Our road trip down memory lane and around New Zealand continues. We cover a lot of ground in this story from both lanes as our weather takes a dramatic turn and so does our marriage.

Ok, perhaps that last sentence was a tad dramatic, but we are talking about raising a teenager…so drama comes with the territory. Rewarding yes, but far more daunting than any stormy sea.

And speaking of stormy seas, we get a peek at just how gnarly the meeting of two seas can be!

If you somehow missed our last story, you should go back and catch up. Because this is part 2 of a 3-part series and we all know how it goes with series. The first is usually the best and it just gets confusing if you start in the middle.

**ROADTRIPPERS?**

We’re long-time fans and friends with the humans behind Roadtrippers. That’s why we collaborated with them for this road trip.

[Roadtrippers is a FREE app](https://roadtrippers.com/?via=thewynns&ref=gonewiththewynns.com) (and website) that came out right about the same time we hit the road [full time in our RV](https://www.gonewiththewynns.com/rvin) circa 2011 (couldn’t have been more perfect timing). We hit it off straight away and have been friends ever since. It’s been our go-to road trip app for discovering weird roadside attractions (hello [Cano’s Castle](https://www.gonewiththewynns.com/canos-trash-castle-colorado)) and wild places to camp ([Trona Pinnacles](https://www.gonewiththewynns.com/trona-pinnacles-wild-camping)).

The free version is awesome and packed with all the important features. But, if you are a serious road tripper, or going on an extended trip, there is a paid “Plus” subscription. Plus gets rid of ads and unlocks features like live traffic and offline maps (very useful during the trip).
