Having been in Canada for 34 days and parked mostly within national parks, Halifax (the most populous city in Nova Scotia) would be the beginning of the end of our Canadian Maritimes tour. In another week, we would be back in the states and saying goodbye to our travel companions Spencer and Lorraine. Our route … Continue reading Jul 21, 2023 – The Sea Bound Coast

Jul 10, 2024 – The Cape
Heading toward Cheticamp Campground along the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Fog over the Bay of Fundy adds to the beauty of it, whereas fog over Cape Breton completely devours it. That’s what we learned after arriving at the Cheticamp Campground within Cape Breton Highlands National Park. During the first four days there, … Continue reading Jul 10, 2024 – The Cape
Jun 28, 2023 – The Island
After leaving Fundy National Park, we crossed the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward island. When sustained wind speeds reach 40 mph, high-sided vehicles can be restricted. The bridge is 8 miles long, the longest in the world to cross over icy waters. It replaced ferry service to the island in 1997. Upon arriving at our … Continue reading Jun 28, 2023 – The Island
Jun 27, 2023 – Fundy Fog Forever on My Mind
A few hours after arriving at Headquarters Campground in Fundy National Park, I stepped out into the cool evening and headed to the Bay of Fundy. Breathing in the salt air, I felt the joy of anticipation and being in a place so wildly new and different. After a 5-min walk, I stood on the … Continue reading Jun 27, 2023 – Fundy Fog Forever on My Mind
June 14, 2024 Canada’s Oldest City
While visiting the national parks in Alberta last year, we got used to seeing signs in English and French. And after a couple conversations with native Canadians from Alberta and Saskatchewan, we got the notion that visiting Quebec would be extra challenging for English-speaking tourists, because supposedly all signs are in French and not English. … Continue reading June 14, 2024 Canada’s Oldest City
Jun 8, 2024 – Electra’s Collection in Vermont
The United States is filled with hidden gems and I guarantee you won’t find them unless you travel by RV. It seems every place we visit has a hidden gem and quite often, it comes with a fascinating story and/or fascinating person. And here is one of those hidden gems from Shelburne, Vermont. Electra Havemeyer … Continue reading Jun 8, 2024 – Electra’s Collection in Vermont
Jun 7, 2024 – Impressions of Vermont
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
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
