Heading South

Full-Time Travels

As we’ve gone about establishing residency in northeastern Ohio this past month, the subject of cold winter weather has repeatedly come up. Our response has been to quip, “Yes, but we have an escape pod. We intend to head south.” The time has come. We’ve successfully completed all the tasks necessary to become official Ohioans, added several more cold weather garments to our wardrobes, learned to take our boots off when we came in out of the snow, discovered how much propane we can burn on sub-zero nights to assist the Alde heater in the trailer, and discovered more delights in this region. Now that the holidays have come to a close and folks are starting to head back to work and school it’s time for us to embark on our full-time adventures. We’re leaving in chilly misty weather hoping to see the sun again. We’ll be in Virginia tonight and South Carolina tomorrow. Happy New Year, Everyone!

      We will, although it’s not likely in the immediate future. We’ll be skirting your state to the east and then to the south this month.

      This time we’re way to the west of you but we definitely need to plan a rendezvous.

    Good luck to you two wandering souls. I’m certain I could never get my wife to agree to do the same. And I’m not sure I want to either! 🙂

      It’s not for everyone but we figured if we didn’t try it now, when we’re in between residences, we’d never know if it’s right for us. And we do fully expect to to settle down again sometime in the future.

Rally in the Adirondacks

Rally in the Adirondacks

Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.

Slow Journey Home

Slow Journey Home

Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
