Two National Forests + A Race Track
Uwharrie National Forest Our next stop was a perfect combination of location, camping spot, and plenty to explore. The Uwharrie National Forest is between Raleigh and Charlotte, roughly equidistant to both cities. For us this was the perfect stop between family visits. Two of Shane’s siblings live in North Carolina, a brother in Raleigh and…

Red River Gorge, A Rest Area, and A Hunter’s Camp
Finally getting out of Indiana felt freeing. As we drove across the bridge from Indiana into Kentucky through Madison, IN it became real. We were heading southward chasing warmer temperatures. Josie had the biggest adjustment. After 7 months of riding in the passenger seat of the RV while I drove separately, she had to find…

Colder Temps, The Toad, Projects, and Time with Family + Friends
During the back half of October and through November we had plenty to keep us busy. Hence why I’m behind on my blog posts. I’m finally finding time to catch up a bit. While visiting family in Michigan we finally found our “toad”. That’s RV speak for the vehicle to flat tow behind our RV.…

The Porcupine Mountains: Western UP
A short three day stay at Hancock City Campground allowed us time to get caught up on some internet work before our trek to the Porcupine Mountains. I also stocked up on supplies here, good call as there isn’t a lot in the way of grocery stores in the western most part of the UP.…

Copper Harbor + Trails End Campground
After 6 weeks of exploring the UP, we finally made it to the tip top known as Copper Harbor. I call it the upper peninsula of the upper peninsula. I believe it could be technically called an island. In order to reach this upper portion one must cross a bridge over Portage Lake. This body…

Adventures Awaiting Solar Panels
With three weeks under our belt off grid (not plugged into electric) our next site was quite the change of pace. Along with electric hook-ups we would have neighbors nearby. Although we were lucky during our say and only had a couple of neighbors a few sites down from ours. Van Riper State Park is…

Day “Trippin”: Western Pictured Rocks Edition
I’m trying to keep up with blogging about our adventures while on the road full time but I find myself falling behind from time to time. There is so much to do on the road. Such as exploring, daily chores, working, relaxing, maintenance, upgrades, supply runs, laundry, and much more. I’ll keep this one short…
