From Memphis, New Orleans was a stretch drive for us. We decided to do an overnight halfway and right off the expressway. We are learning more and more from prior stops so we were totally prepared with food for the stop and even had the walkie talkies charged! Wouldn’t you know it. The first andContinue reading “NOLA WOW!”

We left Columbus-Belmont a week early since Kimberly had 10 days off and we were getting cold. We were reserved at Tom Sawyer RV park for 2 weeks but they were able to find us a spot for the early week. After one week in site 112, we moved about 50ft. away to site 101;Continue reading “Three weeks in Memphis”

We are learning the differences between State Parks and Private Parks. There is a huge educational piece that comes with State Parks and the land is mostly untouched. Services are sparse and normally the Parks are well into the woods. This one was an hour from a gas station! This was the park to beContinue reading “Columbus-Belmont State Park”

Brown County State Park in Nashville Indiana was home base for 2 weeks where we could visit family, host family hikes and meals, and meet our newest family babies. We planned this stop months ago knowing we would be bathed in love and surrounded by family and that’s exactly what happened. Brown County State ParkContinue reading “Brown County State Park= Family”

Frankfort Kentucky: Bourbon, Bourbon, Bourbon, Horses… I had a great week in Frankfort while Kimberly traveled for work.I went to an outdoor sculpture museum and checked out some local pubs and breweries. I don’t drink Bourbon but it was still fun to learn about it. And they take it seriously in Frankfort. I was soContinue reading “A Week in Frankfort, KY”

We try to split up our stays between State Parks and Private Parks for the most part. When I choose spots, I try to be within an hour of a hub airport so Kimberly can travel, and near enough to “stuff” I can do by bike. Sometimes, but rarely, I take her to the airportContinue reading “The middle of nowhere and completely offline: Ryerson Station State Park in Wood Ridge, PA.”

We made our first “on the fly” itinerary change when we left our site in Hershey, PA a week early to set up camp near Auntie in the Berks. Kimberly and I have been up there on many occasions but not since COVID and not since the Ashman’s sold their house in Great Barrington. OriginallyContinue reading “The Massachusetts Berkshires”

I think most people visit Hershey for the chocolate. There are tours and samples and rides and parks, etc. Milton Hershey was quite the philanthropist. Here’s some of what Wikipedia says… Since Hershey and his wife could not have children, they decided to help others, establishing the Hershey Industrial School with a Deed of Trust in 1909.[7]Continue reading “Hershey, PA”

In a word: Family. We chose a week in Elkton, MD because we love our family and extended family and we have them in this area. We also needed an airport for Kimberly to fly out and back from and the Philadelphia airport was within our hour rule. I was her UBER driver because IContinue reading “Why Elkton, MD?”

What a pleasant surprise this small town was. Staunton (pronounced Stan-ten) has been acclaimed as one of the “Best Small Towns in America” and had everything from breathtaking scenery to cultural museums, art galleries, wonderful restaurants and one of the best local farmers market I’ve ever been to. We arrived on Sunday and immediately knewContinue reading “A Week in Staunton, VA”
