Thump, thump. Flat tire on US1! The front left passenger side of the camper suffered a flat tire. Actually, flat is an understatement-it was shredded. Not to worry, Capt. Jim was totally prepared. The best tool he carried was an impact wrench, as it made quick work of the lugnuts. He was a Pit Stop…

Gordonia State Park, Georgia
Gordonia State Park was hard to find due to poor signage. We almost missed it. There was a separate entrance that we happened on while heading to Walmart. We followed the GPS even though the sign on the road said “Dead End.” It wasn’t a Dead End. Go figure. It has a lot to offer;…
Laura Walker State Park
Laura Walker State Park is in Georgia. This park has pleasant staff. I loved how the Rangers talk to the kids as they played. We watched as he even went over to a teen boy on a bike and shook his hand and had a short conversation. This is a quiet, clean, well kept campground….
No coffee in the house
Saturday, June 3rd, 2017 After an uneventful, quiet night at Laura S Walker State Park we are once again on the road. Having no coffee “in the house” causes one to pack quickly and efficiently. The gas problem was solved five miles down the road in a teeny tiny town called Hoboken. I kid you…
The people are home but no lights are on
Friday June 2nd, 180 miles into the trip. How can a whole town be without electricity? We stopped for lunch along Highway 121, Brandy Branch Road AKA Brady Brunch Road, according to Captain Jim. It was a quaint, meaning tiny, little gas station. We pulled in and decided to have some lunch and a much-needed…
DC Statues
One cannot help but notice the thousands of statues and sculptures that are scattered throughout Washington DC. Notice one and you are probably missing half a dozen more. These are great subjects to photograph as they don’t move. They can be challenging in that you have to get your shots without people in them. The…
Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
The first place we visit when in Washington DC is, of course, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. This is a must due to my very nerdy men. My husband, a fifth grade teacher, loves science almost as much as he loves me and that’s a lot. Our 8 year old son, gifted, cute…
Urban Legend not a Hoax
For many years we heard that there were monkeys living along the Silver River in the Ocala National Forest. Many people, myself included, felt this to be urban legend. Well, I have proof it is not. Back in February we took a canoe trip down the Silver River. It was such an enjoyable, beautiful day,…
I’m in trouble!
So my husband says to me today, “I can’t find any of our trip pictures. Don’t you want to share them?” Oops, I realize I get so busy that I neglect my blog site. I have a choice, either cancel it or use it! I guess I’ll use it. It just takes discipline. We have…
Boondocking and Internet
Current Temperature: 57 degrees Current Location: Ellsworth, Maine Current Campground: Seawall Campground Acadia National Park I will keep this short as we are sitting in a Laundromat waiting for clothes to dry. One of the problems with camping, especially boondocking, is the lack of internet opportunities. No, we do not have a hotspot. If we…
