Hidden Gem in Waynesboro TN

Needed an overnight spot. Walmart and Cracker Barrel failed us so we kept on going until we accidentally found this place. Waynesboro City Park RV in Tennessee. It’s super small, only 4 spots but it’s full hookup and only $15. Very pretty with a lovely creek and river next to it, treed hills on the…

RV Maintenance: are we in trouble?

Day one of our travel adventure and already experiencing a little maintenance—what a way to kick off our journey! We’ve learned that these moments are simply part of the fun. After a few hours on the road, our excitement began to wane, and our grumbling stomachs urged us to stop. We pulled into the DQ…

DQ Don’t Quit

It’s finally time for us to travel again! This time, though, it’s a little different – we’re both retired now! No need to rush! We can take our time and go wherever we feel like. We’ll definitely get to see all four seasons. Can you imagine seeing fall in New England or camping in the…

Chasing Seventy

Chasing Seventies has taken on a profound new significance in my life. It transcends mere temperature; it’s a reflection of time’s passage. Having just celebrated my 65th birthday and made the bittersweet decision to retire from teaching, I find myself grappling with an exhilarating yet strange feeling. Transitioning from the daily ritual of rising with…

Crazy Train

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

Today is my birthday. It’s also a day we have anticipated for months – it’s a travel day. Fraught with tension, wondering if anything has been forgotten or left undone. We think too hard. We think hard about the days yet experienced, only a glimpse of a direction in our minds. Our plans fall on…

Off again

6/12023 Bertha has had more body (engine) work than Cardi B. Plus, there are four new dualie tires. Every year, Jim puts in a lot of work on both Betty and Bertha (camper and truck) to make sure they are prepared for our long trips.  Jim is meticulous and thorough with his repairs. Knowing your…
