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 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: 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
Jul 22, 2023 – Canada’s Emerald City
A typical evening at Tunnel Mt Trailer Court in Banff National Park as we walk back to our campsite - Cascade Mountain in the background, elk in the foreground. This scene was about 500 feet from our campsite. It was our evening ritual to walk to this lookout where you can see the Bow River … Continue reading Jul 22, 2023 – Canada’s Emerald City
Fulltime RVing – Eleven Tools we Cannot Live Without
Wisdom is commonly described this way- "If I only knew then what I know now". Such is fulltime living in an RV. Four years of it can be summarized as follows - an accumulation of trials and errors, painstaking learning curves that rely heavily on YouTube videos, the occasional and quite gratifying "high five" when … Continue reading Fulltime RVing – Eleven Tools we Cannot Live Without
Aug 28, 2022 – The Other Side of Michigan
Imagine traveling the United States in an RV going places you’ve always wanted to see. Think about those places for a minute – do they include Wamego, Kansas or Natchitoches, Louisiana? What about Alpena, Michigan? None of these on your list? Too bad because your travel itinerary may be lacking in a genuine American tour. … Continue reading Aug 28, 2022 – The Other Side of Michigan
Jul 6, 2019 – Fightin’ for our Rats
Feeling relieved to have survived the 120-mile drive on I-95, we happily pulled into Santee State Park’s spacious Cypress View Campground. We backed in easily to our site that appeared to be the only empty one in the middle of a holiday weekend. The next day, we visited Fort Sumter and Charleston and came back … Continue reading Jul 6, 2019 – Fightin’ for our Rats
Jun 21, 2019 – Friendly Chickens & Zombies in Georgia
Our languid travels got us barely over the Florida-Georgia border to our next campground where the RV would be well shaded under the oak trees draped thick with Spanish moss. Surrounded by salt marshes that extend gently toward the ocean, we have a long way to go before we escape the heat and humidity. But … Continue reading Jun 21, 2019 – Friendly Chickens & Zombies in Georgia
Jun 16, 2019 – Springing into Action
Driving in Florida, in the summer. Our five-month trip begins here. Our tow route to Blue Springs State Park. Avoid driving I-4 through Orlando while pulling at all costs! Our 250-mile towing route from Chokoloskee Island to Blue Spring State Park began and ended without drama. Well, maybe a little drama as we drove I-4 … Continue reading Jun 16, 2019 – Springing into Action
