Free Camping and fun on the Florida Panhandle

2020-07-12
On: July 12, 2020

As RVing becomes more and more popular, it’s getting harder and harder to find a nice campsite – or any campsite – during the high season in popular areas. And RV destinations don’t get much more popular than Florida in the winter. More and more RVers are making reservations at their favorite Florida campgrounds a full year in advance. Others find themselves constantly on the phone, spending three nights here, and two nights there, wherever they can find a vacancy. And did I mention that most Florida campgrounds are expensive? This year we made it our goal to spend as little as possible on campsites,Read More →

Four Desert Dreams and a Nightmare

On: December 7, 2019

Enjoy some silliness and beauty, and go face-to-face with a nuclear nightmare, as we visit White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, and the Titan Missile Museum, Tucson, Omar’s Highway Chef at the TTT Truck stop, and the Saguaro National Park in Arizona. Plus, another great free night of camping at a winery with Harvest Hosts! Dream: Driving west from Texas our first stop was White Sands National Monument. It looks like mountains of white snow, as far as the eyes can see. Except that the temperature is almost 90 degrees! These white sands are actually gypsum that has eroded over thousands of years fromRead More →

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

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!

First Day, Free Camping, and Foul Ups

2018-02-19
On: February 19, 2018

Wow! When we started our trip south (back in November) we thought we’d be posting one blog and one video a week. Now it’s ten weeks later, and we’ve got so many great things to share. But for now, this blog/video is about our first day on the road! A day with a couple of dumb mistakes, and a bunch of great memories. The scenery on the eastern shore of Maryland was so beautiful that we actually missed the turn into Cabin Creek Heritage Farm. Also, we had entered the wrong address—off by one digit is all it takes! So, for the first but notRead More →
