Follow us as we travel around the country. Below are my recent posts about our travels. The table below summarizes our travels while RVing.
- Visiting versus Traveling May 10, 2022Now that we live in a Travel Trailer you might think we are all about getting to our next destination and traveling long distances. Recently a friend was shocked to hear how far we typically drive between campsites.
- Campground Diary April 9, 2022Yes, we have seen Waldo (not the cartoon character but the village). But where are we now and where have we been and where are we going next?
- Aggressive Friend Making March 27, 2022As full-time RVers we typically have at most a few weeks and more frequently a few days to meet our neighbors. Wait a day and that neighbor with the interesting yard ornament may be packing to leave.
- Why I Love My Sticks and Bricks (Satire) January 12, 2022While you dear reader might be quite familiar with the joys of home ownership, many of the readers of this blog think they have found the good life living full-time in a Recreational Vehicle.
- Connections January 8, 2022“Where are you from?” Is perhaps the most frequent question we receive on meeting new neighbors. This question helps identify potential connections. Those connections, many of which will only last a few days, perhaps only a few hours, keep us from becoming strangers in a strange land.
- Six to Sixty Months December 8, 2021Six months ago the sales clerk asked how long we might need a storage unit. … At that point we had not been on the road more than a few days at a time.
- How Many Stars? November 2, 2021Every website seems to want ratings; Products I have purchased; hikes completed; campgrounds we have stayed at. But should everyone expect five stars?
- Hiking Southern Illinois October 15, 2021Previous visits to Illinois have presented smooth farmland and gently rolling hills. Southern Illinois is very different.
States Visited while RVing
We have visited all 50 states and had residences in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, Connecticut, Washington, New York, Kentucky, and Indiana.
