After arriving at the Crystal River KOA early Friday afternoon (March 7th), we took Saturday morning for some much-needed downtime, and then made a short drive in the afternoon to Three Sisters Springs. This area is popular for Manatees due to the springs that maintain a year-round temperature of...
Our drive on Wednesday (Feb. 19th) was smooth and uneventful, taking us South to Highway 1, which becomes the Overseas Highway through the Florida Keys. We stopped for lunch at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park; we stretched our legs in their visitor center and by the beach. The...
Monday morning should have been our departure from Rapid City to start making our way East to Chicago, but there was a wind advisory in effect until late afternoon, with wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. That’s incredibly unsafe for high-profile vehicles like ours, so we paid...
For our first day in South Dakota (Thursday Sept 26th), we drove about an hour to Badlands National Park. We visited here in 2010, but like most National Parks, felt it was worth a return visit. Plus, they say it’s eroding about an inch each year, so those 14...
We had a long travel day on Sunday, Sept. 15, covering almost 300 miles to get us to the twin cities of Minnesota (Minneapolis & St. Paul). Our campground is a really nice regional park in St. Paul – lots of trees, nice level & paved sites, and full...
It’s time to hit the road again! After just a couple short camping trips this summer, we are heading out for a 26-day, five-state adventure! But first, a quick update on our blown fuse/refrigerator issues. Mark contacted the dealer where we purchased RoVer Too and fortunately they said they...
We’re back at it with RoVer Too! After several months off, we hit the road on Monday June 10th to neighboring Indiana. Before I get into the details of our trip, I have to shout out to Mark for his most recent project to enhance our RVing experience. The...
Thursday morning we drove out to Fort Morgan, about 25 miles West of Orange Beach. It’s situated where Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico meet. The fort was completed in 1834 and served the Confederacy during the Civil War until it surrendered in 1864. The fort was occupied...
We spent Thursday afternoon (Feb 8th) in Montgomery. Our first stop was The Legacy Museum. It is an incredible place, with four sections tracing America’s legacy of Enslavement, Racial Terror, Segregation, and Mass Incarceration. I can’t easily put into words the flood of emotions as we read and watched...
Monday morning, we ventured out for our final camping trip of the 2023 season! We headed about four hours north of us, to Door County in Northeast Wisconsin. If you’re not familiar, Door County makes up the peninsula that is sometimes called “Wisconsin’s thumb”. It’s bordered on the west...
