A February Side Trip Holds Great Surprises
Sure, the big summer trips are amazing. Thousands of miles and hours upon hours of planning go into the big bucket-list-check-off kind of traveling. Sometimes, however, it is the unexpected side trip that provides beauty, entertainment and fun that you just cannot plan for. We recently did a wild thing – we bought a new […]
If You Build It (The Holiday Celebration), They Will Come!
The truth is, you miss your loved ones when living on the road. While there are many families around the country and the world that live far away from their children, parents and siblings, it is a somewhat new experience for us. We are new-ish empty nesters, so that transition can be tough even if […]
Montana – Not A Tourist Trap But Rather A Great Destination
Our Montana summer has been amazing, and this is my final post about our experiences there. Altogether, our month and a half in the state warranted five blog posts, each highlighting a different experience and area of the state. In case you missed them: Visiting The Last Best Place Does Not Disappoint When History Comes […]
Montana – The Second Best Of “The Last Best Place”!
To say that Montana never ceases to amaze us would be an understatement. So don’t be disappointed by the title of this post (you will understand later why the best is still ahead!). As we continued with part two of our three segment tour of the Treasure State, we set up camp at a quiet […]
Visiting “The Last Best Place” Does Not Disappoint!
For his entire adult life, my husband Andrew has kept one bucket list location in his heart. Montana. Known to him only by reputation, the state of Montana was his representation of peace, tranquility and escape from what troubled him. He always imagined himself, his dog Jake, a log cabin, a big stack of firewood […]
Why Oh, Wyoming?! Casper and Sheridan, We May Be Back!
Stops #2 and #3 in Wyoming Life still happens when you are a full-time traveler. It is not a perpetual vacation. This leg of our summer of travel fun got hit with a little bit of “life”, smack in the middle of Wyoming. We had planned that the last two of our three stops in […]
The Midwest US – It’s Not Just For Passing Through
We have begun our first big “trip” since launching full time RVing in July 2020! Covid, state-based health insurance requirements and family needs caused us to tailor our early travels solely on the east coast between Maryland and Florida. But finally we are vaccinated, we visited our families, and we are heading west! The plan […]
Fargo, Georgia – Where Wildlife Outnumbers The Human Life!
Since my dear husband and I are not (yet) regular boondockers in unimproved land areas (#campinggoals), we are not often faced with the feeling of isolation and true solitude. We both grew up in a world without cell phones, where our parents were not able to reach us or determine our exact location all day […]
This is The Best Campsite Of My Camping Life
Sometimes the very best campgrounds have no cable, no wifi, no sewer hookups and limited amenities. These are the campgrounds that use their natural resources – provided by Mother Nature (and a massive man-made lake) to become among the best out there. Well, I have found the best – at least My Best – and […]
How Two Newbie FT RVers Became Tourists In A Pandemic
When you launch full-time RV life in the middle of a pandemic, it ends up looking a little different from how you imagined it. Sure, many outdoor adventures can generally still happen, but you have to jockey for position on the hiking trail and keep your mask at the ready as you encounter fellow travelers. […]
