We got our truck and RV stuck in the mud!

We got our truck and RV stuck in the mud!

We missed the turn off to our location and were trying follow our GPS to turn around.

After fours years of full time RV travel, we know better than to turn on random roads, but still yet we did it anyway. 🤪

Luckily, we also know that when these kinds of stupid things happen, they aren’t nearly as bad as they seem in the moment.

We feel frustrated at first then switch into problem solving mode to see what we can do to get out of the situation.

I usually google how to handle what ever the problem is and thankfully the internet is full of solutions to all sorts of problems.

Joseph is naturally a problem solver and is great at figuring out how things work. So between the two of us we usually can figure something out.

This time was no different. It took us a little bit of creativity and for Joseph to get knee deep in mud, but we were able to get out without a tow truck.

And once we were finally out of the mud and settled for the night, it was almost as if nothing had happened.

We had the privilege to experience the insanely generous hospitality of Greg and Lisa from . They even kept the winery open later for us so we had plenty of time to taste their wines and chat.

The winery is on gorgeous plot of land in ND and every single wine was delicious! Especially the Rhubarb wine, which I had never even heard of before!

If you are in the area, definitely make a stop here!

And the next time you find yourself in a frustrating situation like this, I hope you are able to remember that it’s probably not as bad as it seems and to hang in there until you are on the other side.

Cheers šŸ„‚and stay positiveļø!

Y’all this is my heartbeat right here. Backpacking in the mountains with amazing views and my favorite people. . I’m pretty sure this looks far more like what most people thought we meant when we said we were going to be RVing full time. Right?!  . Back in August we set out on our first family backpacking trip in the Mt. Hood National forest. After ALOT of prep work and research and gear purchasing, we finally were ready to get out there! . My mom heart could not be more stoked that my kids are wanting to do this kind of thing as they are getting older, and that all those hikes that we powered through when they were younger and whiny are finally paying off . . Tent camping is still the worst, for anyone that is wondering , but I loved being out in the wilderness and waking up in the mountains with the the sun and the birds, and getting to experience something new. . What about you? Does this sound like torture to you or an awesome way to adventure? .
