After being home for a few months and getting a new rig, we were excited to get back on the road for a shorter trip before the kids started school. This time, the destination was Helen, GA and then North Carolina to meetup with some friends. The trip started off great. Our first stop inContinue reading “Vacation to Helen Back”

Fort De Soto, 4th of July, and Red Tide
We decided we o try the new rig close to home at Fort De Soto park in St. Petersburg beach. After all, some of our favorite beaches in the state are just due south of here in Manatee and Sarasota counties. Plus, we had never been to “the fort,” but have heard good things. TheContinue reading “Fort De Soto, 4th of July, and Red Tide”
What size truck should I buy for a Fifth Wheel or Travel Trailer? Buy Once, Cry Once.
“What size truck should I buy for a Fifth Wheel or Travel Trailer?” This is an age old question (or some variation) that many people have asked in forums across the Internet. To give my best advice, I’ll tell you a story: After taking the long trip out west and living in our camper overContinue reading “What size truck should I buy for a Fifth Wheel or Travel Trailer?

Wolf man and Our Southwest RV Itinerary
We made it back home, and Kristi us had a long road in recovering from COVID. And in the couple of weeks it took us to get home, take care of Kristi and the kids, and run a business, all of my personal grooming went by the wayside. As a result I got home, lookedContinue reading “Wolf man and Our Southwest RV Itinerary”
Southwest Colorado Beer Post
Colorado is known for beer. There are too many breweries to visit without people thinking I have a problem. I call it a solution, but that’s just my opinion. So this post is focused on the few (the very few) microbreweries I visited or drove past while staying I a southwest Colorado. Ska Brewing ThisContinue reading “Southwest Colorado Beer Post”
Less is more…and a pottery store
So how’s Kristi, you ask? Well, a couple of days after arriving in Texas, I had to take her back to the ER due to shortness of breath. Sure enough, pneumonia in both lungs. As a souvenir, she was prescribed a steroid, antibiotics, antinausea just in case and something else in addition to the 5Continue reading “Less is more…and a pottery store”
3 Days To Texas
Our time in Colorado ran out without much to show for it. We did get to do a few things: We took an incredible train ride in Durango. The kids and I rode some great mountain biking trails. We took a glance at Mesa Verde National Park. But Kristi didn’t get to do much. NowContinue reading “3 Days To Texas”
COVID in Colorado (and Mesa Verde too)
A lot has happened during the past 36 hours. Went to a national park. Had a couple “shitcidents.” And had a confirmed case of COVID. Where should I begin? Kristi has had a migraine pretty much since we arrived in Colorado, so we haven’t really been able to enjoy the sights as much as we’dContinue reading “COVID in Colorado (and Mesa Verde too)”
Durango Train Ride, Snow, Brews, and Views
We took another train ride today. This time from Durango, Colorado up the Animas River into the San Juan National Forest to Cascade Canyon. The views looked like this… Snow flurry As we pulled into Cascade Canyon for lunch, we went from sunny weather to a snow flurry in the matter of 10 minutes. ThisContinue reading “Durango Train Ride, Snow, Brews, and Views”
Mountain Biking Colorado
We arrived at our new campground in Colorado this week. The first thing Harper said when she got out of the truck was “I’m gonna get some grass!” “Like hell you are,” I thought to myself. True story. Thankfully Harper was just talking about the grass outside at our campsite, since our last two stopsContinue reading “Mountain Biking Colorado”
