Lake Wales, FL – Nov 2024
November 27, 2024Life is grand here at the FL Home Base. The weather has been fantastic, and the snowbirds are returning making the community bustling again. I’ve resumed my Audio/Video tech duties, in addition to working on phase two enhancements to the community website. It truly is wonderful to slow down, relax, and enjoy the company of […]

FL – Oct 2024
October 31, 2024Oh Florida how I’ve missed you – hurricanes not withstanding. I’ve missed the great weather, the camaraderie of the community, and of course the Publix BoGo’s. As I made my way back to the home base, I traveled through the panhandle of Florida, stopping to see friends along the way. It was mostly a mad […]

AZ, NM, TX, LA – Oct 2024
October 10, 2024Well, 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, 2024Nothing 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 […]

August 18, 2024What 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 […]

MT – Aug 2024
August 7, 2024A 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, 2024Well, 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 […]

WY – Jul 2024
July 6, 2024Wyoming 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 […]

KS, CO – Jun 2024
June 24, 2024What 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 […]

AR, MO – Jun 2024
June 13, 2024This 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 […]
