Just outside of Deming, New Mexico is the quaint Rockhound State Park. We arrived around 4pm and we were glad that there were plenty of camping sites available. They have several full hookup sites, but we opted for a non-electric site. We were at the top of the hill and had the area all …
Not a well-known park, Prairie State Park has nearly 4,000 acres that preserves Missouri’s largest remaining tallgrass prairie. Did you know that tallgrass prairie used to be more than one fourth of Missouri’s landscape? Now, only one percent remains. Since it’s not too far from where we live, Robert and I decided to take the …
We had driven through Mammoth Springs, AR many times. It has always either been too late at night or too early in the morning for anything to be open. A few years ago, we stopped just before dawn and Robert took a few long exposure shots. The morning fog and the dim lighting was pretty creepy yet peaceful at the …
As we were passing through Thayer, MO we saw the sign for Grand Gulf State Park. We’ve driven through Thayer many times but we’ve never taken the time to slow down and take a look. Today was the day for an impromptu side trip. Just 6 miles off of Hwy 63 on Hwy W, we were …
We stayed put at Tims Ford State Park for the day. We needed to get some work done and since I figured out that we had some Verizon MiFi signal, we felt a ton better to get something accomplished. The Internet wasn’t lightning fast, but it sure workable. After work was done, we did some …
Sunday morning was a little soggy. That didn’t deter us though. We folded up the tent and left our campsite by 7:15 a.m. We stopped at the entrance so that we could take some photos, check the tires and make a smoothie. We were just under a quarter tank of gas, so we headed to …
The Subaru is packed and ready to go. Robert has rigged up our power supply for our little travel refrigerator and our traveling office. That consists of two extra 12v AGM Deep Cycle batteries, an inverter and several connectors that do a lot of cool things. He had been busy with the prep work for …
“I thought it would be bigger,” is what we thought when we first laid eyes on Niagara Falls. We were close to the area as we made our way to Chicago to see family, so we thought we’d stay a couple of nights near the falls and explore a bit. We pulled into the campground …
After a particularly long work week, with our eyes constantly glued to computer screens and our minds worn out from the hum-drum of the routine, we were ready to get out of the confines of our RV for the weekend. Friday evening, we still didn’t have a plan on what we wanted to do. All …
Do you like to just get up and drive just to see what you can see? Robert and I do. Sometimes we start driving and we don’t know where we’ll end up. Today we decided that we needed to get out of the hustle and bustle of Pinellas County, so we headed north-east toward Ocala. …
