One of the strangest lands we've seen. Truly, the Joshua Tree is very special. What resonates with us most as we pull our home around the country is the experience of a landscape so different from the previous one, and so strange from our normal surroundings that it challenges us to conjure new adjectives to … Continue reading June 2, 20023 – The Adventurous Mojave Plant

May 29, 2023 – Icon of the Western Desert
“It seems to me that the strangeness and wonder of existence are emphasized here, in the desert, by the comparative sparsity of the flora and fauna: life not crowded upon life…” Edward Abbey The land I envisioned. With no AC and sitting on vinyl seats covered in old beach towels, mom and I drove my … Continue reading May 29, 2023 – Icon of the Western Desert
May 14, 2023 – Don’t Mess with Texas
Our home for 3 nights was Cranes Mill Park Army Corp of Engineer campground on Canyon Lake, strategically located between San Antonio And Austin. Vivian had never been to either city, so we had plans to visit both during our short stay. I’d like to say we made the most of our few days in … Continue reading May 14, 2023 – Don’t Mess with Texas
May 7, 2023 – If it’s Meant to Happen, it Will
Our second day on the road brought us to this lovely campsite, on Lake Seminole, barely over the Florida state line for a little bit of Georgia before heading west. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but when you decide to live and travel full time in an RV, you need a hefty amount of … Continue reading May 7, 2023 – If it’s Meant to Happen, it Will
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
Looking Back – Art on the Road
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 me to this blog’s topic – … Continue reading Looking Back – Art on the Road
Sep 25, 2022 – Hurricane Ian
It seems like a lifetime ago - on September 10th, 2017, Category 3 Hurricane Irma with winds speeds of 115 mph hit landfall approximately 26 miles northwest of Chokoloskee Island where our fifth wheel was parked at Outdoor Resorts (ORA). A few days later, we were taking pictures of our devastated rig that had experienced … Continue reading Sep 25, 2022 – Hurricane Ian
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! After six weeks in Michigan, we were more than ready to move on – too many memories mucking things up and we … Continue reading Sep 19, 2021 – Languishing in the South
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. All told, we came to Santa Fe to see one thing – the Georgia O’Keeffe museum. My determination was mostly driven by the fact that I had visited Santa Fe twice many years … Continue reading May 8, 2021 – Gateway to the Southwest
Apr 20, 2021 – The Best City in Louisiana
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
