#RV Journal: A Trip Out West, Part One (Flintstone, GA to Stillwater, Colorado)

Ever since we before we got our first RV (a 36.5′ motorhome) and especially after we got our T@b travel trailer in late 2014 I had wanted to do a “big trip” out west, including basing at our daughter’s family’s home in Boise, ID. My wife was reluctant, and so far all the trips to see the “family out west” had been via airplane. This time it changed.

#RV Journal – Lake Jacomo Campground, Lee’s Summit, MO

Location / Name: Lake Jacomo Campground, Lee’s Summit, MO

Date: 08/23/2016 (1 night)

Lake Jacomo Campground was located by looking at Google Maps in an area around 300 miles from my prior planned stop, which was Rend Lake, IL. Reviews and price were OK, and additionally there was a relatively close CVS pharmacy where my wife could pick up a prescription she needed (our local CVS pharmacist forwarded it for us,) so we spent one night on our trip from Georgia to Boise.
