ND – Jun 2022
June 21, 2022No deer were harmed in the making of this blog! Well, the truck was fixed ($7k later – fortunately mostly covered by insurance), and I’m back on the road. Sadly, I had to totally skip over Sioux Falls, SD, and proceed to Fargo, ND to get back on my preplanned schedule. I usually only drive […]

KS, NE – Jun 2022
June 2, 2022Well, as you can see from the dash cam images above, my day kinda got ruined. I feel bad for the deer, but it was its decision to engage in a game of chicken with me. Sadly, neither one of us came out of it well. More on that later. Otherwise, I had a wonderful […]

TX, OK – May 2022
May 12, 2022May 9th, 2022, marked my four year anniversary as a full-time travel and residing RVer. To say the time has passed quickly would be an understatement. The Covid pandemic has certainly put me behind my original travel schedule overall, and also accelerated my purchasing a Florida-based RV lot as a home base. Despite it all, […]

Lake Wales, FL – Jan 2022
January 30, 2022This picture pretty much represents the chilly weather us Floridians have experienced through much of the latter weeks of Jan. In fact, a once in a decade cold front is heading our way as I write this, with temps projected to dip to the upper 20’s on Sunday morning. Brrrrr! This is not what I […]

Lake Wales, FL – Dec 2021
December 29, 2021The hustle and bustle of Christmas 2021 is now behind us. Even though it was virtual, I had a wonderful time experiencing it with my daughters and grands.

Lake Wales, FL – Nov 2021
November 28, 2021November was a relatively busy month with a couple of holidays to celebrate, a visit to a local attraction, and of course, the never ending list of projects.
