2025 Year in Review: Miles, Memories<\/strong>
Life on the road isn\u2019t just about the destination, it\u2019s about the resilience it takes to get there, and the sense of humor to survive the detours.
In 2025, we went West. It became a year defined by big skies, emotional moments, technical upgrades, and a handful of adventures that pushed our nerves and our humor to the limit.
Mitchell remained close to us throughout the year. Charlene honored him with a chipmunk tattoo, and at Cadillac Ranch we painted his name and MS ribbons onto the iconic cars. Simple, heartfelt reminders that he travels with us in every mile.
One of the hardest moments of 2025 was saying goodbye to our beloved Jaxon. We found a peaceful overlook near Bryce Canyon, now known to us as \u201cJaxon\u2019s Site,\u201d where the pines whisper in the wind and where a piece of our hearts will always remain.

MS brought its ups and downs, but Charlene faced each challenge with determination, from tough heat days to joyful moments like dancing in a surprise June 21st snowfall at Lake Tahoe. Proof that MS shapes our journey without stopping it.
The year threw plenty at us\u2014from a record 21.6-inch downpour in San Benito to rough construction zones, washboard backroads, steep grades, and narrow tunnels\u2014a constant reminder that RV life rewards patience and flexibility. But 2025 also brought breathtaking scenery, emotional milestones, and a deep appreciation for the quiet, beautiful places we found along the way. Thank you for traveling with us through every mile. Here's to 2026 and whatever waits beyond the next bend.
Let\u2019s see the world.
