After almost two months at home, it was time to hit the road again on Monday, June 16th for our first summer camping trip of 2025. Our first stop was in Bluffton, IN, just south of Fort Wayne in NE Indiana. Tuesday was a project day – Mark had...
So it continued to rain in Bowling Green until about 11pm on Saturday – apparently it was more than 2.5 inches of rain that fell, which is something like two feet of snow. I’ll take the rain, I guess! On Sunday, we spent the afternoon at the National Corvette...
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...
We arrived at the most magical place on earth around 4pm on Sunday and made our way to the Fort Wilderness Campground. We had read lots of really good things about the campground, and they were all true…it’s wonderful! The sites are huge and really private, something we haven’t...
We left the Keys on Wednesday morning (2/26); we ran into some traffic backups and it seemed to take forever to get back to the mainland! The main part of our drive was heading West on Tamiami Trail (also US 41) which goes between Tampa and Miami – hence...
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...
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...
Here we are, on our third snowbird adventure! This one is primarily taking us to Florida…around the state and all the way to the Keys! The big news to start with is that we got a new truck! After our trip in October, we had some concerns about 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...
