Mixing Lava Flows and Indian Ruins
It is the 4th of July and the RV park is having a pot luck and entertainment later in the day. Having already toured the town of Flagstaff and seen the Lowell Observatory, we decided to spend the holiday exploring

Life Off The Red Road
I have been pondering why life off the road seems to consume so much time previously used for such worthwhile pursuits as blogging regularly about our travels and keeping up with my reading and conversations with blogger friends around the

Joining a Caravan in Chula Vista California
Today we finally reached our interim destination, Chula Vista, California. It’s right on the Mexican border and is the gathering point for our caravan south down the Mexican Baja to Cabo San Lucas. No more snow or ice, just warm

Looking for Deep Fried Butter in Skowhegan, Maine
Have you ever had deep dried butter? How about chicken fried bacon? If not I imagine you haven’t been to a State Fair lately. There seems to be a philosophy at these fairs that says if you can eat it,

Of Sea Dogs, Portholes and Portland (Maine, that is)
Since we decided to get off the road and park the RV in New Hampshire for the entire Summer we have been doing a lot of White Mountain and Lakes District outdoorsy type of stuff. You know, hiking, fishing, kayaking and such.

Vive Quebec City…One of Our Favorites
Set high above the St. Lawrence River, Quebec City started as a fur trading port early in the 1600’s. Today, it has to be one of the world’s most beautiful cities. At least we would vote it one of the

Who Goes Over Niagara Falls in a Barrel?
The sound, the fury, the power. Standing at the very top of Horseshoe falls, peering through the mist into the abyss, a vertical drop of 165 feet to a shelf of jagged rocks, it’s easy to become mesmerized by the ongoing

Shabby or Classy? Campground Choices
Picking a campground is pretty straightforward. Traveling the Red Roads in our RV has landed us in hundreds of campgrounds. I can say with complete confidence that not all of them are created equally. Some campgrounds are spacious, well maintained

It was time to leave Parry Sound and head to Lake Huron, our next, and almost final, stop on the Great lakes tour. We just needed to maneuver out of the small site we had been jammed into for the

Parry Sound, a Comedy of Errors
Leaving Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario with a restocked supply of vodka, we headed for Parry Sound. We would need that vodka. Our drive took us along the North Channel of Lake Huron then South along the Georgian Bay on highway

The Not So Easy Big Easy
You can plan just about everything you need for a road trip, except the weather. We arrived at Fairview Riverside RV in Madisonville, Louisiana just as a cold front came through bringing 40 degree temperatures and driving rain. The park

The Redneck Riviera
I was trying to remember the book I read that originally introduced me to the term the “Redneck Riviera” to describe the beach areas of Florida’s panhandle. It was a long time ago. I remember it was a detective series

O Canada, Home of the Freshest Lunch Ever
We have driven the RV on a lot of back roads (and many of the major highways) in the United States, but at this point we had yet to venture into Canada. Leaving our shabby fishing camp in Baudette, Minnasota

Getting Gettysburg
Here’s an insight into Hubby’s priorities when it comes to scheduling our stops. We had a nice pastoral campsite in Northern Virginia, relaxing and enjoying the historical sights and visits with family and friends. We were planning on moving to

So, exactly what do you do all summer in New Hampshire??
Living in an RV means we have no lawns or gardens to tend to. Cleaning and maintaining a 300 square foot vehicle doesn’t take all that long. We don’t have a lot of storage so we don’t go out shopping

Conquering the Blue Ridge Redux
Winding our way north, the Blue Ridge Parkway becomes the Skyline Drive as it enters Shenandoah National Park. However the scenery does not become any less beautiful. The blue green haze of the distant peaks continues to draw you in.
