On our way home we stopped to dream. The weather was cold and gray and rainy but the outlook was bright. We fell in love the the T@B Clamshell camper. As much as we have loved traveling with the Silver Shadow there are times that we yearn for just a little more room...
We started the day in Melbourne in shorts weather. We broke camp, hooked up the Silver Shadow, climbed into the Trailblazer and turned on the air conditioning. We continued our journey up US-1 and A1A stopping for one more look and the sand and the surf in Flagler...
We woke up to another glorious Florida winter day. Temperature perfect. Skies blue. We chose to just hang out in the campground all morning. Brought the arm chairs out into the shade of the trees and read our books. Then at midday we climbed into the car rolled down...
We headed south on US-1 hoping to connect with a friend of Steve’s from high school days. Didn’t make the connection but did discover Jonathan Dickinson State Park near Hobe Sound. We climbed the observation tower atop Hobe Mountain which at 86 feet elevation is the...
After a delightful chat with our neighbors across the way, we broke camp and headed out of Everglades National Park and south on US-1. We’re in new territory. We lived in Florida for fifty years and never visited the Everglades NP or the upper Keys. It’s a pleasant...
When we decided to visit the Everglades we didn’t expect a lesson in Cold War History but the Everglades was the site of one of the Nike missile defense bases - HM-69. We participated in the ranger led tour and our ranger had served on a Nike Site in the early 1970’s....
We broke camp on Pine Island and headed for Ft Myers. We stopped at a McDonald’s long enough to use their Wi-Fi to replenish our eBook library then went to Mass at Blessed Pope John XXIII Church. Wow! It may be the biggest church we’ve been in. After that we stopped...
It started raining in the wee small hours and continued all day and into the night. We didn’t have anything actually planned, no one expecting us. We’d had ideas of places to explore but decided instead to hang out the armchairs in our commodious tent and read. We had...
Started the day by breaking camp at Fort DeSoto Park Campground Site 38. Took a couple of moments to watch shorebirds foraging for their breakfast. Then met Kay and headed to Paradise Grille on Pass-a-Grille Beach. We fell in love with this place when it was Seaside...
After a morning meeting with our CFA, we joined Sally for lunch at The Columbia Restaurant at The Pier. It will probably be the last time we dine at that location. It holds a lot of memories for us but plans are for The Pier to go the way of all good things and to be...
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.

Both Sc@rlett and Eric the Red have spent the Spring getting covered in pollen and then these two days have been collecting road grime. So our first stop in Sugarcreek was at the self service car wash. While we were waiting for the taller and wider bay to become...
First night out. Full hookups so we can flush and sanitize our fresh water tank. Trying Saniclean instead of bleach this time. Also taking time to nest. Many of the things we knew we needed to take just got bundled or bagged and put into the wardrobe. Now it's time to...
The time has come and we are on the move. Just as the day lilies, the coreopsis, and the leeks are blooming and the butterflies and hummingbirds are visiting the fuschia, we are headed out. It's a lovely time of year in the North Carolina mountains but the road is...
