This will be a quick post as it’s difficult to write as we are driving. Between the sometimes bumpy road and wicked wind, I feel like I’m going off the rails. We are traveling the Ports to Plains Corridor and heading to Amarillo, TX for the night. The scenery rolls from mountains to plains as…

Time to Fly Away
Our travels take us many places. There is a general direction and, at times, a purpose. The first week of travel is usually made up of one nighters, Walmarts, rest areas, and travel centers. Storms sent us directions we hadn’t really planned on. It’s better safe than on course. Time to Fly Away. This year,…
Day 3 Adventures and Breakfast Burritos
We left Mississippi this morning after semi-rough night. We’ve had worse but definitely a noisy night at Loves. We stopped at this Louisiana rest stop for a bite to eat and a quick selfie. No Boy in the picture because he was hot and grumpy and stayed in Betty Deux. Breakfast for travel days needs…
Anticipation

Yes, it’s raining but in Florida it would not dip this low.
Scenes from Rend Lake
We are currently back at Rend Lake, more specifically Wayne Fitzgerald State Park. We have come here for the past several years at the end of our trips and have always enjoyed its immense peace and beauty. This year we are here early and plan on staying as long as we possibly can. Our goal…
Ribbit -Write it Down
One of the best things we ever bought was a camping journal. We have gone back and referred to it many times, sometimes just to reminisce and others for important information. I try to journal for each trip, writing down the weather, name of campground (even if it’s a Walmart), things we did, saw, and…
