Last time I asked myself this question, it was with a “Holy ¥#%*” tone. I couldn’t believe I was living in a trailer with my family. I felt very lacking. I wanted my big house back. I wanted my every day comforts back. I even found myself missing the routine of work. We had the […]
So many parks, so little time
As we make our way across America to southern California, I have become increasingly comfortable with the fact that we can’t experience every great place and park that America has to offer. One year is a long time, and it seems like enough time to see it all. Not so. We’re realizing just how much […]
Fashion Friday! RV Style
Were you at fashion week last month? Did you follow along on Instagram? Have you switched out your clothes for the new season yet? Any cute new “pieces” (I despise that word when talking about clothes, so lame) you plan to purchase? Not here! Here in the RV it’s items of necessity only. Mark would […]
Camping and Hiking at Palo Duro Canyon State Park, outside Amarillo, TX
After miles and miles of driving through flat farms and ranches of central and west Texas, we arrived at the grand canyon of Texas at Palo Duro State Park. The state park spans a massive canyon with high walls of red rock with striped bands of yellow, brown, and white marking millions of years of […]
Home Is Where You Park It.
The other day Jane and I were playing on the playground for a special “girl time” while Wilson napped and Mark worked. Back home we would have girl time once a week and go do something special. I’m trying to do the same on our trip. This particular day was supposed to be rainy so we had […]
My biggest pet peeve about RV life
One of my biggest pet peeves about life in the RV is stuffing things, and the biggest stuffing menace is Katie. It’s a constant source of friction, albeit humorous friction, between us. Katie stuffs things into cabinets, and I come behind her to un-stuff and organize. Here’s what I mean: Katie stuffs things in bins […]
Camping in Smoky Mountains National Park, Cataloochee Valley
We spent a few wonderful days camping in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, mostly in the remote Cataloochee Valley. The dirt road leading over a mountain and then down to the Cataloochee Valley is pretty daunting, especially pulling a 21’ travel trailer. The road is only three miles long, but the average speed is […]
Giving Out Trail Magic on the Appalachian Trail – Waterville Road in Smoky Mountain National Park
In 2006, I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, 2,176 miles from Maine to Georgia over about five and a half months. On the journey, I had a lot of ups and downs, and I met a lot of great people in up times and down. When I met great people in down times, they always seemed […]
Home Sweet Home
Is there anything better than getting to spend some time with your mom and dad? I don’t think so. After all, that’s one of the reasons we’re taking this trip! We want Jane and Wilson to spend a whole year with us. While we were in Florida I was able to do just that. My […]
My Indiana Jones Complex
I can trace my love for adventure to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. A handsome archeologist traveling the world on grand adventures to save priceless historical artifacts, women, and children from the evil intentions of bad men. Yep, that’s who I wanted to be when I grew up. I so much wanted to […]
