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…

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…
This is what Chasingseventies.com is all about.
Yes, it’s raining but in Florida it would not dip this low.
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…
We’re Off…….

Our Cup of Tea
Say the words “Let’s go camping,” and each person will conjure up a different scene in their head. When I was younger with small children, camping meant pulling out the tent, sleeping bags, coolers full of ice and goodies and of course, lots of bug spray. Not any more. I’m too old for sleeping on…
Hipcamp Craziness
It saddens me that one of the first post for this summer’s trip is going to be a sad one. But, unfortunately, that is the way it is sometimes with this way of life. Can’t all be sunshine and Kumbayas. We have had many days of point A to point B travel. We’ve stayed at…
