We’ve waved good-bye to Niceville and Rocky Bayou, and we are on the way to Slidell, Louisiana tonight. It was a pleasant three-week stay but now the weather is starting to get a little warmer and we’re developing itchy feet. While we were there I got some great pictures at Puddenhead Lake on the state [...]
Click here for images captured during the Ranger School jump last Wednesday. The page is pretty tacky, and I’m planning to redo it, but for now at least the pictures are available. I was in a hurry because we had to go to an internet café to post the files, due to running out of [...]
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, [...]
After being caught in a weeks-long cold snap here in east central Florida, when temps got as low as 21° Farenheit, the weather is finally acting more like normal and warming up a bit. It wasn’t too bad. At least I had a chance to wear the heavy wool hooded sweater-jacket I bought in Ireland [...]
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 [...]
This will be a very short post, since I’m just snatching a few moments away from studying, but I wanted to update our Fall travel plans here. We hope to get started on our snowbird migration by November 1st or so. This is our proposed route:
