As we write new pages in Our Next Chapter we share those experiences with ourselves and anyone else that wants to follow along. We write this primarily for our own recollection when we return to an area, but we hope anyone can gain knowledge about these great visits we have made.
To buy some time as we made our way across the gulf to get to April’s eclipse zone, we stopped for a week in Fulton, Mississippi. We took a gamble with an Army Corps of Engineers campground having decent cellular service for the week. Fulton’s COE campground is an amazing find in a quaint little town. Continue reading Fulton Mississippi Recreation Area – Army Corp of Engineers
In March 2024, we continued across the lower US 48 on Interstate 10 from Tallahassee to Montgomery, Alabama. There we met up with some Wisconsin friends and spent a week back in the spot where COVID sent us running! Continue reading Montgomery, Alabama
March 3, 2024, we left Winter Garden RV Resort and headed north and then west to Tallahassee in the Florida panhandle, our home state’s capital, to check out this new-to-us area for the week. Continue reading Panhandling Around Tallahassee at Big Oak RV Park
It has been a while since we updated the blog, the last update being the loss of our cats in Tennessee. It is time to renew the effort of documenting our travels so that we will have a permanent recollection when we need it later. We returned for another predictable, but our last, season at Winter Garden RV Resort for three months. We celebrated our 25th year wedding anniversary in January! Since we were petless we both could fly home in January and we had visitors from the East Coast join us for some time with the mouse. Continue reading Our Last Florida Winter? 2023/2024
We share why we decided to invest in the “top tier” of the Thousand Trails campground membership program. We are not selling anything, we are sharing what works for us in case someone else has a similar lifestyle and can benefit from saving money in today’s increasingly more costly world of campground-based living. Continue reading Why Thousand Trails Adventures?
We finished up our COVID isolation in Tennessee, wrapped up our RV remodel, enjoyed some fun with the Great American Crawl at Windrock OHV park, celebrated some holiday time together with Wisconsin friends, and left Tennessee missing two of our furry friends. Continue reading This Little Piggy Got Crawled and our Thanksgiving Loss
We made our annual visit to Manassas, Virginia, after we left the Reading, Pennsylvania, area. While there we did some remodeling in the RV, and we caught COVID-19 from Jason’s visit to the FCC in Washington DC. Continue reading Remodeling the RV with Cooties
We finally have a resolution after more than a year of nightmares in trying to diagnose our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon issues with engine codes and performance problems. There are very few answers to these codes on the internet, we think this is truly the first honest diagnostic answer to this problem! (After 3 months now, we believe we can confidently say this was indeed the resolution.) Continue reading The Jeep is Finally….Fixed!(?) P0345, P0349, P0390, P0394
After leaving a little behind schedule from Wisconsin, we headed to State College, Pennsylvania, to have our Jeep checked out by a Youtubing automotive diagnostician. We stopped over in the Amish community Shipshewana for the weekend, stocking up on RV parts, and baked goods, and witnessed the six-horse-hitch world championships for 2023. Plus, we celebrated Barb’s birthday with a fun fall leaf-peeping train adventure. Continue reading Leaf Peeping on the Reading
Jason was very busy this summer at work with the culmination of a multi-year network upgrade project and Barb used this opportunity to spend many weeks with the daughter, granddaughter, and family. This post will highlight a few important events that occurred over the summer during the family recharge time. Continue reading Summary of Summer 2023
