For the second night in a row the SpaceX launch has been scrubbed. Yesterday it was to allow the liquid oxygen a longer time to chill, today we don't know the reason. According to the webcast to which we were listening, the launch may be rescheduled in a few days. A...
The AccuWeather app has promised us a day of rain and thunderstorms with gusts up to 40 mph. Since the sandy soil scarcely supports stakes, we took down the awning and packed up our outdoor furnishings. The rain held off long enough for us to cook breakfast and clean...
It was a day of varied activities. We purchased an ebook on minimalism which prompted a decision to clean out our utility drawer. UPS delivered a package containing our replacement license tag holder and Steve installed that. We headed out to the beach for a while...
The weather this afternoon has been perfect for shorts and sandals and a trip to the beach where we felt like the lyrics of Knee Deep, the Zac Brown song, "Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair." Totally relaxing!
In the spirit of "home is where we park it", we are home. We have the basics: food, clothing, and shelter and a nearby Publix for replenishing the food supply and a laundry room in the park for keeping the clothing fresh. The awning gives us privacy and a pleasant...
Today we moved to a new site, got set up complete with awning, rugs, tables and chairs right where one of the campground staff showed us. While Steve was grilling our dinner, we gave a tour of the T@B. Then as we were sitting down to eat, another member of the...
Today didn't start out so pretty. Our phones awakened us at 4:21AM with a tornado warning. It didn't take us long to decide to take shelter. We joined another couple and their dog in the ladies room until the storm abated. Later this morning we called NC DMV about...
Manatee Hammock is a pleasant little county park campground between Highway A1A and the Indian River! When we called yesterday looking for a campsite, all they had available was one site for tonight and tomorrow. We reserved it! When we registered today, we...
We found a spot for tonight! Moss Park southeast of Orlando International. In our first half hour here we had a Sandhill Crane and a White-tailed Deer meander past our campsite. Later while we were munching on chips both came quite near hoping for handouts. Overhead...
Actually this bridge over Old Tampa Bay is the W. Howard Frankland Bridge named after the Florida businessman who proposed it's construction and who participated in it's 1960 dedication. Then it was a four lane two-way span. By the time we were learning to drive,...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Normally this would not be a blog-worthy event, but for the past year we've stayed true to our local Covid mitigation guidelines and in staying home as much as possible, we've been making all of our food and drink in our own kitchen. Today we made a tentative first...
Technically last day of February is the last day of meteorological winter, but it sure feels like Spring to us. It's a glorious day here in the mountain cove. It's so warm that we've opened the sliding glass doors not only to let fresh air in but to make it easier for...
Finally, Labor Day 2020 has come and gone so the camping season should begin winding down. Although we’ve stayed isolated at home since mid-March (with the one exception of a quick trip to Sugarcreek), for many it's been a year to foray into the world of RV travel....
