On the Road of Retirement - Okeechobee to Bonita Springs Florida…




From the site: On the Road of Retirement - Okeechobee to Bonita Springs Florida…

We enjoyed our two day stay at North lakes RV Resort but we certainly wouldn’t want to stay longer as there is little to do in this part of Florida unless you love to fish. If you are a fisherman then Lake Okeechobee is a fishing mecca. It is known for its large mouth bass but I was told by a resident that the crappie fishing was tremendous. I love to fish but don’t think that would be enough for me to stay very long here. We did go for a hike along the berm that surrounds Lake Okeechobee. This hike and bike trail is 110 miles and goes completely around the lake. Needless to say we didn’t do the whole trail… The next days drive on sleepy back roads over to Fort Meyers was an easy one. Then we caught the interstate ...Read more...

An Indian and a Gypsy - Large waves sound sleep




From the site: An Indian and a Gypsy - Large waves sound sleep

I always like to take a different route even when we stay in one place for a while.This was the case the other day when we went into town. We saw this sign along the way.So I pulled into the parking lot and in we went. This was the first time in the Wife Saver Restaurant there are several in the Augusta area. You order your food and pay for it then when it is ready they call your number you go and get it. Nancy ordered the four piece chicken strips with green beans, cole slaw and a drink for $9.48 I was going to order the same thing then noticed they had the specials. So I ordered a three piece chicken with fries and the included drink for $5.99 so Nancy paid $4.49 extra for one side item and the thing is when I got ...Read more...

From the site: WatsonsWander - Exploring and working fulltime from our Airstream - Heading East…

Wait…what? East??? Yes, we are still planning to go southwest for for the winter, but we had to make a quick detour first. Last week Tim’s boss asked if he could be in the office for an important meeting, and since we were only 5 hours from Charlotte — the closest we have been or will be for a long time — we decided why not (also, you gotta keep the boss happy). Along the way we stopped in Asheville for a few days. We had plans to come here last spring, but ended up spending an extra week at my mom’s house instead, so this seemed like a good opportunity to finally see the town that so many people rave about.

Oh, the Places They Go! - More Arches in the Alabama Hills




From the site: Oh, the Places They Go! - More Arches in the Alabama Hills

Lone Pine, CA The weather here in the Owens Valley of California has been windy and a bit cooler the last couple of days.  But today the sky was clear and the temperature was very comfortable so, despite a strong wind, we asked Dave and Sue to join us for another trip through the Alabama Hills looking for arches.  This is our second post on this topic so if you’re tired of looking at rocks and arches now would be a good time to click the “X” up on the right side of this tab in your browser. Our first stop was in the Tuttle Creek Road Area, south of Whitney Portal Road.

........Rolling in a RV - Wheelchair Traveling...... - Route 66-Tulsa




From the site: ........Rolling in a RV - Wheelchair Traveling...... - Route 66-Tulsa

   This is our first visit to Tulsa. We came with no expectations and were completely charmed by the city. Tulsa is considered the cultural and arts center of Oklahoma. It’s a relatively new city built on the discovery in 1905 of the large Glenn Pool oil field south of the city. By 1920 two thirds of the nations oil was produced in Tulsa. The newly wealthy citizens including J. Paul Getty, Harry Sinclair, William Skelly, and L.E. Phillips built lavish mansions and office buildings in the art deco style. Tulsa is no longer the oil capital of the world but the philanthropic efforts of some of the early oil men can still be seen in the beautiful museums and parks.   We spent four days in Tulsa which was really not enough ...Read more...

From the site: Wheeling It - Into The Grand Canyon Part III -> Everything Else

Pre-Post Note/ This has nothing at all to do w/ the Grand Canyon, but I know many of my blog followers are anxiously awaiting news on 2016 Pre-Medicare Health Insurance options. The ACA exchange is opening up shortly and I’ll be writing a dedicated blog post on this sometime next week (so hold on), but in meantime Kyle from rverinsurance has released his 2016 guide which I recommend everyone read. It should answer many of your questions. Click HERE. Selective PM lightCloudy eveningSo phew… now that my photography craziness post is done (who knew I had so much to write about it?)

Winds of Destiny - RVLife - Crack in the Wall Trail (SARA Park), 10/29/2015




From the site: Winds of Destiny - RVLife - Crack in the Wall Trail (SARA Park), 10/29/2015

Sara Park is a 1,100-acre, multi-purpose city park, located about 7 miles south of Campbell Cove RV Resort (where we are staying) in Lake Havasu City. The name of the park is an acronym for Special Activities and Recreation Area. In addition to hiking and biking trails, there is an off-leash dog park, rodeo and fairgrounds, BMX and motor cross raceway, roller hockey facility, baseball/softball fields, gun/archery ranges, and the Havasu 95 Speedway (stock car racing venue). We, of course, visited the park to do some hiking (dogs are permitted). Traveling southbound on Rte 95, turn right onto McCullough Boulevard South to reach the trailhead for the Crack in the Wall Trail. This is a popular and scenic trail that follows a wash to the sh ...Read more...
