The Old South: Vicksburg and Natchez, Mississippi
Driving down Highway 61 from Memphis and our stop in Clarksdale we continued south to Vicksburg and Natchez, Mississippi. Vicksburg, sitting high on a bluff over the Mississippi is an historic Civil War town. We stayed at the Magolia RV Park,

Getting the Blues on Highway 61
Delta Blues that is. Think Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and Wllie Dixon; juke joints and cotton gins. US highway 61 meanders south along the Mississippi from Memphis, Tennessee toward Natchez, Mississippi. We had been to Memphis before, but the last time

Black Dog Farm. Unity, New Hampshire
No this is not the namesake black dog of the farm, this is Lissa, our Golden Retriever, having a fine time running across one of its fields. She looks like she was enjoying not being in the motorhome for a

Life’s a Beach in Fire Island, NY
We left the rain of upstate New York, drove 3 hours onto Long Island and caught the ferry to Ocean Beach, Fire Island. No Rv. We left it parked on the farm. It’s always a roll of the dice driving

Nova Scotia Redux
I forgot to mention Peggy’s Cove. It’s one of the prettiest spots we’ve ever visited. My previous thoughts on Nova Scotia concerned crazy thunderstorms in Baddeck and the scenic beauty of Cape Breton and the Cabot trail. I forgot to

“Born on a Mountaintop in Tennessee…”
Sorry, I can’t think about Tennessee without recalling Davy Crockett and coonskin caps. A youth wasted watching too much Disney, I guess. Or, perhaps it’s the result of a week in Lillydale Campground on Dale Hollow Reservoir. We are thirty

A House Divided
It’s 150 years since the civil war tore this country, and in some cases, whole families apart. Not something that is in the forefront of my mind on a normal day, but we have stopped in Chattanooga and Chattanooga is

Nova Scotia: Scarecrows and Thunderstorms
Yesterday we were finally starting our five month road trip to New England, heading north through Georgia, happy to be on the move again. As we approached Valdosta the sky darkened ominously, lightening flashed all around and thunder cracked above.

Cherokee, NC: Gambling, Pow Wows and Pick ups
We’ve had pot luck dinners and country music in Flagstaff, Arizona. We’ve enjoyed Canadian bag pipers and a parade lead by a goat in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. But our most memorable 4th of July was in Cherokee, North

Dropping out in the Everglades
Traveling in an RV is not camping. It’s more like living in a portable studio apartment. We have all the comforts of home: microwave, satellite TV, full bath, computers, internet and access to a full range of media. Except when

Memphis in May
The month of May brings flowers to mind for some, but May makes me think of Memphis … and barbecue. Yes, I know, there’s always Beale Street with some top notch eating places and lots of great music. But you
