We have been speaking with our camp host at Spadra Park regarding Woodpecker Campground, which is his relatively new property. I asked him if I could mention it on my blog, and he readily agreed. He stopped by again yesterday to ask for the names of our blog and Facebook page, so I told him…

Contentment
How would I describe this life in words? I am afraid I cannot do so adequately. The closest I can come is by sharing photos of the moments that bring us such contentment; though they are brief, they will have to suffice. Looking back at our favorite photos evokes more than just images, color, and…

OLD HWY 25 CAMPGROUND TUMBLING SHOALS, ARKANSAS Just a beautiful place. Sometimes you just need to let the pictures tell the story.
Destination ????
We’re finally embarking on the adventure we’ve always dreamed of—traveling without a set plan or destination. It’s been the driving force behind almost everything we’ve done, from our work and savings to our camper renovations and family care. Initially, we had set our destination as Michigan. However, as we delved deeper into our research and…
Chasing Seventies from a Different Perspective
Up until now we’ve always traveled during the summer; the months when it’s hardest to find those “perfect” temperatures. But now? We are heading into uncharted territory for us. We are now both retired and ready to get on the road. But, where to? We are realizing there is more to choosing a destination than…

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…
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,…
