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...

After our repair stop-over at our RV dealer in Tampa, Lazydays, we had to make a couple of changes to our original plan. Originally after Lazydays, we planned to head to Carrabelle FL (near Tallahassee). Unfortunately they needed to order a few more parts to fix our side-view camera. That meant we had to stay relatively close...

Our next stop on our return trip south was Savannah Georgia. We stayed at a beautiful campsite in Skidaway Island State Park, with huge sites, towering trees draped with spanish moss, and plenty of hiking trails to walk with the dogs. The only downside to the campground was the large number of mosquitos—even with our...

From Wytheville, VA we made our way to Sylva, NC as we moved inexorably back down south towards Atlanta. Sylva, NC would be our last stop where the weather would be perfect. We stayed at a great little campground called Moonshine Creek right in the mountains. We had a pretty awesome site where the...

We were unable to leave Virginia’s gravitational pull this time although we got pretty close. Surprisingly Virginia is a pretty large state to drive through (north to south) when in an RV. We made it to Wytheville VA, just a hair away from the North Carolina border. We left behind the hustle and bustle of...

Lancaster County PA, where the cows and chickens truly are free-range, almost everyone has livestock and a garden (with corn) in their yard, and horse poop is a common sight on the road. We made it to Amish Country in PA and stayed in a little town called Intercourse (on the way there, we passed...

We just spent a week in Red Hook New York and had our first opportunity to break out our bicycles (newly retrieved from storage while passing through Maryland) and go for a ride. Not too far from Red Hook is the Walkway Over The Hudson, a 212-foot high railroad bridge built in 1888 and converted to...

Our drive from College Park MD to Philly turned out slightly more stressful than anticipated. We wanted to avoid 95 (and its tolls) so we took US 1 north. Unfortunately the first half of the drive on US 1 is through cities and towns. While it is a two lane road, the lanes are tight,...

Charleston turned out to be a fun place to visit, full of history and culture. One of the first things we did was take a ferry to Fort Sumter on a tiny island in the Charleston harbor. The fort was built to protect the U.S. coast from european invasion, and was manned by U.S. soldiers. It...
