A Hiatus Away From Nomadic Life
Note: Playing catch up on the blog, as usual. This is from mid-May through mid-July time frame. Our trek back to Indiana was a quick one. We were back in Indiana after leaving Arkansas 8 days earlier. For us slow travelers it was a change of pace, only staying put 1-4 days at each place.…

Arkansas Continued: Sam’s Throne + Buffalo National River
This would be our last big stop before making the trek back to Indiana. It did not disappoint. In fact it was one of my favorites and we just left a beautiful lakeside spot. Sam’s Throne is on a ridgetop on the northeastern side of the Ozark National Forest. It is beautiful! The drive in…

Lakeside Camping in Arkansas
We found the state of Arkansas to be quite a gem. Having never visited before we had no expectations. With only a month spent in Arkansas it quickly became apparent we need more quality time with this beautiful state. For two glorious weeks we had lakeside camping on scenic and large Lake Ouachita. This 40,000…

Alabama + Mississippi Travels
After leaving the Florida panhandle, our sights were set on Arkansas. The original plan to go through Louisiana was ditched. Turns out the free camps in the Desoto National forest were no longer open to camping. Alabama through Mississippi became our route. Boondockers Welcome Property I found this Boondockers Welcome spot in Alabama that turned…

Tales of the Florida Panhandle
As I write this we are currently somewhere in the Ozarks of Arkansas and it’s May. Looking back I have plenty to catch up on. Let’s take a trip back in time. The time is March and the place is the panhandle of Florida. Our last two stays in Florida were very different yet I…

One Year on the Road!
April 1, 2022 marked one year on the road. In some ways it seems like a lifetime has passed. Our lives completely changed practically overnight (in real time it was 6 weeks) and we have explored some pretty amazing places in the last year. Writing this post is bittersweet. What if we didn’t do this?…

February 2022 – Part 2: A General Store, Homosassa, Silver Springs, Manatees, Dolphins, and More Alligators
Continued from part 1, if you missed it click here for that post. Camping – Part II Hampton Campground – Green Swamp East Tract This was my least favorite of the water management district campgrounds, although it grew on me during our week stay. It was smaller with more people camping here. In fact it…

February 2022 – Part 1: Kayaking, Caving, Alligators and Dolphins!
Pardon the absence but the month of February in Florida has treated us well. Quality time with our Florida family and lots of exploring have kept me away from the blogging world. No complaints here, it’s been quite a lot of fun this past month. Where to begin, so many new adventures and enjoying warm…

January 2022: National Forest Hopping in Florida
As we prepare for our departure I look back fondly on the last month. No exciting stories or days filled with hiking, kayaking, exploring but simply living our normal lives in the woods and I love every minute of it. The colder, rainy days mixed in with warmth and sunshine. Wearing sweatshirts and jeans and…

Barrington County Park, GA: Ringing in the New Year!
Barrington County Park may sound rather mundane but this place turned out to be quite special for a variety of reasons. This campground is located about 1 hour south of Savannah and is completely free! Now that doesn’t sound too special as there are plenty of free spots. But what this campground offered for free…
