    Lakeland/Englewood FL & Home

    Sunday, Nov. 4th We headed to Lakeland today to spend one night at Sanlan RV Resort before dropping the 5th wheel off tomorrow morning for the new “hydraulic” landing gear to be installed. It was a scenic rural ride headed west on Hwy 60 from Hobe Sound through a mix of orange groves and grazing…

    Hobe Sound, Florida

    Sunday, Oct. 28th Today is my 60th birthday! Wow! How did that happen! Thank you all for the phone calls, emails, texts, and FB posts with birthday greetings! They were indeed appreciated, and made me feel very loved. No worries for those who didn’t know it was my birthday. It’s entirely probable I don’t know…

    Silver Springs, FL

    Tuesday, Oct. 23rd Shortly after Hurricane Michael hit we got a call from the campground in Eastpoint, FL (which would have been our stop during this leg) telling us that they were cancelling our 2-night reservation because the campground had some damage and no electricity. They were putting our deposit in their “house account” for…

    South Walton, Florida

    Wed., Oct. 17th Today we left Mustang Island in route to the panhandle of Florida… hopefully well away from the aftermath of Hurricane Michael. We had a really fun stay in this south Texas location visiting family and exploring the area! We opted to take the free ferry out of Port Aransas. That was a…

    Corpus Christi / Mustang Island

    Friday, Oct 12th Meigs and Paul came down to say their goodbyes to us on Friday morning. I said “Let’s make this short and sweet. I can’t handle any long drawn out goodbyes.” So that’s what we did. We will so look forward to visiting them again once they are settled in their new home. …

    Spring Branch / San Antonio, TX

    Monday, Oct. 8th – Thursday, Oct. 11th Monday morning we said our goodbyes to Andy & Linda. Linda had suggested we take State Highway 281 South all the way down to Guadalupe River State Park in Spring Branch. Turned out to be a great scenic ride through Texas Hill Country with not too much traffic.…

    Temple/Belton, TX 

    Wednesday, Oct. 3rd – Monday, Oct. 8th Gary picked us a good route to drive south to the Temple area and avoid just about all of the Dallas metro traffic area. We headed north on I-35-E to Denton then headed south on I-35-W over towards Ft. Worth. It’s amazing how many “35s” there are, and…

    Hickory Creek, TX

    Tuesday, Sept. 25th dawned with thunderstorms and heavy rain. If we were the superstitious type, which we’re not, we might view this as a bad omen. This being the day we’re finally hitting the road after our landing gear fix. But, the rains stopped as we were getting ready to pull out so all good.…

    Lake Shelbyville & Casey, IL

    We packed up the RV on Tuesday, Sept. 18th to head out and a gentleman came over to chat with Gary about his Andersen hitch and asked if he liked it blah blah. He was to be at the campground for a month visiting his son and family who live minutes away. People always share…

    Technically we spent two nights in Niles, Michigan which is just over the border from Indiana. The purpose was to make a pilgrimage to Elkhart, Indiana which manufactures 80% of the RVs made in North America and is home to the RV Museum & Hall of Fame. We traveled across Ohio to get here. I…

    Well, we headed off Thursday, Sept. 13th on our next little RV adventure. Originally we planned to head down thru Virginia and some of the Mid-Atlantic states on our way to Texas but with Hurricane Florence rearing her head, we changed course and went across New York State and and chose a more northwestern route.…

    Acadia National Park (Schoodic Peninsula)

    We spent four nights at Schoodic Woods Campground in Acadia National Park on the the quiet side of Acadia in Winter Harbor. The campground is only a few years old and is awesome with very spacious and private sites. A keeper!  This was our first camping trip without Miss Kya. For those of you who…
