Our time at MacDill FamCamp was coming to a close. We were able to accomplish a few important tasks while enjoying our escape from winter. Our 2022 Homestead garden got a head-start. Tomato, pepper and sugar snaps are just some of the seedlings that germinated then travelled from Florida back to North Carolina with us.…
2022 started with a push to get Old Glory (O.G.) ready for a Road Trip to warmer weather! The bike rack was re-installed and propane tanks were filled. After multiple trips between the Homestead and the storage lot with supplies, beach gear, and tools, we felt ready to head south for a lengthy stay in…
After leaving Syracuse we hooked up Old Glory and headed toward Bethany Beach, Delaware. Canada will not be opening their border in time for us to visit PEI this year so we decided to try to visit some new states. There is a FamCamp in Delaware that we wanted to visit and they were able…
After spending 2 nights at Ramblin’ Pines Campground in Maryland, we packed up and continued our trek north. Just 130 miles up the road, we stopped over at Cabelas in Hamburg, PA. We had stayed at this Cabelas a couple of times in the past and its location makes it a perfect stop-over on our…
On our way north, we spent 2 nights in Woodbine, Maryland at a beautiful campground not far from our oldest son and his family. Ramblin’ Pines Campground had some great reviews on line and it is only 30 minutes from our son and daughter-in-love. We wanted to check it out as it would be a…
This month, July 2020, we began year #3 of our full-time RV life. Although we foresaw some potential dangers of living in such a small space and working so closely together, we are still alive, still married and we don’t plan to stop exploring anytime soon. A lot has stayed the same and a lot…
We will always return to the mountains of Western North Carolina as one of our favorite places. In these mountains we feel God’s peace and presence. We witness His artistry in every new season and are drawn back again and again. If these mountains could talk, I feel like they would tell stories of love…
Covid-19 has put a stop to a lot of people’s plans. The past few weeks there were very few campers and a lot of cancelled reservations here at Moonshine Creek Campground, however, there ARE some things that even the Coronavirus can’t stop: things like strutting turkeys, wiggly tadpoles…and the Coronavirus could NOT keep us from celebrating Cinco de Mayo on Taco Tuesday!
Since leaving Florida and arriving in North Carolina, we’ve been thinking a lot about time. In North Carolina at Moonshine Creek, this should be a busy time and the campground should be full. But, like so many businesses and people we are in a “Time-Out.” Time-Outs can serve many purposes: training and discipline for children…
2,700 2nd graders from Lakeland, Florida got to learn a little bit about WILD things…In January Mark and I accompanied Melissa, a ranger from Avon Park, to an event called “Water, Wings and Wild Things” in Lakeland, Florida. You can read about that experience here…
Since arriving in Florida in November Mark has been checking off some maintenance projects on Old Glory. At the top of the list was to get our furnace going. After troubleshooting, seeking advice, replacing the motherboard then replacing the sail switch, it is working now! We gave it a good test in January when the…
We are enjoying our Summer in the mountains. Here at Moonshine Creek there is a lot to see and do in the area. Among other “perks,” being located 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and all that it has to offer ranks number 1. We have seen some great views, hiked to some beautiful…
Do you remember Robin Williams’ Genie in Aladdin? When he described life in the Genie’s lamp: “Phenomenal Cosmic Power… itty-bitty living space!” I can relate in some ways – not to the “cosmic power” but the “itty-bitty living space” is certainly us. We live in a Grand Design 337RLS Fifth Wheel. It is 35.5 feet…
New Year/New Us! We have made a lot of new additions to our rig and we are getting some new eyeglasses and some new dental work done while we are still in Tucson. AND- we are gearing up for a new trip – to ALASKA! So we are planning, dreaming and watching lots of YouTube videos…
