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...

Before I share this leg of the trip, while we were in St. Augustine, we did some ‘decorating’ in the trailer. You may recall last summer we had some issues with our refrigerator, and we weren’t sure if the dealer would have to replace it, so I removed all...

For our first day of fun in St. Augustine, we decided to take an Old Town Trolley Tour, to introduce us to the city and give us a preview of the many things to do & see here. Technically, it’s a hop-on, hop-off tour, but we stayed on for...

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 are staying at Medora Campground, about ½ mile from the entrance to the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park; what a treat to be so close, and surrounded by such incredible views! We took a walk after we finished setting up, to check out the scenery! And...

Our latest adventure started Monday morning, as we headed East and stopped at Indiana Dunes National Park. It’s only about an hour from our house, but we hadn’t yet visited. We headed to the Visitor Center and watched the film about the park and the dunes, and picked up...

We packed up and left Mississippi Saturday morning. After all the rain on Friday, everything was caked in mud by Saturday morning. Yuck! Is that where Mississippi Mud Pie comes from? Shortly after we left the campground, I remembered that I had forgotten to latch the refrigerator…this is a...

Wednesday morning started out a bit disappointing; we headed to nearby “Route 66 State Park” to learn more about The Mother Road…but when we arrived, the sign on the visitor’s center door said they were closed for repairs. Oh well…I’m just glad it was only about a 10-minute drive...

Friday was our last day in Maine and the forecast was a little dicey, with clouds and a chance of rain most of the day. It started out okay, though, so we went to the Asticou Azalea Garden (on my list…not necessarily on the guys’ list). I asked Connor...

So I’m cheating a little bit with this trip. The blog is technically for RoVer’s adventures, and for this trip, our Subaru Forester is subbing in for RoVer (So maybe FoVer? Or SuVer?). It really wasn’t practical to bring RoVer, since this trip includes three humans and RoVer is...
