Our first year of RVing is over, so it’s time to take a look back at a few milestones for 2014. First, some events leading up to our life reboot: January: Ordered our Tiffin Allegro 36LA motorhome at the Tampa RV Super Show. February: Lots of work to prepare the house for sale, and lots...

We spent a wonderful two weeks in Tucson, AZ thawing from our last two cold stops. I can see why Tucson is a great snowbird location! While the mornings are a bit nippy, by early afternoon it’s warm enough for a t-shirt or light sweatshirt. Everytime I saw a facebook post on the weather back...

When we started our full-time RVing, I knew I wanted to keep a map of each year’s travels. I started by creating Google maps with our approximate route from campground to campground, but I soon ran into a limitation: Google now only allows up to ten destinations on a map. After trying many solutions, I...

above: Our very nice campsite at Davis Mountains State Park As I’m finally thawing out in the Arizona sun, my fingers have become nimble enough to write about our last 1.5 chilly weeks. After Lajitas, we headed to Fort Davis in the mountains to the north, at 5,000 ft elevation. We knew it would be...

After our stay at the eastern edge of Big Bend, we packed up and drove west through the park to an RV park in the “town” of Lajitas, TX. Lajitas was bought up entirely and developed into a resort, golf course, spa, and RV park, most of which were deserted while we were there. We...

Above: One of the amazing views from the Lost Mine Trail. We finally made it to Big Bend National Park! We’ve been looking forward to visiting for a while, but we knew it would be a challenge, both getting here and camping without electric hookups. The park itself is larger than the state of Rhode...

According to our grand plan, during the past three weeks we were supposed to be touring Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Things didn’t quite turn out that way… sometimes life gets in the way of plans, but we tend to just go with the flow! We were surprised to find that Thanksgiving week is a big...

Yay! We finally made it out of Florida. Florida’s gravitational pull ended up being even stronger than Virginia’s gravitational pull! We were so anxious to get out of there that we put two states between us and FL before we stopped moving. Ok, actually since we were driving on the coast, we passed in and...

After Tallahassee, our next planned destination along I-10 west was New Orleans. At around a 400 mile drive, it was a longer trip than we were willing to make in one day. About halfway between the two cities lies Pensacola, a reasonable place for an overnight stop. We had learned a few weeks earlier that...

Once the rest of our 6-month repairs were completed on Rover, we made our way to Carrabelle, FL. Our route west put Tallahassee as our next likely destination, but after some research we decided we’d prefer something a little quieter and away from big cities. Carrabelle is about 45 minutes south of Tallahasse, right on...
