Looking Back – Art on the Road
They seem to go well together. As many others do, Vivian and I travel in our home for reasons too many to count on two hands. But if there was only one reason, that would be enough reason to travel in an RV. Whatever the reason, traveling guarantees one new experience after another. Which brings … Continue reading Looking Back – Art on the Road
Sep 25, 2022 – Hurricane Ian
From Sep 25 to 28, we camped near Columbus, Ohio as Hurricane Ian made its way to Florida. A southward view of our home base at Outdoor Resorts on Chokoloskee Island, one of the Ten Thousand Islands in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sep 19, 2021 – Languishing in the South
A few miles south of the Michigan-Indiana border & 3 miles from our service appointment in Goshen. This is Kercher's Sunrise Farm, a Harvest Host. Had some of the best apple cider there!

May 8, 2021 – Gateway to the Southwest
Downtown Santa Fe with its pueblo-style architecture and the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi at the end of the street.

In one day, we crossed 3 state borders pulling the RV on I-10 for a total of 470 miles. It didn't help that the I-10 and I-12 sections in Louisiana are among the worst roads encountered. But compared to Louisiana's backroads, the interstate feels smooth. This is Baton Rouge around 3:30 pm. No matter where … Continue reading Apr 20, 2021 – The Best City in Louisiana

Jul 15, 2019 – Gettysburg
The bucolic farm scene spread out before me as I hustled to set up the camera and tripod in predawn darkness. The unfamiliar crisp air added to my thrill of being surrounded by uninhabited hallowed grounds that make this place so special. Behind me, another scene was unfolding, a brilliant pink sky illuminating a swath … Continue reading Jul 15, 2019 – Gettysburg
Jun 29, 2019 – Where Ken Burns Left Off
Two weeks into our travels and the tow mileage barely broke 500. That’s how we roll, slow and easy while making a call from the road to find out if we can check in early at the next campground. But, the high volume traffic indicative of the east coast more than makes up for the … Continue reading Jun 29, 2019 – Where Ken Burns Left Off
