What a way to spend Mother's Day - calls from both my boys to wish me a great day and a drive that took me through some of the most beautiful, desolate, mind-blowingly beautiful, rugged, magnificent country I have ever seen. I can't begin to describe in words what I experienced - a feeling of …
Winnie Had a Baby!
Meet Little Willie, so named by previous owner's Eric & Eileen of St. Paul, MN. This wonderful young couple are the long-time, best friends of my youngest son, and Eric is the best car mechanic ever! So when they asked if I would please stop by on my way West, it was so very easy …
Back on the road….
....but it was terribly stressful just getting here. I took Winnie to get her North Carolina 'omissions inspection' on Tuesday, a requirement of all NC vehicles to be registered and plated. It was the first time I had started the engine and drove her since parking on the beach a whole month before. My good …
Westward Ho!
Just 2 more days left here on Carolina Beach before I bring in the slides, unhook the water and sewer hoses, unplug the electric and 'wheels-up.' It's been a great month - especially spending quality time with some great friends. And let me say right here and now a great, big THANK YOU to Laura, …

What Sun?!!!
I woke up this morning to rain, clouds and wind. It was time to head out and all I wanted to do was to crawl back under the covers and go back to sleep. Carrie and Don wandered over to say good-bye and Don repaired my broken door handle and made sure I had assembled …
Basking in the Florida Sun!
For the past 5 days I have enjoyed the bright, warm sunshine of Central Florida - Ft. Myers to be exact. Because of the weather delay in Texas, my trip to The Keys was canceled and I drove to Ft. Myers to spend a wonderful time with my good friends Carrie & Don. They have …
You’ve heard that song….
"I've been everywhere" - well, that's what I feel like after 3 days on the road. I've been to AZ, TX, LA, MS, AL and now FL. Weird to drive through 3 states in one day, but that's what I did today.But I will back up. Finally got out of Kerrivlle, TX on Sunday morning. …
Good Saturday Morning – from TX!
Yes, still in Kerrville, TX where the weather has been just awful. Now that's coming from someone who would really like to be on-the-road heading East. The locals are so happy for the rain (over 5" since I arrived) that they can hardly stand it. This part of Texas has been hard hit by drought …
Summer in Yelllowstone!
I applied for a work/camp job online this morning and got a call and hired this afternoon! As of May 10th, I will be manning the front desk at the Yellowstone Valley Inn and RV Resort just outside Cody, WY. You can check it out at http://www.yellowstonevalleyinn.com/Teddy Roosevelt said that this hidden valley, located just …
