After being sprung free from US Coach for our preventative maintenance stop in Vineland, New Jersey it was time to continue our journey north. Our next stop was a planned rendezvous in the Philadelphia area, and with the upcoming 4th of July holiday weekend – plotting a course that would keep us with awesome places […]

Peace & Quiet at Little Pee Dee State Park – Dillon, SC
Oh boy, do I have some travelogue catching up to do! We’re already up in New Jersey, and I’m several stops behind. But, such is life on the road sometimes, there’s just not always time to enjoy it and stop to share it. So, last I left you we had just barely escaped a tropical […]
Making Miles North & Staying Ahead of the Storm – Georgia & South Carolina
We left our lovely oceanside site at Flagler Beach with one goal in mind – head north to cooler temperatures! With temperatures reaching into the upper 90s in much of the southeast, we knew it would be many miles before we saw relief, but we had to get them done sometime. Driveway Surfing in Georgia […]
A Day at the Beach: Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area – Flagler Beach, Florida
Ok well, maybe more accurately four days at the beach. We’ve crossed paths with the oceanfront campground at Gamble Rogers State Recreation area many times. We actually have stayed at other parks in the area, Tomoka and Faver Dykes, and very much enjoyed them. As we would pass by via A1A, I wasn’t quite sure […]
Friends & Vacation Preps in Clermont, FL: Lake Louisa State Park
With a week left to go until VACATION (not that we were excited or anything), we had one final stop planned before getting the bus ready to put in storage for a few weeks. And that was a visit to the Orlando area to catch up with some long time friends who live not too […]
Eastward Bound: Fontainebleau State Park – Mandeville, LA
Our next stop along our eastward repositioning into Florida was actually one planned in a bit in advance. We had been keeping in touch with our dear friends Forrest & Mary who wintered in Florida this year. They’d be on their way to volunteer at the CARE continued assistance facility at the Escapee’s Rainbow Park […]
Eastward Bound: Martin Dies, Jr. State Park – Jasper, TX
As we were plotting our continued repositioning east from Austin, we were keeping a close watch on weather ahead. Massive rain storms had hit much of East Texas and Louisiana, and road closures were predicted. We had also had several readers advise avoiding I-10 between Houston and Lafayette due to lousy road conditions in general. […]
Eastward Bound: Seminole Canyon State Park – Comstock, TX
We don’t often think too far ahead in our routing, we prefer planning things a day at a time. On this particular repositioning, we know we need to keep ‘heading east’ and we’ll likely eventually make it to Florida. (You do start to learn these complex navigational things after so many years on the road.) We […]
Texas Is Big, Part 2 (Our Exit via East Texas)
Our time in Austin was jam packed with quality family time, and lots of social time. We could have easily extended our stay another few days just to enjoy some time to ourselves and attend to some errands. But it was time to move on, particularly since we had our windshield glass replacement scheduled north […]
Family, Friends & Fame in Austin
Wow.. what a whirlwind of a visit to Austin. When booking more than a week in a single location, it always feels like we’ll have all the time in the world to fit in work, social time and exploring. Then it goes by so quickly. There were several reasons for this visit to Austin that […]
