Our first trip with Chance II was a three-night, four-day, 1,777-mile drive from Harlingen, Texas to Warren, Michigan. The first two days were a little too ambitious. We averaged over five-hundred miles each of those days. On day one we drove to Lake Charles, Louisiana, and stayed overnight at a Walmart. The second day we … Continue reading THE MAIDEN VOYAGE
Taking the Plunge Again
Chance II While we believe that we need to continue to return here to Sunshine RV Resort, we are not thinking of being here in south Texas full-time. So, we needed to plan where to live once we leave here. Once again, we concluded that an RV was the answer. We enjoy full-time RV living. … Continue reading Taking the Plunge Again
HOMELESS!
Our Temporary Home Our motorhome, Chance, was dead and left behind in New Hampshire. We were homeless. Our daughter and son-in-law agreed that we could stay with them while we figured out what was next. They cleared out a space in their finished basement, and we set up our beds which we had used in … Continue reading HOMELESS!
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN…
Rest in Peace We were in Bar Harbor, Maine. We had just finished a tour on a lobster boat. I just learned that Chance, our motorhome that we left in Littleton, New Hampshire, has a blown engine. We cannot afford to put the amount of money required into our 1999 motorhome. So what are we … Continue reading WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN…
CATCHING UP
My apologies for such a long absence. There’s been a lot going on, and I’ve been somewhat distracted, but I’m going to try and catch you up with this post. I’ll try and keep it brief. We spent the summer preaching at a little church in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Iron Mountain is in the far … Continue reading CATCHING UP
Connectivity
Staying connected while on the road is essential to me and most others. When we had a home, it was simple. We had blazing fast internet through a local cable company. We could also get our TV channels through them if we preferred. But what do you do when you live in a motor home … Continue reading Connectivity

Florence, Wisconsin
During May, we spent three weeks in Florence, Wisconsin. Traveling along U.S. Highway 2 in Michigan’s Western Upper Peninsula, you enter Wisconsin when you cross the Menomonee River. U.S. 2 continues to run parallel to the river until it eventually crosses the river again back into Michigan. Along the way, you pass through Florence. For … Continue reading Florence, Wisconsin
Northern Kentucky
In the last week of April 2022, we spent five nights at General Butler State Park near Carrollton, Kentucky. We had driven by dozens of times along I-71 between Cincinnati and Louisville and wondered many times about the park but never stopped. This time we stopped and stayed a while. General Butler State Park Is … Continue reading Northern Kentucky
RVING WITH FRIENDS

Just recently we met friends in Northern Kentucky and spent a few days together in General Butler State Park. We have met up … Continue reading RVING WITH FRIENDS
