This is where I broke my ankle/leg. See the steps on the right side of that tree? I managed to fall off my shoe on one of the rough rocks, tried to regain my footing, and fell hard down a couple of steps, twisting my right ankle, breaking the fibula (small stabilizing bone in the [...]
I’m posting this from my iPhone. Yes, we have a mobile broadband modem & router, but we’ve used all our allowance for the month — a paltry 5 GigaBytes — and have unplugged it until the 20th, when the account is reset. Thank goodness for smartphones with unlimited data accounts! This is another reason for [...]
We have enjoyed our stay at the Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park so much, that we’ve signed on for another week. So, we’ll be here until March 3rd, when we will start west, stopping in Slidell, Louisiana overnight before arriving at Chicot State Park, in just about the middle of the state. We haven’t [...]
A rainy day in (not Georgia)… Waiting for the rain to turn into snow, as promised by the weatherman, buttoned up in the cozy motorhome, we are parked for the next two weeks in one of my favorite RV parks, Rocky Bayou State Park in Niceville, Florida. Phil is catching up on DVDs and email, [...]
OK! We finally got all the paperwork straigtened out and new tags on the RV, so we’re on the way south at last. It’s really frustrating to sit around two weeks after getting into the RV, burning through our travel budget while we’re still in town, all because of some bureaucratic screw-up, but that’s what [...]
Yep, we’re still in St. Joe. It’s a long story, but to avoid tedium I’ll just mention the high (low) spots. When we took the RV out of storage, we noticed that the tag had expired, so we stayed over till Monday (which was a good idea anyway since I wasn’t finished cleaning out the [...]
Oops, ignore that map I posted the other day. Plans have changed. Instead, we will be taking the eastern route this year: With possible spontaneous variations, the dates and destinations are now posted on our travel calendar. We had thought about leaving earlier, but between grad school demands, doctor appointments and just plain not being [...]
We’re home!! Well, almost. In St. Joe anyway. We decided not to go up to Omaha this weekend after all, so we’re at the RV park in St. Joe and will be moving back into the house over the next week, and looking for a new RV storage place for the summer. Unfortunately, our house [...]
We left Albuquerque today, stopping for the night at the Flying J truckstop in Amarillo instead of an RV park. Not only is parking here free, but thanks to a card I got at The Rally last weekend, we can have a free breakfast in the morning, and what we paid for our supper tonight [...]
Today at The Rally we spent all our time looking at other RVs instead of visiting vendors booths. It’s fun to see what kinds of options all the manufacturers include. As well as making us appreciate what we’ve got (our Southwind is really a pretty nice coach), we got some more ideas for customizing our [...]
