CR8ING THE LIFE - My Husband Knows Everything




From the site: CR8ING THE LIFE - My Husband Knows Everything

I saw the strangest sight Monday evening. Jerry was posing for a Chinese family photograph that was being taken outside the campground office. He was in the middle, between the mother and father, who were no taller than 4 feet something, while the daughter snapped the photos. After a couple additional minutes of conversation with the family, Jerry then comes inside the office and says to me, “You should listen to them. They said they wanted my photo because I know everything!”After I finished rolling my eyes, I replied, “Everything? What kind of everything?”Turns out, the Mom and Dad had never seen a RV before! Jerry gave them the short version to our full-timing life, selling our home and belongings, buying a fifth- ...Read more...

From the site: RV-Dreams Journal - Just Hangin' At Mountaindale - (Colorado Springs, CO)

We came to Mountaindale Cabins & RV Resort after the RVSEF Conference to visit with our friends Jesse & Ginger, unwind a little, get some work done, and get our Jeep serviced and inspected. Sunday Today we concentrated on getting some emails returned and solidifying future rally plans.  I was hoping to get registration opened for our Spring 2014 Rally in Tennessee, but we're still finalizing some negotiations and I'm waiting for confirmation of terms. In the afternoon, Ginger & Jesse came by and then took us to the office to introduce us to the owner of Mountaindale, David, who is continually updating the facilities.  We're discussing a little business arrangement to provide discounts to our readers.&nbs ...Read more...

Getting into the weapon garden was pretty easy. We parked on the outside, got our pass, and walked in.Reception is still lousy.Staring right down the Poconos of a jet thing.I guess drinking water is important.NOW we're talking!L to R: Cheryl, yuccaThe actual white sands are 30 miles up US 70. How much further to the ocean, Mom?These lumps look like cyanobacteria to me.Nailed it.Under the boardwalk - out of the sun - under the boardwalk - you'll be toasting your bun - under the boardwalk - people walking above - under the boardwalk - you'll ...

The Lundy 5 - Family on the river




From the site: The Lundy 5 - Family on the river

We took our first family trip on the Yough together, Lizzy & I shredding while the boys all kayaked. It was so fun, even though Lizzy and I have not mastered the shredder. We didn't flip, or fall out, but it wasn't pretty. We didn't hit our lines and kept getting stuck, but hey, a day not IN the river is a success! I used up the rest of the waterproof camera pics (from the manatees in Dec!) so the pics stink, but at least they prove we were on the river. :)  Allen and Matt both had a little swim on Cucumber (Mattcumber), mainly because of the frigid water!  ...Read more...

The Next Chapter" Rated RV-13 - May 19, 2013 – “Vicksburg, MS to Nashville, TN




From the site: "The Next Chapter" Rated RV-13 - May 19, 2013 – “Vicksburg, MS to Nashville, TN”

Before we left Vicksburg, we made a quick stop at the Vicksburg Battlefield and Museum. Lucky for us, as this was the last free day to see this National Park and coincided with the last day our NP pass was valid as we purchased it last April. At $80, we have gotten our money’s worth out of it. We decided to purchase the audio CD that explains the stops along the roadway. As we toured the battlefield via automobile, it became apparent to me just how close the Union line was from the Confederate line; only 50 to 100 yards apart for almost 6 miles around the eastern side of Vicksburg.

RV Boondocking News - Need more water in your RV? Think horse tank!




From the site: RV Boondocking News - Need more water in your RV? Think horse tank!

Next to sufficient electricity, for a boondocker perhaps the second-most precious commodity is water. Cool, clear, water. For some, there's never enough. Perhaps they haven't been able to make the jump to "Navy showers," and insist on those long, drawn out times in the tub. How can you get enough water on your excursion if your fresh water tank is too small? Think about horsing around. Half-moon lay down tankNah, we're not suggesting skinny dipping in the nearby creek. But horse loving folks who travel with their four-legged pals know that sometimes there's not enough water in their horse trailer for themselves and their equine friends. Enter auxiliary water tanks for horse folks. These tanks are designed for the horse crowd: Some "double" ...Read more...

The Rocky Point campground at Eagle Lake in California, might be one of the most beautiful boondocking spots we’ve stayed at.
