Join us as we dive into an epic two-week RV journey (Sept 2023) from Portland through the stunning landscapes of Central Oregon! Armed with our 2023 Leisure Travel Van Wonder RL and our curious travel buddy, Jobe the cat, we’re exploring iconic sights like Smith Rock, the ancient formations at Crack in the Ground and Fort Rock, the expansive Alvord Desert, and the winding Deschutes River. Along the way, we’ll share essential RV living tips, tricks, and delicious home-cooked meals straight from our RV kitchen.
