While Snowbirding at MacDill AFB FamCamp this past winter, we were able to revisit a few places we love in the Tampa area. The TECO Manatee Viewing Center was a favorite place from our time workamping in Florida 2 years ago. We knew from past experience that first thing in the morning is the best…
There are all kinds of songs and sayings about time. If I could save time in a bottle. We had the time of our lives. So much to do, so little time. What we value most is what we spend most of our time doing and thinking about. Well, it’s about time…that we write this…
Our departure from Moonshine Creek was bittersweet. Several friends stopped by to wish us well and pray with us. Some even gave us parting gifts and remembrances. There are so many lovely people we will miss and we hope to see them again. We had hoped our first travel day would go smoothly but little…
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…
As we are saying good-bye to North Carolina soon, we have very mixed emotions. Moonshine Creek Campground has felt like home for quite a while but now our wandering hearts are feeling a tug north. So we will say “see ya later” to these NC mountains. Workamping will be put on hold so we can…
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…
Florida is a great place to be in the winter – not a hint of snow in the forecast and lots of fresh Vitamin C and natural Vitamin D almost every day. Yep, Florida is awesome in the winter and especially here at Avon Park AFR, in south central Florida where we are surrounded by…
We first pulled in to Moonshine Creek Campground in Western North Carolina in May of 2019. It was then we began our workamping careers. The past 5 months have been exciting, educational, fun, fulfilling and just the beginning of our new workamping lifestyle. The camping season at Moonshine Creek is quickly coming to an end…
Fall has been slowly making its appearance in the mountains of North Carolina. We promised a recap of our first workamping experience but we wanted to give a quick overview of what this season is like around here. So this blog post is all about fall in the mountains. The temperature has fluctuated anywhere from…
Mom Johnson flew in to Charlotte, NC to spend a week with us in September. While she was here we went to see the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte. The library is modeled after a dairy farm like the one where Billy was raised. It is full of the life stories of Billy Graham and…
The seasons are changing, Labor Day weekend has come and gone and schools are back in session. Moonshine Creek was a new adventure just 4 short months ago and now it feels like an old friend that will forever be part of our story. We’ve made a lot of great memories here. I know we…
We want to tell you about a few of our favorite things here in Western North Carolina. It just so happens that four of our favorites start with the letter “F.” First but not necessarily foremost, one of our favorite pastimes is fishing- not that I’ve (Andrea) done much of it. The quiet, peaceful, waiting…
