Now this is what I’m talkin about! Woke up this morning (way to early again) to a 73 degree outside temp and a nice ocean breeze coming in the tiny windows next to our bed. After waiting out a brief rain shower, we took the dogs for a walk right about dawn. Fantastic. After day…

Disaster!!!
Well kinda. We were heading out for niece Sara’s wedding back in Chicago. Only an hour or so gone, still in Tennessee. The Alt Fail light came on, and the dash started going ding ding ding… ding ding ding… This happens sometimes on a sunny day since I put the solar on, I ignored it….
Asheville!!

Back to the Smokies
Somehow, this place keeps calling to us. We enjoyed the West, the awesome scenery, the endless desert views, all that. A great place to spend the winter. But come spring, the Smoky Mountains is where it’s at for us. We’ve been here for about 5 weeks now. We spent a month at the KOA in…
Why Little Johnny Needs A Walk In The Woods
Nature – to most of us full-time RV travelers, it is the main reason we chose this lifestyle. We sold it all, left the rat race behind, and now spend our days hiking through forests, climbing mountains, and (finally) having a chance to smell the flowers along the way. We chose to make nature our…

We owned and lived in a 4000 square foot timber frame home on an acre with a built-in pool in the back yard. We also owned another home, which I used as my photography studio, and…
Texas Highways – Not For The Faint Of Heart
You know you’re in Texas when: Taking the tollway means you can haul ass You measure distance in time, not miles You’re not considered a real driver until you’ve survived Houston in rush hour traffic At least one member of each couple drives a pickup You take a road trip, and the longest part is…
