Autumn Leaves (and so do we)

Walking the River in San Antonio, Texas
We had hoped waiting a day might mean clearer weather for seeing the Alamo and the Riverwalk, but it was not to be. The wet, cold front that had been following us since New Orleans, and had put a damper

How to Visit NewYork City in an RV(Part 2)
I was tired after yesterday, traipsing around lower Manhattan and seeing all the sights. Some of the people (and dog) watching was excellent (these two were a favorite), but I wish we had been able to park the RV in Central

How to visit New York City in an RV (Don’t)
I guess you could drive it into midtown, if you really like getting stressed out. Crosstown traffic is a drag in a car, I can’t imagine trying it in an RV, getting stuck in an intersection, and having every cabbie

A Rainy Day Mission in San Antonio, Texas
We don’t usually drive the RV on long trips in the winter. In the past we have stuck close to Florida, where warm, sunny days are the norm in January and February, and there is no shortage of things to

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.

Northern Maine. It’s Not Bar Harbor, It’s Better
It’s just over two hours from our camp in Quebec to Jackman, Maine. Two hours but a world apart. Twenty miles over the border and we’ve traded French, urban, chic for North Woods back county. We arrived at our campground

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

Lac St. Jean, Quebec: Je Ne Parles Pas Anglais
When we decided to visit Quebec we wanted to see more than just Montreal and Quebec City, so Lac St. Jean seemed a likely destination. This large lake was north of these two cities, deep into the Province, and far

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 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

How To Run Away and Join the Pro Bass Tour

The Tale of Omett
Leaving Thunder Bay, Ontario we drove the RV along the northern perimeter of Lake Superior for 40 miles and made a stop in Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park. We can’t drive the RV and tow car up the twisty road to

Panic on Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
Are you afraid of heights? I’m not, but I may have mentioned that Hubby is. I rearrange our RV road travel so as not to encounter switchbacks, drop offs or steep inclines. So what was I thinking when I talked

Song of the South: Charleston, SC
We have visited many times, lived there both part-time and full-time, and when we are done wandering would like to return. (My first choice would actually be Manhattan, but Hubby won’t step foot in the place. Too much noise, too

So you think living in a motorhome, wandering the backroads sounds adventuresome. Dreams of places to visit dance in your head. You drive down the road and see that RV pass you by and you itch to get out there
