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
AN APOLOGY
Don't let her beauty fool you! When we lived in the Groveland Mansion in Roseville, Michigan. One of my neighbors whose back yard connected with ours had a giant Cottonwood Tree in his back yard. This tree was enormous! It would feel right at home among the Redwoods on the west coast. Every spring, because … Continue reading AN APOLOGY

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
A DOWNSIDE TO FULL TIME RV LIVING
I was 18 years old. Mom and Dad had gone to Florida to be with my mom’s parents. My sister was off in the Navy and I was home by myself. It was Christmas time. 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
CAMPING AT LAKE GUNTERSVILLE STATE PARK
In 1939 the Tennessee Valley Authority, TVA, dammed up the Tennessee River between Huntsville and Guntersville, Alabama creating a massive lake of 69,000 acres. It is the largest lake in Alabama. Lake Guntersville is cradled in a valley surrounded by mountains of the southern end of the Appalachians. As you descend the mountains from the … Continue reading CAMPING AT LAKE GUNTERSVILLE STATE PARK
THANKFUL
Lake Guntersville Here we sit in the Lake Guntersville State Park in north-east Alabama. It is November 27, 2019. We began our fulltime RV journey exactly one month ago today. When I look back on the last month, I am amazed at all that has taken place. We have spent at least one night in … Continue reading THANKFUL
