On Monday evening at sunset, aboard our new vessel Y-Not, we made our relationship partnership legal to the state of Florida. It was a small intimate zany marriage license signing event (some might call it a ‘wedding’) with just our parents and a local notary. My father, who passed four years ago today, I know was […]

Our Last Stop as Full-Time RVers: Koreshan State Historic Site (& Boat Closing!!)
Ok, one final post to wrap up our RVing winter before we shift gears to talking about our new boat! Everything was coming together post survey right on track, which meant we needed to get our butts closer to Punta Gorda to take delivery. We’d also need to be near civilization to take care of […]
Myakka River State Park – Sarasota, FL: In Search of Bad Signal
The thought of intentionally seeking out places with bad cellular signal would have been unfathomable just a few years ago. But we’re in the middle of another round of signal enhancing testing for RVMobileInternet, and needed to find a place with very weak signal to really put the gear to the test. With a denser […]
A Two Week Stay at Jonathan Dickinson State Park – Jupiter, FL
First of all, huge gratitude for the amazing outpouring of support & excitement over our ‘Change – The Only Constant‘ post. You have warmed our hearts tremendously! Ok, next – I need to do some speed blogging as I’m three stops behind – and we now own a boat!! Ahhhhhh. Life is moving fast, and there’s […]
Dupuis Water Management Area, Indiantown (More Free Florida Boondocking) & The Dawn of Unlimited Cellular Data
We were inbetween reservations snagged around the state of Florida in prime winter season, which meant trying out another of Florida’s Free Boondocking locations. We were excited. A few days in a spot other bloggers had positively reported on this season. Perhaps we’d get some hiking in? Chill out. Relax. While it was only a couple […]
Ortona South Campground, A Wildfire Scare & Boat Hunt Update
First of all, big thanks to Kiki for taking over the blog last week. What a whirlwind of non-stop breaking news stories as all four cellular carriers re-vamped their unlimited data plans and a new 250GB & 500GB AT&T data plan became available. We got a wee bit sleep deprived and are just now catching up. […]
Dinner Island Ranch WMA – Free Florida Boondocking
My people are super busy this week doing work stuff (apparently, Verizon launched a new Unlimited Data Plan this week – and that’s kinda big news). So they told me I could be more useful if I caught up the blog, instead of annoying them to go for a walk constantly. Silly people. Ok, so […]
A Dam Fine View at W.P. Franklin Campground – Alva, Florida
Next stop would have us venturing into southwestern Florida to attend Looper-palooza – a convergence of those at various stages of exploring The Great Loop. The event was in Fort Myers, and we anticipated finding last minute camping would be a challenge. However a quick call to the local Elks Club confirmed we’d have an easy […]
The Florida RV SuperShow & Self-Driving RVs?!?
We’ve been in Florida during winters before when the big Florida RV SuperShow happens in Tampa. Being averse to crowds, we had never made attending a priority. I honestly hadn’t really even looked at the dates to realize we’d be in the area until an e-mail showed up that basically said: Would you like to […]
Looking for Peace & Quiet? Skip Lake Manatee State Park – Bradenton, FL
Snagging last minute spots in the high season is kinda fun if you’re willing to go with the flow. Sometimes you score big time with an awesome site (like our last stop – Oscar Scherer State Park), and sometimes… well… Lake Manatee State Park – Bradenton, FL I was excited to be able to snag […]
