January 2022: National Forest Hopping in Florida
As we prepare for our departure I look back fondly on the last month. No exciting stories or days filled with hiking, kayaking, exploring but simply living our normal lives in the woods and I love every minute of it. The colder, rainy days mixed in with warmth and sunshine. Wearing sweatshirts and jeans and […]

Barrington County Park, GA: Ringing in the New Year!
Barrington County Park may sound rather mundane but this place turned out to be quite special for a variety of reasons. This campground is located about 1 hour south of Savannah and is completely free! Now that doesn’t sound too special as there are plenty of free spots. But what this campground offered for free […]

Our Most Scenic Camping Spot
I should say, thus far. Along with the most scenic spot the drive to said spot was beautiful. We drove along H58 through Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. This is a drive I highly recommend if you find yourself in the area. This section connects the towns of Grand Marais (east) to Munising (west). After looking […]

‘Day Trippin’ in the UP: Northeastern Edition
As we are staying put a bit longer at each place we are venturing out for day trips. Leaving our trusty home, Ralphie, behind as our base and traveling to nearby areas in the “mini-moose”, aka the 1996 Volvo 960. (Our previous Volvo was “The Moose”). You should expect to see more of these “day […]

A Tale of Two Parks
Continuing our trek north I must tell the tale of 2 very different park experiences. As I’ve mentioned, traveling during the summer months presents challenges finding spots. Thus far we like sticking to state parks over private campgrounds mostly due to costs. I have yet to check availability at other types of campgrounds but my […]

A quick explanation. The website Boondockers Welcome is all about connecting property owners with people traveling via a self […]

Ionia State Recreation Area – Ionia, MI + Car Trade
Our first official Michigan park since we started this full time RV adventure. After leaving Shane’s family’s house we trekked north about 2 hours to Ionia SRA. You might be wondering how we picked our first stop. Simply, campsite availability. The coastal parks are all booked up so we headed up the middle of the […]

Free Camping – Linton, IN
With the weekend on the horizon, we set our sights on a free spot to park it. Our good friend, Troy bought some property near Linton, IN where his camper is currently parked. He said use it anytime. We asked “how about this weekend?”. The reply was a resounding “go for it”. The travel day […]

Salamonie Lake – Andrews, IN
As we still have some business to tend to in Indiana, we opted for five days at Salamonie Lake on our way back to the Indianapolis area. And we were not disappointed. Since we were camping Sunday through Thursday night there was no trouble scoring a site with a lake view. Plus the area we […]

Waiting for Daylight : A Kayaking Adventure
This year we purchased kayaks as we fell in love kayaking at our friend’s place in southern Indiana last year. We knew we had to have our own. After much research, consideration, and time we decided upon two inflatable kayaks, the Intex Excursion Pro. Although we were skeptical at first I must say they are […]
