Our First RV Road Trip to Colorado | Burn the Boats Ep. 1

The house is sold, the RV is loaded, and we’re chasing cooler weather. Oklahoma’s 101-degree heat apparently didn’t get the memo. Join Travis, Jayme, and Nala for the road to Colorado—from Lake Texoma through Oklahoma, a stop on historic Route 66, and the wide-open plains of Kansas before the mountains finally come into view. Along the way: lake time, roadside stops, a dog with nugget priorities, and the teamwork required to get an RV parked after a long drive. We’re figuring it out as we go—and that’s part of the adventure. This is Episode 1 of the Burn the Boats road-trip series. The prequel tells the story of selling the house and taking those first steps. Now the journey toward America’s national parks is underway. Next stop: Rocky Mountain National Park. Subscribe to follow the journey, and tell us: which national park belongs at the top of our list? Building businesses. Chasing adventure. Taking back our time.
