We’ve spent another great summer in western North Carolina. We saw waterfalls, went on some good hikes, saw several fun amusements and camped at some beautiful places. We’ve been coming here to this area of NC for the last 3 years, and sadly, we still have not seen it all. There is so much toContinue reading “Getting Ready to Travel”

2 Days, Triple “Peaks”: Grandfather Mountain, The Blowing Rock, and Chimney Rock
Our first stop for the day was supposed to be Linville Falls, but rain and lots of fog deterred our hike. We will have to save that one for another day. We continued on our journey to Grandfather Mountain. We had made these plans ahead around work schedules, so we had to do what weContinue reading “2 Days, Triple “Peaks”: Grandfather Mountain, The Blowing Rock, and Chimney Rock”
Satellite and Cable TV Alternatives
This subject can be for house dwellers as well as full time RVers. These days, it seems like to get the specific few channels we want to watch, it requires getting a cable or satellite package that is expensive for one, and secondly has way more channels than we are interested in. There are someContinue reading “Satellite and Cable TV Alternatives”
Throwback Tuesday: The Crab Shack, Tybee Island
Most people use the term “summer vacation”, but for us, winter is ours. It’s not really a vacation per say, since some would think our lifestyle of full-time RV life is sort of a life-long one. That might be the case if we were retired, but we still are part of the wonderful working class,Continue reading “Throwback Tuesday: The Crab Shack, Tybee Island”
The St. Augustine Lighthouse (Remix)
We are proud to have St. Augustine, FL as our hometown. We are full-time travelers, so we are not always in our home state. We come back “home” in the winter on most occasions though. We are members of the Keepers of the Light for the St. Augustine Lighthouse. We could go climb the 219Continue reading “The St. Augustine Lighthouse (Remix)”
Fort Caroline
Fort Caroline is (was) a French Fort established in 1564 for the Hugenots. It’s on the beautiful St. Johns River, near Jacksonville. The current fort is not the exact location of the original, but walking around it, you won’t be able to tell. The National Park Service has done a wonderful job. When the originalContinue reading “Fort Caroline”
2019 Lunar Eclipse
We were fortunate to be in St. Augustine Beach for the lunar eclipse. We started the evening with some friends who were visiting from Louisiana. We were at an awesome restaurant called Cantina Louie’s. I snapped this shot of the moon when it was first getting dark. After dinner, we went to the beach toContinue reading “2019 Lunar Eclipse”
A True ESA
There’s a lot of controversy these days about ESAs (emotional support animals). A lot of pet owners can order stuff online to label their pet as an ESA without them being certified. The people who have service animals have been upset over this because these animals that have labels without certification are not trained. IContinue reading “A True ESA”
Turtles, turtles, turtles
Behind the St. Augustine Amphetheatre, there is a dirt road that dead ends next to a small pond. There are walking trails back there as well. If you wander around on the trails, it takes maybe about half and hour or so. You will see fountains along the trail that no longer work, and otherContinue reading “Turtles, turtles, turtles”
Updates on Our Journey, Hammock Park, and Spanish Chimneys
We are so lucky to be in such an awesome location this winter. Not just in Florida, where we can avoid snow and freezing temps, but on an island, and within biking or walking distance to the beaches. Just the other day I thought, “I always wanted to be an island girl, and now IContinue reading “Updates on Our Journey, Hammock Park, and Spanish Chimneys”
