Year: 2019
Portland, TX – End of Year
December 31, 2019As I complete my first month here in Portland, TX and close out 2019, I can’t help but reflect back to all that I’ve done this year. I’m truly blessed and privileged to live this full-time RV lifestyle, and travel around the country visiting and seeing all the many wonderful amenities that exists here in […]

Austin, TX – A Great Month
December 8, 2019What a wonderful month of November. I spent the better part of the month in the terrific town of Austin, visiting with family and playing tourist. Then, I escaped for a week and flew back to MD to be with family and friends for Thanksgiving, and to visit with my new granddaughter. To say it […]

Waco, TX – Final Weeks
November 7, 2019It was yet another fast and furious two weeks that once again went by too fast. I managed to get in all the sight seeing I had on my list, and even a few that were not on the list. I would have liked to have seen more of the local family, but I realize […]

Waco, TX – First Half
October 24, 2019I’ve booked four weeks in Waco, two weeks at two different Corps of Engineer (COE) sites along Lake Waco. I’ve just finished my first two weeks at Airport Park COE, and yesterday moved to Midway Park COE on the other side of the lake. Not as scenic from my actual site, but a nice place […]

Hot Springs, AR – Travel In Time
October 3, 2019Ah – the beautiful and historic bathhouses of Hot Springs, now a National Park Service managed area. It would be exactly 40 years ago that this area used to be my stomping grounds. As a 20 year old, I was stationed to Little Rock AFB back in 1978-1979 as my first duty station out of […]

Nashville & Memphis, TN – It’s All About The Music
September 26, 2019In retrospect, only spending a week each in Nashville and Memphis was probably short sighted as there is so much to see in these two great cities. Also, waiting until I visited both of them to write this blog was also probably a mistake as I’ve got tons of pictures and stories to share. So, […]

Charlestown, IN – Seeing Louisville
September 12, 2019Though I was technically staying in the small town of Charlestown, IN, I was a short distance north and just across the Ohio River away from Louisville, KY. It would be Louisville that was my ultimate tourist destination, but I did find some interesting things to see and do in the Charlestown and surrounding area […]

Elkhart, IN – RV Capital
September 8, 2019Welcome to the RV Capital of the World! Elkhart County, comprised predominantly by the towns of Elkhart, Goshen, and Middlebury, account for 80% of all RVs manufactured in North America. That is a staggering number of RVs produced in this rural and otherwise farming community. But, given my love of RVs and the RV lifestyle, […]

Muskegon, MI – Final Weeks
August 23, 2019What a summer it was – spending almost two months in Michigan. Though I had never been to this state before in my life, I have certainly quickly and fully fallen in love with it. The weather was magnificent, and the sites and adventures were plentiful – including the terrific lakefront bike trail pictured above. […]

Muskegon, MI – USCG Festival
August 9, 2019As I work my way down the west side of Michigan, I continue to find spectacular evidence of summertime paradise. Lake Michigan is magnificent, and is as vast and enjoyable as any coastal ocean beach. Above is a view of Grand Haven State Park, on the coast of Lake Michigan and which also includes beach […]
