Gulf Shores Diaries: Where Winter Comes To Die
Ah, Gulf Shores, Alabama—the land where winter is nothing but a vague rumor told by northerners in heavy parkas. For full-time RV travelers like us, it’s the ultimate winter escape. While our friends up north are shoveling snow and wondering why they still live there, we’re here basking in the sun and trying to figure…
Sherling Lake Park, Greenville, AL
We stayed here in March of 2022, overnight enroute to Gulf Shores, Pensacola area I think. I thought I’d blog about it today because I’m sorting files and came across the receipt! This is a cute little city park. Thirty Bucks! Many of the sites are just “on the side of the road” that runs…
Winter Air?
I always joke about “winter air” and summer air. In the tires of course. Just like your car tires get low in the winter due to the cold, the motorhome’s huge tires get “WAY LOW.” Like from 95psi to 75 psi! So when it’s time for a winter trip, it’s time to put some “winter…
Flea and tic protection for our “Pack”
So many campers travel with pets. For us, one primary reason for RVing is so we can take our pack with us. In the RV, the dogs are comfortable. Traveling, sleeping, living, our RV is their home. Yell “Who wants to go camping” and there will be 3 big hairy beasts at the door of…
Frozen in Nashville
I just stumbled across this draft, never published, from a couple years ago and figured “why not”?On November 15, we bought another house! This one in Sevierville, just minutes from the parkway, from all the restaurants and action, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Our bus has been idle in the driveway since we moved…
Oil Change!
I’ve been terribly remiss in this basic maintenance. Our Entegra’s last oil change was in October of 2018 at 21,800 miles!Thanks to covid, and a lot of sitting and hardly any travelling, I “just didn’t get there.”Last week I finally did. Aug of 2021, at 38,000 miles. (should have been 1 year/15,000 miles. At least…
Traveling again!
Feb 22, 2021 Wow, 2020 was one strange year. Yeah The Rona made it crazy, and the election was nuts, but that’s not the half of it. In late June, after we returned from Hilton Head Island (a great place and a fabulous trip, I’ll blog more about it when I have time) my darling…
Bob Seger!
Carol is finally getting her bucket list Bob Seger Concert! Last time we chickened out because of the cost, and then he cancelled all the shows due to health problems. And then he announced his Second Annual LAST ROAD TRIP! We bought 2 good seats in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Main Floor, 5th row center! Show…
Full Timers Once Again
We are about to become full time RVer’s once again! Three years ago, after leaving Illinois and full timing for a year, we purchased a house on a lake in East Tennessee. The kids and grandkids followed us there from Illinois. And stayed. And stayed. LOL. Don’t get me wrong, I love having them near,…
