Leaving Niagara Falls we had several driving options to get us to Long Island where we had a wedding to attend. Looking at the map we decided to go through the Finger Lakes region of upstate, New York. It’s pretty,

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

Runaway Cows on the Bruce Peninsula
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

St. Petersburg (Florida, not Russia)
There is St. Petersburg, Florida and there is the other one in Russia (the one formerly known as Leningrad). If you are traveling in an RV, the Florida one is easier to get to. It is a big city, and

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

Gi Chi Gamiing Petroglyphs and $50 vodka
Gi Chi Gamiing, meaning “Great Lake” to the Ojibwe Indians, is Lake Superior to the rest of us. We have spent about six weeks touring around it, and now we are closing that circle. We left Wawa and headed south

Wawa, No (Live) Moose, But Plenty of Poutine
Leaving Rainbow Springs Provincial Park we crossed northern Ontario and followed along the shore of Lake Superior. We were headed for Wawa. I had found it on the map, on the eastern shore of Lake Superior, in the middle of

It’s a Doozy!
It’s a doozy, meaning it’s bizarre or extraordinary. Do you know where that term originated? The Deusenberg was a fabulous car in the 1920’s and 1930’s and when people saw them they’d say, “It’s a Doozy.” I happen to know

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

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.

Oh Well, Roll with the Punches
Hubby was born a fisherman. No one in his family fished, but from his earliest days it’s all he ever wanted to do. Maybe it’s that Manzanita Indian blood that courses through his veins, maybe it’s genetic. Who knows why

If we are near Atlanta we must be in traffic
Hubby usually avoids driving the RV anywhere near a major city. Get on a major highway, near a city, and you face unfamiliar interchanges, rush hour traffic, and frenzied drivers. It’s one of the reasons we stick to the back
