Murfreesboro, AR

There is a public diamond mine in Murfreesboro, AR. The only public diamond in the world. We’ve never been to a diamond mine, and this being the only public one in the world, we figured we better go check into it. Also, Murfreesboro is in our ‘general direction of Sioux Falls, SD’ path. Jake likes looking for diamonds because he enjoys boring stuff. We headed towards Crater of Diamonds State Park (the only public diamond mine), figuring we’d have no problem just calling an RV park on the way there to find a place to stay. Well, that was our…

Nashville, TN (Round 3)

We worked one day. We met up…

He does this with a…

Fort Worth, TX

I don’t think I ever really got a grip on what people meant when they said things along the lines of ‘the size of Texas’ or ‘Texas sized’ until we started traveling full time. When people say ‘bigger than Texas’, I think they might be exaggerating, because at this point, I’m pretty sure there isn’t much that is ‘bigger than Texas.’ As such, we keep gracing Texas with our presence; this is a post about our time in and around Fort Collins, Texas, which is pretty big into cowboys. And when you’re talking about Texas being big into something, then you’re…
