I stayed at Canyon again this trip. I really love this campground. I found out the fastest way to quiet down a campground — have thunderstorms roll in. Incredible thunder rolling through the mountains and only a light rain that was dry in no time. I did a couple upgrades to my tent that I’m […]
After spending a week in Summerdale, AL and 4 weeks here in the Dallas area tackling an enormous to do list and spending way too much money on maintenance, I finally am ready to head to Colorado for my summer gig at Vallecito Resort. I’ve heard wonderful things about the Vallecito […]
I spend November through mid-March at Fort Pulaski National Monument. I had not been informed that the visitor center was closed due to damage from a tornado the previous May so I didn’t know I would spend the entire winter outside in the cold with no heated place to warm up, no indoor plumbing and […]
Let me see if I can remember all the things that went wrong packing up to leave Padre Island National Seashore after volunteering there for three months. Salt air is not kind to anything. Woke up to torrential rain showers. Oh joy. Practically no rain for months and then on the day I want to […]
I was driving in June 2015 day dreaming about where I could go. I don’t mean for a trip, but to live. I’d only been in Florida a year so I started beating myself up for thinking about it. What’s the matter with me? Why can’t I be happy in one place life everyone else? […]
Don and I finally found a window of good weather to meet on Dauphin Island after trying since January. The island is very laid back, not commercialized at all like Gulf Shores that is just across Mobile Bay, and the people are very nice — even teenagers said “hi” to us when we were out biking […]
Whew. Arrived back home Wednesday after three full weeks on the road. The weather really lent some added interest to this entire trip. Rained torrentially after I arrived in Dallas. So fun camping and walking dogs in pouring rain. Big Bend in December is usually warm enough for shorts during the day — not this […]
Traveled to Beaufort, SC to look at houses. Don met me so I could get his opinion of the area since I would very much like to make a GOOD decision on this next move. [Show picture list]
Delayed the trip by a week due to the tropical storm heading into the area and then another two days when two fronts met creating rain. I lucked out and then hit a two week window of almost perfect weather. The first stop was Charleston for 3 days. I did a long walk of the […]
Driving home from Charleston I simply could not believe how disgusting my vehicle was. It was beyond filthy. It shouldn’t be possible for a vehicle to be that dirty. Yellow labs shed a ridiculous amount year round but twice a year, when they change coats, they shed an almost obscene amount. I was aware they […]
