    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…

  • January 2022:  National Forest Hopping in Florida

    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. …

  • Two National Forests + A Race Track

    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,…

  • Red River Gorge, A Rest Area, and A Hunter’s Camp

    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.

    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…

    Sorry for the hiatus from here. No we did not quit RVing nor did we fall off the face of the earth, I’m just behind on updating my blog posts. The past month and half have kept us quite busy with projects and visiting family and friends. But before I…

    Six Months on the Road: The Journey Continues

    I originally wrote the rough draft of this post two weeks ago. Now with fall fully taking hold with colder days and darkness descending earlier each night, I wonder where the time went. It’s time I finish and publish this post. Here is the updated version. Taking the training wheels…

  • The Last Leg of Our UP Travels

    The Last Leg of Our UP Travels

    I must say it pains me to write this post. With our time in the UP drawing to a close I only wish we could stay longer. The UP is truly a special place. We found home here. Veterans Memorial Campground When we left the Porcupine Mountains we needed an…

  • The Porcupine Mountains:  Western UP

    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…

  • Copper Harbor + Trails End Campground

    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…
