Moab, Utah provided gorgeous views in the surrounding National Parks and excitement with “slick-rock riding” in ultimate jeeps.

After seeing the North Rim of the Grand Canyon we’ll spend four days beside Lake Powell; enjoy a boat trip on the lake; a Colorado River raft float trip, and a tour through Horseshoe Bend Slot Canyon. Our final two weeks will take us to New Mexico to explore Farmington, Gallup, Acoma and Albuquerque.

America the Beautiful Senior passes (formerly Golden Age Pass) will save you money in Mesa Verde, Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyon-lands, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Parks.

Introducing a New Caravan along the Old River Road, 1,400 miles from Duluth MN to New Orleans LA, from the weekend after Labor Day to Columbus Day. To be exact: September 8th to October 8th, 2018, so save the date. From the colorful Northern Fall Foliage to the Deep South, this is a spectacular journey with the mighty Mississippi at your side and music exploration on your mind. The Caravan starts in Duluth MN, where the iconic singer-songwriter, musician, author, artist and recipient of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature Bob Dylan was born. We tour all Bob Dylan sites of significance in Duluth as well as in Hibbing MN, where he grew up. His 1965 album “Highway 61 Revisited” inspired this Caravan, as this once major American highway still connects us to southern places known for their musical heritage. Next are the Twin Cities, where the multi-talented recording artist Prince, who passed away in 2016, resided. We tour his extraordinary private estate and production complex just out-side of Minneapolis. A Prairie Home Companion of Garrison Keillor fame, but now with Chris Thile, is also on our agenda in St. Paul. Going South on 61, Memphis TN is a music explorer’s delight: Elvis Presley’s Graceland, Beale Street with Jerry Lee Lewis Honky Tonk Café, Sun Records where Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash cut their first record, Stax Studios with Otis Redding and the birth of Soul Music. We see it all, and much more. Crossing the state line to Mississippi, 61 turns into the Blues Highway. This stretch is an education of the Mississippi Delta Blues and the rich history of this unique art form. We visit the BB King Museum and Blues Museums featuring legends as well as Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club. We even visit a Grammy Museum dedicated to the Blues in the middle of nowhere. Heading South, Louisiana has its own music traditions. Our final destination is New Orleans LA, the birthplace of Jazz: Dixieland, Louis Armstrong, French Quarter, Fats Domino, etc. The Big Easy is this Caravan’s Grand Finale. If you got the rhythm, this Caravan is for you!
This Caravan is primarily for lovers of modern American music. Although we include a few non-musical bonus options, like a Greyhound Bus Museum, or a Red Wing Shoe Museum, or a John Deere or Mark Twain, or a Coca-Cola Museum where the first Coke was bottled. Expect waterfront campgrounds, if possible. Really, two wire-haired dachshunds are organizing this Caravan. This means “Highway 61 Revisited” is pet-friendly.

If you love seafood and want to explore the historic southeast coast of the United States, this is the caravan for you. We’ll visit an historic US Lifesaving Service Station (predecessor to the U.S. Coast Guard) in Delaware, eat seafood, spend a day at the Chincoteague Oyster Festival in Virginia, visit countless museums, lighthouses and beaches, eat seafood and see the sights in the historic southeast. Did we mention that we’re going to eat seafood? Actually this caravan is about a lot more than eating seafood. You’ll be immersed in the history, culture and beauty of the Old South and see many attractions that are missed by the average tourist, including Morning Colors and graduation ceremonies at the US Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island.
The caravan will travel about five weeks starting at the Delaware Seashore State Park (south of Rehoboth Beach) and traveling through coastal Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and ending at the Georgia Sea Islands. The kitty fee, which hasn’t increased since 2012 includes campgrounds, most with full hookups, many meals, boat, carriage and bus tours, museum admissions and much more!
