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 […]
Eastward Bound: Seminole Canyon State Park – Comstock, TX
We don’t often think too far ahead in our routing, we prefer planning things a day at a time. On this particular repositioning, we know we need to keep ‘heading east’ and we’ll likely eventually make it to Florida. (You do start to learn these complex navigational things after so many years on the road.) We […]
Eastward Bound: A Visit to Davis Mountains State Park
Last we checked in, we had just left Arizona to start our eastward trek to Florida. We’ve done this cross country repositioning many times over the years, and are always looking for new-to-us routes across the great state of Texas. One place we’ve never been is Big Bend, and we really had it in our […]
