    First Time Camping In The Trailer Without Full Hookups

    In July I spent a couple of weekends at the Mississippi Palisades State Park in Savanna, Illinois. The only amenity at my campsite was electricity. This was my first time camping in the trailer without full hookups. I know the in’s and out’s of not having full hookups when it…

  • My New Cozy Little Home On Wheels

    My New Cozy Little Home On Wheels

    These past several weeks I’ve been camping where my cell signal was weak and I couldn’t do much online. I use my phone as a hotspot (to get internet to my laptop) and there wasn’t enough internet juice to log in to my blog and publish a post. A Lot…

    Covid Vaccine and Other Necessities

    This past month and a half or so I’ve been hanging around The Homeland area taking care of appointments and getting other necessary things done while I’m here. Avoiding The Spring Spraying One thing about being here in the spring is having to avoid farm fields being sprayed as farmer’s…

    Come along for the ride as I travel the Tennessee backroads, capturing picturesque views. I also camp in the Chattanooga area before heading to Edgar Evins State Park in Silver Point TN – where the camping is both creepy and captivating.

    Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park in Jacksonville FL

    Getting a last minute campsite is tricky these days but I managed to book a spot for 2 nights beneath the Spanish Moss in the coastal jungles of Jacksonville FL. Ok, it may not have been as far out in the wilderness as it sounds but it sure felt like…

    Leaving Homestead Florida – February 2021

    In early February, when I checked the weather forecast, it looked like good weather was expected through my February 14 departure date. In short, it was supposed to be not too hot and not too cold with tolerable humidity levels. To Sombrero Beach for Nikki’s Birthday My little girl turned…
