Reflections: Two Years on the Road!
As I write this post we are currently visiting family and friends in Indiana. Parked in the kids’ driveway with the sounds of the city replacing the sounds of nature. Lawn mowers, airplanes, car alarms, emergency vehicles, construction, and traffic. It is strange to be back in the mix of it all but looking out…

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…

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…

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…

The Last Leg of Our UP Travels

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…

A Return to McCormick’s Creek + 3 Dog Adventure Continues
With another week of the three dog adventure and to beat the heat, McCormick’s Creek was our next stop. With it’s close proximity to our previous spot and the next spot following it made perfect sense. I’m happy we returned to this park, it is truly one of my favorite Indiana State Parks. This time…
