We traveled north out of South Dakota into North Dakota. This would be our first visit to North Dakota. The first town we came to was Bowman. As we continued north out of Bowman our Tire Pressure Measurement System (TPMS) alarm went off. I am so glad we had purchased the TPMS. Because of it … Continue reading NORTH DAKOTA
SOUTH DAKOTA
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.

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
MEET TEXAS PETE
They say that you should buy your third RV first. The idea being that it takes about three tries to get what you really need in an RV. I never was very good at math. So, figuring out how to do the third thing first is a little confusing to me. When it comes to … Continue reading MEET TEXAS PETE
THE GREEN SPOT ON SITE 56
It's Organic! Erma Bombeck said “the grass is always greener over the septic tank.” It’s also greener under the holding tank. Under the Live Oaks in the sandy soil of South Alabama it is really hard to get the grass to grow. Here at the RV Park they are trying hard to grow the grass. … Continue reading THE GREEN SPOT ON SITE 56
