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
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

SAVANNAH
Savannah, Georgia is one of those cities that you could return to over and over again and discover new things every time. We arrived in Savannah on a Wednesday and departed the following Monday. While visiting Savannah we stayed at the Fort McAllister State Historic Park. This park is located outside of Richmond Hill, Georgia. … Continue reading SAVANNAH
THINGS GO WRONG
Things do go wrong. Sometimes seemingly all at once. We had stopped for gas about fifteen minutes after we pulled out for the day. We had done the walk around before leaving but missed this one thing. Doing another check at the gas station my wife discovered extreme wear on one of the rear tires. … Continue reading THINGS GO WRONG

The park has a day use area, the … Continue reading BIG SIOUX STATE RECREATION AREA
DOMICILE OR RESIDENCY
It happened twice today. The neighbor to our rear was sitting outside her travel trailer smoking and informed me I was a long way from home. Then this afternoon a young construction worker who is parked beside us was out winterizing his water hose and he too commented about our being from South Dakota. Neither … Continue reading DOMICILE OR RESIDENCY
