Vivian has, but I have not been to New England. Yes, you heard that right – Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island – nope, nope, nope, nope, nope and nope. Not even Boston. I’ve been close; upstate New York and New York City, Baltimore and other parts of Maryland, somewhere in New … Continue reading Jun 7, 2024 – Impressions of Vermont

Jun 6, 2024 – Running to Vermont
It takes us two days of driving to get to Florida's panhandle when pulling the RV. First stop, Colt Creek State Park. The last 10 days are a blur. I’m not sure what I was thinking except that we had six nights reserved in Vermont campgrounds that I did not want to give up, especially … Continue reading Jun 6, 2024 – Running to Vermont
May 23, 2024 – Time to Get off the Island
Our island home. Since October 21, we have been parked on Chokoloskee Island, our winter home. While here, ours is a remote subtropical lifestyle filled with snowbirds, palm trees and the Gulf of Mexico. While folks in other parts of the country are experiencing headliner weather firsthand, we here in south Florida are watching from … Continue reading May 23, 2024 – Time to Get off the Island
Oct 5, 2023 – Following the Arkansas River to Little Rock
The Arkansas River at the Willow Beach COE Campground, near Little Rock While parked at a campground on the shores of the Arkansas River, it was not evident to us that its water’s journey began in the Colorado Rockies, then dropped 11,400 feet while flowing 1460 miles through Oklahoma and Arkansas, and eventually would enter … Continue reading Oct 5, 2023 – Following the Arkansas River to Little Rock
Sep 28, 2023 – The Big Friendly
New York has its Big Apple, Louisiana its Big Easy and Oklahoma its Big Friendly. Does Oklahoma City live up to its big nickname? Having spent a couple days in and around the city, I would say yes – the campground host, the Uber drivers, the security guards at the capitol building, the park ranger … Continue reading Sep 28, 2023 – The Big Friendly
Sep 25, 2023 – A Bad Thing Happened in Oklahoma
Traveling from Colorado to Tennessee, it didn’t make sense to go 250 miles out of our way. But we did anyway. Of all the places we intended to visit east of the Rocky Mountains, I was most excited about the Wichita Mountains, which were a little out of the way. Not only that, our state … Continue reading Sep 25, 2023 – A Bad Thing Happened in Oklahoma
Sep 10, 2023 – An Urban Wilderness
A short 100 miles from Laramie, we arrived north of Denver at our home for a week. Leaving Wyoming, the least populated state in the union (about 580,000) and coming into a campground adjacent to Interstate-25 and located a tad north of the the Denver metropolitan area where almost 3 million people reside should have … Continue reading Sep 10, 2023 – An Urban Wilderness
Aug 30, 2023 – Land Above the Trees
If you’re going to travel in an RV through Wyoming and Colorado, plan to spend most of your time a mile high or higher. After all, both states embody high altitude living, with Wyoming’s mean elevation of 6700 feet, second only to Colorado which is the highest among the states at 6800 feet (in case … Continue reading Aug 30, 2023 – Land Above the Trees
Aug 30: The Bighorns
Sometimes, we like to leave the comforts of our home on wheels and take our tent into a wilderness area. These are places we cannot access with the fifth wheel (or are not comfortable doing so!). Two weeks at an RV park in Sheridan, Wyoming gave us plenty of time to use our tent and … Continue reading Aug 30: The Bighorns
Aug 25, 2023 – Cowboys and Equality
Welcome to Wyoming, the proudest state in the U.S. Show your respect and a genuine interest and you will meet the friendliest Wyomingites that will reciprocate those feelings and engage you in conversation while proudly sharing their state’s history and many firsts. Wyoming has a lot of firsts too – national park (although technically Montana … Continue reading Aug 25, 2023 – Cowboys and Equality
