Wanting to be somewhere that felt more like being in nature after our overpriced RV ‘resort’ stay in Spring Hill – we were able to snag 2 nights at nearby Hillsborough River State Park (click for our review on RVParking.com) just south of Zephyrhills, Florida. This turned out to be a fabulous decision! We had […]

Our Secret Summer Mission – Operation: Dip Toes
This past summer we’ve been on a secret mission, and we’d like to share it with you. Just a fair warning.. the rest of this post is a bit more sentimental than we generally share in this space. The Secret Plan Last spring my father had received some extraordinarily good news regarding his cancer treatments. […]
EAA’s Airventure – At Last!
When I was in high school, my Mom noticed a small blurb in the paper about a local Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) chapter offering free ground school for students – with expert instructors volunteering their time to teach a new generation of pilots. I had never heard of the EAA before, but I’ve always dreamed […]
Fourth of July – Fair St. Louis AirShow & Fireworks
One of the perks of being camped at the Casino Queen RV Park is the incredible location – directly across the Mississippi River from downtown St. Louis and the Arch. Though the RV park is a lot more cramped and crowded than we like (it is little more than a big parking lot), the views […]
Roadside America – Epic Artists
Over on the Escapee Forums, someone asked what quirky museums RVers have visited in their travels across the USA. In compiling my response, I realized we’ve started a bit of a video collection of some amazing inspired artists. Join us for a little journey in reminiscing about some past adventures. (If you’re reading this post […]
Video Edition: Cathedral of Junk
Even though I grew up in Austin, I moved away before I was old enough to really appreciate the level of weirdness the city embodies. So this visit to Austin, we took opportunities to explore some of the awesome places we had only heard about. This past weekend while hanging out with our new friends, […]
Video Edition: STS-130 – Launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour
Since Saturday afternoon, we’ve been camped along the Indian River in Titusville, Florida – right off Highway US 1. We’ve been enjoying a completely awesome nomadic rendezvous with Sean Welsh and Louise Hornor of Our Odyssey as temporary neighbors (it’s our first in person meeting after years of cyber stalking each other around the country.) […]
Our Visit to Slab City & East Jesus
We had such as awesome time visiting and exploring Slab City – the remains of the abandoned Marine barracks of Camp Dunlap just outside Niland, California along the Salton Sea in the desert of southeast California. And I had big intentions of writing prolifically about it to share with you. However, I didn’t anticipate just […]
Salvation Mountain at Slab City – Leonard Knight’s Message of Love
Some people have a calling, a message they must deliver to the world. Most never act on this. But a rare few are overcome with purpose, and devote their lives to the call. Artist Leonard Knight heard such a call (“to my knowledge, it was on a Wednesday, about ten-thirty in the morning in 1967”), […]
Video Edition: Udvar-Hazy Center
The Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center is located near Dulles Airport, just outside Washington D.C. Just like its more famous cousin located downtown along the Washington D.C. Mall, the Udvar-Hazy center houses an incredible collection of aviation artifacts, including an SR-71 Blackbird, the Space Shuttle Enterprise (the one used for in-atmosphere flight […]
