Helloooo Oklahoma! We made our 900 mile journey to see Mom Johnson and other Oklahoma relatives and friends the first part of October. Old Glory was stored at Buck Creek Campground in Marion, North Carolina, to save a little bit on gas. We also didn’t want to risk another break down considering the way our…
Ramblin’ Pines Campground in Woodbine, Maryland, has become one of our favorite places to camp. It is located close to our son and his family and we used to live in Maryland for 15 years while Mark was in the Air Force stationed at Andrews Air Force Base. We decided to return to Ramblin’ Pines…
We make plans and I find comfort in having a “plan.” I have a calendar and I make reservations and I like to know where we are going, how long we will be there and how much it will cost. Plans can be good but we have been learning that plans should be held loosely.…
After enjoying several good beach days and surviving 1 tropical storm in Bethany Beach, Delaware, we headed out to the Lewes Ferry Terminal to cross over into New Jersey. For $87 we booked passage on the ferry from Lewes, Delaware, to Cape May, New Jersey, for ourselves, Babe (the Ford F-350) and Old Glory. On…
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…
Our time in Syracuse was sweet. Even though Old Glory was in Doody Brothers Garage for the majority of our stay, we were able to spend a lot of time with family. Both of our sons visited for a weekend. Grandma Ballard had a birthday and we got to celebrate with her. It was great…
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…
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…
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…
Ahhh Key West…for quite a while we have anticipated traveling to this destination. The Southernmost point in the USA, it is closer to Cuba than to its nearest Walmart. This land of sunshine, key lime pie and chickens was on our bucket list. So, after we finished up our workamping commitment at Avon Park AFR,…
We decided to revisit Disney Springs when we had more time to explore.
We started toward Orlando early one morning hoping to avoid the unavoidable…Florida traffic.
We had plenty of time to look at the Mickey Mouse Power Lines going into Orlando as we were waiting.
