An Ostrich Farm, A Mud Hole, A Hell Hole, and A Hole in Our RV

2019-02-07
On: February 7, 2019

It’s always something in as we visit South Carolina and Virginia. We visit Misty Morning Ranch Ostrich Farm where we enjoy Ostriches dancing, but our friends’ RV gets stuck in the mud! In Virginia we visit the National D-day Memorial, then get dropped by a tow truck when our wheel bearings fail. It’s all part of the journey! Places visited in the video: Ebenezer Park – https://www.yorkcountygov.com/639/Camping-Information Misty Morning Ranch – http://mistymorningranchnc.com Harvest Hosts – http://www.harvesthosts.com National D-day Memorial – www.dday.orgRead More →

ARE YOU OVERWEIGHT?

2018-04-25
On: April 25, 2018

When driving a car, most of us rarely give much thought to how much it weighs. But when driving a full-size RV, knowing how much you weigh can literally mean the difference between life and death! FYI: This is a somewhat technical post on RV weight and safety. If you’re an RVer, this is information you really need to know. If you just want to read about our travel destinations and adventures, we’ll have a new post up for you soon. Either way, we hope you’ll enjoy this short video! Every RV comes with a plaque that lists the maximum safe weight for the vehicleRead More →

Looking for an ideal place for camping, biking, hiking, kayaking, or just wandering through quaint little shops in a village nestled in the mountains? We discovered such a place a few weeks ago, just an hour-and-a-half southeast of Pittsburgh: Ohiopyle State Park. Strange name, right? The name Ohiopyle derives from the word ohiopehha, meaning “white, frothy river”—a good description of the Youghiogheny River as it passes through the 19,052 acres of forested park in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. We enjoyed several gorgeous autumn days in this park, and would recommend it to everyone who loves mountains, rivers, and fresh country air. We drove to western PA in our 2004 Fleetwood Southwind RV,Read More →

Flat Tires, Heat Exhaustion, Broken Bumpers, and Music at Walmart

THE MOVE – Part 3 Flat Tires, Heat Exhaustion, Broken Bumpers, and Music at Walmart It sounded simple. Park the RV in the driveway and live in it while cleaning out the house, then put the car on the new tow dolly and drive the RV to our storage facility in North Jersey. Once again, we prove that if anything can go wrong, it will. But at the end of the day, God gave us a small reminder of why we are doing this in the first place! Have any thoughts or questions about the video? Please leave them in the comments below. We’re eagerRead More →
