Blountstown is a small town in the Florida Panhandle at the intersection of two state highways just west of the Appalachicola River. Most folks from outside the area have not heard of it and it's enough off the beaten path that through travelers don't even pass...
Ever heard of this place? We hadn't. We were just driving north on FL Hwy 71 when we saw a sign for a campground not listed in any of the apps we had consulted. We pulled in and found a delightful little Dead Lakes Park RV & Campground with a gracious host, a...
Wednesday morning we packed up and stowed all our luggage and treasures in the bed of Eric the Red and headed north to Tween Creeks. We and Lou and Bill have traveled together before. Or first road trip together was Arlington, Texas to St Petersburg, Florida back in...
The buzz around the campground was of the launch tonight from Kennedy Space Center. We choose a viewing site to which we'd enjoy walking. With a stop at Xtreme Ice Cream along the way, we walked out to the Atlantic and meandered north along the dark beach aware of...
We're settling here in Cape Canaveral. We'll be here for six nights total. Considering that our usual campground stay is one or two nights, this is a long one. The lifestyle is a bit like we had when we lived in downtown St Petersburg but the beach is closer. Today we...
After brunch with Gary today, we hitched Eric the Red up to our Gypsy Wagon and headed into the East. We phoned ahead to make reservations at Wickham Park and discovered they had no vacancy. Time for a change of plans. Checked the Woodalls app and a few other...
We started the day in Melbourne in shorts weather. We broke camp, hooked up the Silver Shadow, climbed into the Trailblazer and turned on the air conditioning. We continued our journey up US-1 and A1A stopping for one more look and the sand and the surf in Flagler...
We woke up to another glorious Florida winter day. Temperature perfect. Skies blue. We chose to just hang out in the campground all morning. Brought the arm chairs out into the shade of the trees and read our books. Then at midday we climbed into the car rolled down...
We headed south on US-1 hoping to connect with a friend of Steve’s from high school days. Didn’t make the connection but did discover Jonathan Dickinson State Park near Hobe Sound. We climbed the observation tower atop Hobe Mountain which at 86 feet elevation is the...
After a delightful chat with our neighbors across the way, we broke camp and headed out of Everglades National Park and south on US-1. We’re in new territory. We lived in Florida for fifty years and never visited the Everglades NP or the upper Keys. It’s a pleasant...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
