More than once I have had people ask me what fulltime RVers do to occupy their time when not actually on the road traveling. So I dusted off a blog post from 2015 that covers some of the many hobbies we and other fulltimers found to keep ourselves busy and out of trouble. What do […]
We discovered history and mystery in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, a charming little community located on the bank of the majestic Ohio River in the foothills of the rugged Appalachian Mountains. The county seat of Mason County, Point Pleasant has been the scene of violent Indian conflicts, was an important riverboat stop, and is even […]
Located almost in the shadow of the factory smokestacks of Gary, Indiana and Chicago, there is a natural wonderland where water and sand come together to form a wonderful natural playground where visitors can hike miles of trails, relax on the beach, fly kites, camp, swim, and picnic. Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore hugs 15 miles […]
Terry and I are beach people, and we are never happier than when we are feeling ocean breezes on our skin and have sand under our toes. So we made yesterday a beach day. We drove down to New Smyrna Beach and spent some time poking around there. It’s a nice little town, and very […]

Traffic was light and we made good time, with only one […]
One of my favorite singers was the late, great John Denver, and yesterday I was reminded of the line in his classic song Rocky Mountain High “I know he’d be a poorer man, if he never saw an eagle fly” when we went to the little community of Seabeck to watch the eagles that come […]
In a conversation with a new fulltimer the other day, he mentioned that the one thing he knows he’ll miss is his gardening hobby. Apparently he had a greenhouse at his former home and is well known for his roses, which have won ribbons in the county fair for years. He asked me what hobbies […]
