When we’re lucky, we’ll have WiFi directly in some of the campsites where we’ll be staying, but that hasn’t been the case since we left our friends’ house in IN. So, here we were setting up some posts from the last few days from a nearby lodge. It was quite comfy and convenient sitting there…
Mount Magazine is a really nice state park that we just happened to stumble upon while we were looking up places to rock climb nearby. It was a little over an hour drive from our campsite. The state park sits up on the ridge overlooking a large valley. The views are amazing. There is a…
Petit Jean State Park is a real gem. We would recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in this region of Arkansas. It reminds us a bit of Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. The RV park is nice and spacious, surrounded by pine trees, and near Lake Bailey. During the week we haven’t run…
Cooking in our RV really isn’t all that different from cooking at home. We have a microwave, a three burner stove top, and a small oven. We are able to prep things over the stove top on a wooden cutting board we can lay over the top, on the cutting board that covers half of…
After spending a little more time in Evansville, IN, as well as taking a side trip to IL to see friends K and J and to watch the Kentucky Derby, we drove down to Arkansas. In that day of driving, we were in IN, KY, TN, MO, and AR, wow! Crossing the Mississippi River(Wir fahren…
After months of preparation we are now on the road. We are so thrilled to have kick started our adventure. And here is the perfect place to again thank everyone for their support as we planned for this get-away. The response we received from friends, family, and coworkers was overwhelmingly positive and we are so…
We sure have done a lot of work over the last month getting ready to go. First work, then play. I won’t bore you with the To Do list, but suffice it to say that packing our home and storing everything, packing our trailer, final car work, and all of the other prep work along…
We figured there would be a breaking in period when we first got the trailer, time spent learning how things worked, ironing out the kinks, and so on. Boy did we have an interesting first time out. Our new trailer had arrived at the dealership, so we went up the following weekend to sign the…
Koala joined our family in September of last year. We had been toying with the idea of getting a trailer of our own. It probably started when we vacationed with my Dad the September before that in his awesome Class A RV. We’d had a great time touring Utah National Parks, staying in RV parks,…
C’s point of view: Maybe there’s something in my blood that makes me want to move on…Army blood…from all those years moving around as an Army brat? It could be! Before moving to the DC area, I had never lived in any one place more than 3 years, and sometimes much less than that. Before…
