We chose South Dakota as our place of residency for purely practical reasons. It is only a little over four hours away from our youngest daughter. So, if we need to take care of any business we can do so while visiting her family without a major trek. Secondly it is affordable, no income tax … Continue reading SOUTH DAKOTA

THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON
We scheduled a week-long stop in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on our journey from LA to South-west Minnesota. We were hoping to spend a little time in the Smokey Mountains National Park. It wasn’t to be. Not a single road into the park was open. Like so many other things the Covid-19 virus had caused a … Continue reading THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON

THE GULF COAST’S TREASURE
There is much to enjoy here on the north coast of the Gulf of Mexico. This is beautiful country. I had been to this area as a child and later as a teenager but was not attentive enough to realize just how stunning it is down here. This is farm country. This is often overlooked … Continue reading THE GULF COAST’S TREASURE
AN UNFORESEEN BENEFIT
We made the decision to become full-time RVers in late 2015. We knew a little about RVing, but just a little. We had camped for years in popup campers. We had rented a class C in the late 90’s for an eleven-day trip. And we had spent a number of vacations with my parents who … Continue reading AN UNFORESEEN BENEFIT

This tree was enormous! It would feel right at home among the Redwoods on the west coast. Every spring, because … Continue reading AN APOLOGY

QUARTER TWO BEGINS
Our first quarter of full time RVing lies behind us. It has passed quickly but as I think back on it, the first quarter seems quite full. I have already written about most of it so I’ll just mention some of it quickly and elaborate on a couple of things I have not yet mentioned … Continue reading QUARTER TWO BEGINS

Poet John Masefield wrote, “I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.” Along the north shore of the Gulf of Mexico you will find the Gulf Islands National Seashore. The Park begins just west of … Continue reading GULF ISLANDS NATIONAL SEASHORE

I was working at a hospital and was unable to get off work. So, I was about to spend Christmas … Continue reading A DOWNSIDE TO FULL TIME RV LIVING
