Views From The Open Road - A Walk on the Beach




From the site: Views From The Open Road - A Walk on the Beach

After a couple of days of cooler than we like weather, we have enjoyed the warmer sunny weather Florida is famous for! Although Henderson Beach State Park is located directly on the beach, the campsites are not.  However, there is a well maintained boardwalk that leads to the beach. There are great sand dunes we must go around... ...before getting a first glimpse of that beautiful emerald water. Is there any wonder why this is called Florida's "emerald coast?" And this time of year there are more birds than humans on the beach.  Just the way we like it.  Yes, these past couple of days have been just perfect for walking on the beach. All good things must to an end, and tomorrow is our day to leave.  We will ...Read more...

From the site: The Roadrunner Chronicles - Roadrunner Camping in the Cold Weather

We are in very cold weather right now as are many of you.  Three nights ago the temperature got down to 14 degrees.  Right now in the early morning it is 23 degrees.  But the good news is that we are doing fine and are warm in the Roadrunner.We are currently at Cedars of Lebanon State Park not far from Murfreesboro, TN.  We will be here until Sunday morning and go to Maynardville, TN for Thanksgiving.But back to how we have handled the cold cold weather and some things we have done to get ready for it.  The issue is freezing weather.  We need to be prepared when it gets below 32 degrees.AttitudeFirst thing we did we face the fact we are not going to be in Florida during the winter and get used to it.  We a ...Read more...

OUR NEWELL ADVENTURE - RNO1 - Day 11 - Utah and Ground Hog Day




From the site: OUR NEWELL ADVENTURE - RNO1 - Day 11 - Utah and Ground Hog Day

It seems to me that in travels over the past almost 3 years that we have spent a lot of time in the great state of Utah, and barely scratched the surface......the same cannot be said for the 'Pick Mod' called Utah here at Fernley Amazon.  Out of the 11 nights/mornings I have spent stowing I believe I have spent 5, or 6 on either the first, or second floor stowing my brains out......stowing until last night it feels like I am using 'smoke and mirrors' to empty each cart.  There really is very little room left to put stuff, and yet I, and those other unfortunate souls who call themselves stowers find ourselves in this perpetual 'Ground Hog Day' scenario where we wake up every evening living the same day over and over again in the Ut ...Read more...

No Jason Voorhees here…just some beautiful mountains and crystal green shorelines  There must be a mysterious story behind this package.  I bet it fell out of a crashing plane and obviously never made it to its destination in Carson City coming all the way from WV, hmmmm… This is about the time we lost our trail back for about an hour.  We just watched the Steller’s Jay for clues (not really) ...Read more...

WatsonsWander - Exploring and working fulltime from our Airstream - Gulf State Park – Gulf Shores, AL




From the site: WatsonsWander - Exploring and working fulltime from our Airstream - Gulf State Park â€" Gulf Shores, AL

We’re really on the move these days. Last weekend we drove from Louisiana all the way across Mississippi and into Alabama. After spending the past year trolling around only four states, our fast pace this fall has left me feeling a bit rushed. It’s not that we’re a in hurry…but we are on a schedule. We have a planned meet up with family for Thanksgiving next week, another family gathering in Florida for Christmas, and then plans to be at my dad’s house in the Keys by New Year’s. All of this means that we need to stick to the plan and keep moving. No side trips or spontaneous detours. It also means that we skipped over Mississippi. Well, we didn’t actually skip over it, we just drove throu ...Read more...

Live Laugh RV - Angular Galveston, Texas




From the site: Live Laugh RV - Angular Galveston, Texas

As I was writing a  post in an attempt to get caught up with our travels, I’m distracted once again….. but in a good way by today’s Daily Post photo challenge.  The word ‘angular’ is perfect to share some of Galveston’s beautiful architecture. Since we arrived in Galveston, Texas 10 days ago, I’ve had the opportunity to walk around downtown Galveston a couple of times.  I’m in love with the beautifully restored Victorian homes.  Sure there are still signs here and there of a devastating hurricane that occurred in 2008 – hurricane Ike, but restorations are on going.In my short time in the area, I do believe I’ve fallen in love.  Gal ...Read more...

Well how we ended up here at the “World Famous Virginia City Outhouse Races” was not planned.  We simply got lucky to experience this epic event, as we didn’t make it on two of the flights going out of Reno this morning after enjoying the weekend in Tahoe.  We decided to rent another car for the day to explore Virginia City and made it just in time for the show followed by a tasty lunch at a nice little Tex Mex joint at the end of the main drag.  “World Famous” ...Read more...
