It’s no secret that we love mixing it up. While we consider our homebase to be a vintage bus conversation that we roam the continent in, we love traveling and exploring by other modalities too. When we bought our bus five years ago (wow, where on earth has the time gone??), we did so with […]

Friends & Vacation Preps in Clermont, FL: Lake Louisa State Park
With a week left to go until VACATION (not that we were excited or anything), we had one final stop planned before getting the bus ready to put in storage for a few weeks. And that was a visit to the Orlando area to catch up with some long time friends who live not too […]
Re-Charging at Hillsborough River State Park – Thonotosassa, FL
After a week of awesome family time in Spring Hill, and two back-to-back social dates with dear friends in the Tampa area – we were ready for some serious re-charge time. With an upcoming vacation, we desired being some place where we could super focus on getting work projects caught up, and get some peace […]
Trials and Tribulations of Getting a Spot at Fort De Soto Park – Tierra Verde, FL
I’ve talked before about campgrounds that have a legendary feel to them due to how many in our RVing community have shared amazing things about their stays. Fort De Soto Park at the tip of an island chain in the Gulf of Mexico just south of St. Petersburg, Florida is one such park that has […]
Family Time in Spring Hill, FL – Barrington Hills RV Resort
Our goal for getting to Florida on this time scale all started with wanting to meet up with Chris’ folks before they ended their snowbird season in Spring Hill. The time had finally come to put down the landing gear, stow our tray tables and put our seats in their upright positions (we did not however turn […]
Finally… Florida!! Mountain Biking at Santos Trailhead & Campground
First… whew. It’s been a wonderful and busy past week spending time with family. Now it’s time to get the blog caught up. Comparing schedules with family and possible RV parking options in Spring Hill, arriving on April 1st looked the most ideal. Which would give us a few days to play around with between our […]
Eastward Bound: The Florida Panhandle During Spring Break
We love the Florida panhandle, and I had dreams of some time on the beach at one of the many fabulous state park campgrounds on our way across. Times in the past we’ve stayed at Grayton Beach and St. Andrews State Parks, and would have liked to check out some of the other coveted spots […]
Eastward Bound: Fontainebleau State Park – Mandeville, LA
Our next stop along our eastward repositioning into Florida was actually one planned in a bit in advance. We had been keeping in touch with our dear friends Forrest & Mary who wintered in Florida this year. They’d be on their way to volunteer at the CARE continued assistance facility at the Escapee’s Rainbow Park […]
Eastward Bound: Martin Dies, Jr. State Park – Jasper, TX
As we were plotting our continued repositioning east from Austin, we were keeping a close watch on weather ahead. Massive rain storms had hit much of East Texas and Louisiana, and road closures were predicted. We had also had several readers advise avoiding I-10 between Houston and Lafayette due to lousy road conditions in general. […]
Eastward Bound: Stop in the Austin Area
Last we checked in on the eastward repositioning, we had just left Seminole Canyon State Park near Del Rio, TX. Austin is what I consider my home town, where I grew up. Since my brother still lives there, it’s a frequent place we route through when crossing the country. Austin is also attracts amazing people, which […]
