A Year of Awe-laska

There are many reasons to experience Alaska, whether to find yourself in the adventure and sport or to lose yourself in its immense natural beauty. It is difficult to adequately describe the awe and mystery of Alaska. One can simply experience this land for yourself and then describe what it means to you. The wonderContinue reading “A Year of Awe-laska”

Over the Mountains

Mountains are beautiful. Mountains are inspiring. Mountains are also intimidating when you need to get to the other side of the range and you have your house in tow behind you, but you just need to get over it. We won’t be able to give you all the details of our travels over the mountainsContinue reading “Over the Mountains”

A Year Down the Road

A year ago we pulled out of William O’Brien State Park in Minnesota and headed off into our new full-time RV life. In this first year we have experienced and learned so much. It has reinforced lessons we already knew and taught us new lessons along the way. Here are a few insights from ourContinue reading “A Year Down the Road”

In the Words and Footsteps of Muir

“The world’s big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.” We count ourselves among the many who are inspired by the words of John Muir and are grateful for his immense contributions to the creation of our national parks. As we traveled through California back in March andContinue reading “In the Words and Footsteps of Muir”

Our scenic visits included two NationalContinue reading “AmaZing Arizona”

And when we see a place for ourselves it allows us to create our own experience. Anais Nin said, “We don’t see things asContinue reading “It starts with See and has a Why in it”

Wild Florida

Driving though the Ocala National Forest it almost felt as much like we were in Minnesota as Florida. Almost. And as we began setting up at Rodman Campground State Park we quickly began to realize we had been missing something and we had just found it, to be immersed in nature, in the wild. WeContinue reading “Wild Florida”

Magic Beyond the Kingdom

It is now the year of ’22 and we continue to dance around Central Florida. Yes, the pun was intended. Central Florida is the area that’s somewhere between the Panhandle and the Keys and roughly centered around a famous mouse. Prior to arriving in Florida we had just one reservation, Peace River for 12 nights.Continue reading “Magic Beyond the Kingdom”

Christmas in Florida

Merry Christmas from Peace River RV Park near Wauchula, Florida. This is our first Christmas on the road. As of last week we no longer own a house. This holiday season is different for us and yet still very special. We find it interesting that the Christmas story involves a couple that was traveling andContinue reading “Christmas in Florida”
