To say we are old hats at this RV travel life is an understatement. Jim and I have been together 16 years and not a year has gone by where we haven’t traveled, whether on the sailboat or in our campers. Kaelin was raised in this lifestyle and took to it like a duck to…

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…
Grandfather Mountain 2018
Now that I’m retired, I’m finding that I can finally catch up with some of our past adventures. In June of 2018 we found ourselves going to Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. This all day adventure was wonderful. In addition to the Mile High Swinging Bridge, hiking trails and Discovery Center there…
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,…
Cheeseburger in New Mexico Paradise
Every day, all day, our 15 year old son asks, “What’s for dinner?” Grant it, it gets annoying, but we think it’s his way of saying, “I love you.” At least I hope that’s what it means. Eating while traveling can be difficult or fun. For us, it’s part of the draw. It’s the challenge,…
Spaceships and Sunsets
After seven days of one night camping, we have finally landed. Somewhere near Roswell, New Mexico is a state park with bottomless lakes, a funny octogenarian, a quirky mismeasured camp ground, and beautiful sunsets. We are at Bottomless Lakes State Park, Lea Campground, about 14 miles from Roswell, home of the aliens 👽. It’s quite…
Riders on the Storm
As said before, weather is an all-important aspect of RV travel. We waited the storm out, and our instincts were spot on. As we traveled west towards Dallas Ft. Worth evidence was everywhere that not all had been lucky. For us, we are grateful that this was one hitchhiker we did not pick up. According…
