AZ, NM, TX, LA – Oct 2024

October 10, 2024

Well, nothing like having the entire campground to yourself!  This was taken in the KOA in Picacho, AZ and that’s me all by myself there in the background.  I think there were only 2 or 3 other campers in the entire place while I was there.  Apparently, this campground closes during the hot summer months […]

NV – Sep 2024

September 20, 2024

Nothing but miles and miles of seemingly endless roadway, with absolutely nothing to see in terms of human life or services.  My trek through northern Nevada, though breathtakingly beautiful with its endless mountain ranges and cactus and joshua tree filled deserts, has taught me about sparse living.  While the southern portion, notably Las Vegas, is […]

What else would I put as the featured image for a blog written about Idaho.  Of course it would be a giant potato.  This particular potato greats visitors to the Idaho Potato Museum – a museum dedicated to everything potato.  But, I’ve learned there’s more to Idaho than just the potato.  Read on to find […]

A buffalo or a bison?  Honestly, I wasn’t sure myself as I’d heard them both interchangeably, so I had to look it up. The correct answer is this is an American Bison.  Buffaloes are found in Africa (Cape Buffalo) and South Asia (Water Buffalo), while bison roam in North and South America.  There’s much more […]

WY, MT – Jul 2024

July 23, 2024

Well, ah, ok 😲!  Not exactly something you want to see when arriving at a new campground!  Maybe I don’t need those water and electric hookups after all. But all was good – the only snake I actually saw was the one on this sign (thankfully!).  Besides this bit of fun, it was all about […]

Wyoming is one of those natural beauties that exists here in this country, and a state that I thoroughly enjoy each time I visit.  And this visit certainly did not disappoint.  Above is a pano shot I took of the Grand Tetons – majestic and oh so beautiful.  Just a sampling of the amazing scenery […]

June 24, 2024

What a whirlwind trip through Kansas and Colorado.  Got to spend time with wonderful friends and family, and checked off a number of visits to Roadside America entries.  No truck troubles, mostly nice campgrounds, and uneventful travel was the norm for this stretch of this year’s trip.  As for this sign above, I’ll cover that […]

This is where the exploration of this leg of my journey begins – Riverfront Park in downtown Little Rock.  A beautiful park with river-side walking trails, a playground and splash park for the kids, and an amphitheater – all in 33 acres stretching eleven blocks on the south bank of the Arkansas River.  It also […]

I’m outa here!  This is me pulling out of my Florida Home Base heading back on the road for the 2024 season, and the start of my 7th year as a full time RVer.  I wrapped up my pre-launch projects, took a quick trip up north to see my kids and grands, and now I’m […]

Lake Wales, FL – Apr 2024

April 29, 2024

I know April of 2024 was all about the total solar eclipse that was visible from Texas through New England. Sadly, not much to see here in Florida.  However, a future total solar eclipse is predicted to make its way right through central Florida and is scheduled to arrive in August of 2045.  So, assuming […]
