The first time I visited Mammoth Caves National Park I was 20 years old and in a U-haul – moving from Massachusetts to Southern California. As I’d never driven across country before, and as we had the U-Haul for 12…
We took a real vacation for the first time in 5 years and spent a week in Maui, Hawaii! Yes, even full-time RVers need a vacation from their travel life every now and again. 🙂 Why Maui? Our good friends…
Of all the places we’ve traveled Florida has the most abundant and eclectic collection of easily-viewable birds and animals in the United States, and you can view these creatures at any of 510 parks and preserves along the Great Florida…
Hi Everyone! It’s been a while since I updated you on our happenings and whereabouts, so I’ll share where we are, what we’ve been up to, and what our plans are for the spring. We spent the holidays in Atlanta…

This past October right before the park shut down for the season we took our RV and visited Lassen Volcanic National Park. We’ve had Lassen on our bucket list for years, but it’s always been just a little bit out of the…
We packed up at Chehalis, WA by about 10am and we were on our way to Bend, Oregon. The route to Bend passes through the outskirts of Portland, and then onto Rt26 – a secondary highway that passes through the…
