storage and out for its first outing for the 2018 season.

Exactly 1 Year Later

So the question is, where should we begin...

Well, like the title says, it’s been exactly 1 year since we published our last blog and I can tell you this... a lot has happened since then! We will of course add more photos down below since i’m a photographer and I know a lot of us are visual people so you like to actually see the things we’re talking about and not just read about them. To make things simple i’m going to list out the details in the past 12 months so you know how things have happened in our life. Of course, we’re just going to stick to the highlights and not mention everything. That could take forever. (SIDE NOTE: most of the places we mention in this blog is connected to a link... if a “place” has a line under it, then click on it to learn more). Also, most photos were taken by me (Dustin Altman) except the top one and the photo of me. Just in case you were wondering, my business name is Altman Media Group. So if you need anything let me know!

- LET’S GET STARTED -

From November to December 2016

After finishing our commitment in India last year (November 2016) we took off for Cyprus, Melina’s home. We lived with her mom and spent time in the Greek culture and I actually started learning some of the Greek language. I sounded like a pro, not really but hey, it takes time like anything else. Right? AND yes it was “All Greek to Me” as the old saying goes. Meaning, I didn’t understand anything that was going on. I can say that the food was amazing (Melina’s mom... Ms. Haido is a great cook and baker). In Cyprus, we had lamb, gyros, halloumi... nooow... there’s Jesus and then there’s halloumi... it’s definitely a joke... kind of... but yes halloumi is amazing and my favorite! What is it you ask? It’s goat cheese that they grill! Ok ok ok.. I said that I wasn’t going to mention everything but I have to share this short story. In the winter the weather in Cyprus is very interesting. For example, one day we went to the beach to revisit the place where I ask Melina to marry me 2 years prior in 2014 (while in college I flew over to Cyprus and proposed on a cliff by the beach at sunset.. it was amazing) ANYWAYS..... back to the story! So, one day we went to the beach and the weather was perfect, about 70 degrees (F) which is around 21 Celsius for all you guys not in America. Long story short, the next day we went to the mountain known as Mt. Olympus (Cyprus) and I couldn’t believe what I saw. There was snow everywhere!!! It was beautiful. The drive is only 1.5 hrs from the beach to the mountains and the weather was completely different.

THE BEACH: Ayia Napa, Cyprus (this is close to where I proposed)

The Mountain: Mount Olympus, Cyprus (we went sledding in the snow)

At some point I had to go Istanbul, Turkey for a day or so.... (while I was in Istanbul, there were some bombings) I wasn’t near them.

Cyprus to Greece

After leaving Cyprus in late December 2016 we flew to Thessaloniki, Greece where Melina’s sister lived at the time. It was an interesting place. Let’s just say when we were there, things were really inexpensive. I remember getting freshly squeezed orange juice with our breakfast for 1 Euro which was like $1.20 USD which is amazing. You can’t buy fake orange juice in the states for that price. Another thing I noticed about this specific city was the amount of graffiti that was on buildings all around us. Besides that, we got the opportunity to go visit my sister-in-laws boyfriends family up in the mountains and along the way we seen a very beautiful place by the beach! The photo below was one of the first places where Paul (from the bible) preached a messages on his missionary trip to Greece.

The Town: Kavala, Greece

Taking off in Greece and now going to.... (drum roll)

We enjoyed our time in Greece... but up next was our FAVORITE CITY ON EARTH!!! Let me make this fun... do you think our favorite city is ( A ) Cape Town, South Africa ( B ) New York City, New York ( C ) Budapest, Hungary or ( D ) New Delhi, India Sooooo... some of you are probably wrong, some of you probably haven’t even heard of some of these places in the world and some of you guessed it right! It’s Budapest, Hungary! We love it there so much! So a little bit about the place.. Melina lived there for 7 years. She studied there and staff with a missionary team there. WHY do we love Budapest? Well, almost all of the buildings look like 500 years old, there’s Castles, and historic bridges, the Danube River divides the city, there’s also mountains, and plenty of amazing food! (Hungarian food.. yummmmm) One of the coolest parts of this trip to Budapest was the fact that my mom, two brothers, and cousin came all the way from America to meet us here. We counted this as our family vacation since me and Melina don’t live near family anymore. Ok, let me try to speed things up a little by putting up a few more photos of our time in Budapest.

The Town: Szentendre, Hungary (1hr with the Train from Budapest)

CITY: Budapest, Hungary ( in the winter )

My family in the street of Budapest (yes it was very cold)

All 3 of these guys had their birthdays in Budapest!!! By the way, they were ice skating in this photo in front of a castle... SO MUCH FUN! January 2017

Now..... you know why we love it! It’s absolutely beautiful! (SIDE NOTE: we actually flew from Thessaloniki, Greece to Budapest, Hungary for $16 USD. I know you think it’s impossible but we did it. HOW? Europe seems to have much more affordable flights than places like America. I don’t exactly know why that is but for some reason that’s how it is. Now, they’re not all that cheap but sometimes you can find a STEAL / DEAL. Whatever you want to call it.

Budapest to Paris

After leaving Budapest, we flew straight to Paris. We got the opportunity to take a bus to downtown Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. It does look a little smaller than you would expect in person but come on... It’s the Eiffel Tower. Who cares?! It was just amazing that we could actually see it in person! After the Eiffel Tower, came the not so fun part. We didn’t know where we where going to stay for the night so I looked up some stuff on airbnb. At some point we found out that something wasn’t working with my bank card so yep... we had to sleep in the Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris. Let me just say that we were a bit uncomfortable, followed by, I wasn’t the happiest person in the world and it wasn’t the best night of sleep we have ever had.

Paris to Montreal

So after Paris we flew over to Montreal, Canada where we meet up with a missionary friend and stayed with her for a few nights. She took us around Montreal (they speak french there and it looks a little like France) and as aways I love Montreal in the winter because they have sooo many good places to ice skate ( I love iceskating ). We figured from there we would move back to Boise, ID near the area that me and Melina had completed our missionary school (our school was through YWAM, the second largest christian missionary organization in the world).

Montreal to Myrtle Beach

We found out that there wasn’t enough money to make the trip and to start renting a house in Boise so we decided to fly down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where I am from to work and save up some money. My grandma let us stay in one of her condos and for about 3 months from the end of January - April 10th, we worked and saved our money.

Myrtle Beach to Boise

During that time in Myrtle Beach we bought our flights to Boise and on April 11th we departed for what we now call home... BOISE, ID! We are very blessed to call this city ours home. It is so beautiful here! There’s tons of outdoors stuff to do. For example, there’s hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, swimming, camping and the list goes on and on. We’ve been here for about 8 months now and for 6 of those 8 months, I found my way into the car business. Yep, I was a car salesman.... Trying to shine for Jesus isn’t always easy in this business :)

Of course, this is me! I worked for the Top dealership in this region. ( it was a miracle how I got the job )

Being in that business gave us a good start here in Idaho. Melina has became a swimming coach for the Boise National Team in downtown Boise. She also teaches Chinese students english online, while maintaining clients for her massage business.

It’s almost December so we’re excited about going back to South Carolina to visit family for Christmas and then we’ll be coming back home to good ole Idaho!

HERE’S A FEW MORE PHOTOS OF IDAHO and US IN IDAHO:

CITY: Boise, ID

Me and Melina out doing some business work.

TOWN: Cascade, ID (cascade is the town where we completed our missions school) AND YEA... it’s really that beautiful! We camped here for a night or two.

This river is behind our school building.

Soooo this photo looks pretty vintage but I actually took it a few days ago when we were at the 2017 YWAM Graduation party up in Cascade.
