The Roadrunner Chronicles - Woodrow Wilson Presidential Museum and Birthplace




From the site: The Roadrunner Chronicles - Woodrow Wilson Presidential Museum and Birthplace

Over the last many years when we lived in Fairfax, VA we passed the signs to the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace many times.Yesterday we drove about 45 miles from our KOA Campsite in Charlottesville to see it.We decided a few years ago that we wanted to see all the Presidential Museums and Libraries and birthplaces etc throughout the country.  It was well worth the trip.The site is small but it has a lot of interesting things about it.  The birthplace home is where you get your $12 tickets and see the 10 minute over view movie. We were a little disappointed the Presidential  Museum pass we bought at the Reagan Library last fall in California did not work here.  Different group or foundation or network or something.  Still ...Read more...

From the site: Living The Dream... - Thursday, June 12 to Tuesday, June 17, 2014 (Tamihi Creek Rec Site, Chilliwack, BC)

We're back "on-line"...however, it is going to be short lived, so I'd better get this update done! The areas that we are visiting so far don't have any cell or internet signals...not a great start to my plan of getting back to daily blogs!As I mentioned at the end of my last post, we spent a good portion of Thursday morning at Starbucks in Chilliwack so that I could hastily put together a blog post. Prior to getting to Starbucks, we stopped and fueled up with diesel, filled the gas containers and got propane. We were hoping to get back out to Tamihi Creek before it started to rain...but no such luck! We stepped out of Starbucks to a downpour...luckily it didn't last long, though.Once home, we had lunch and then decided to take the quads out ...Read more...

Our Traveling Tribe - Summer for us…




From the site: Our Traveling Tribe - Summer for us…

After we pulled out of Baxter Springs, Kansas, we drove through the lovely green of spring in the southeastern part of the state,  and drove northwest.We stopped up on the northern border of Kansas, and took a tour at Peterson Industries; they build Excel Fifth Wheels.  Their Wild Cargo toy hauler is the RV that we would like to get next! Then it was on through Nebraska.  We do not prefer to travel fast, and we were lamenting our quick trip back to Montana as we were driving past places that we would have liked to stop at tour.  Like The Nebraska Prairie Museum; that is so us!!!!  :/ We drove into and through Wyoming, past the Fort Cody tourist trap  ;) through beautiful valleys, and getting nearer and ne ...Read more...

ROAMING FREE 2010 - Olympic National Park–Hurricane Ridge




From the site: ROAMING FREE 2010 - Olympic National Parkâ€"Hurricane Ridge

                We had been waiting all week for a clear day to drive up to Hurricane Ridge to see the mountain peaks.  It seemed like no matter what the sky was like in Port Angeles – clear or cloudy – the peaks were always covered by clouds.  On Saturday, we finally gave up and decided to just make the drive up to the ridge and see what we could see. We drove through the entrance station (we remembered our National Parks pass today!!), and started up the mountain road.  At the first overlook, we stopped and looked back, and could barely see Port Angeles! As we continued up, the clouds got thicker and the visibility got lower!             ...Read more...

Gypsy Journal RV Travel Newspaper - It’s Like Radar




From the site: Gypsy Journal RV Travel Newspaper - It’s Like Radar

Do you know that radar that all mothers seem to have that alerts them when their kids are getting into mischief and need stopped? I’m pretty sure Greg White has it. Our Winnebago Ultimate Advantage has one fuel tank that can be filled from either side of the motorhome. At some point before we bought it, somebody changed the lock on one of the fuel doors which resulted in them having two different keys. And it always seemed like every time I pulled up to a fuel island I grabbed the wrong key. It wasn’t a huge issue, just one of those minor little irritants that make life frustrating. Most RV storage bay locks use one of maybe five or six different keys so it’s a pretty good bet that somebody parked near you at your favori ...Read more...

RV-ing in the Kram-a-lot-Inn - Wednesday, June 18 - Travel Day with More Shopping (Trapper Creek, AK)




From the site: RV-ing in the Kram-a-lot-Inn - Wednesday, June 18 - Travel Day with More Shopping (Trapper Creek, AK)

  It started raining last night and continued off and on all night and all day. We left about 9:20 this morning and thankfully it was not raining for the guys to break camp and get hooked up. It rained for most of our travel, but I was able to get a few scenic pictures. We traveled South about 131 miles on the George Parks Scenic Byway. We arrived at Trapper Creek Inn about 11:50 and got set-up. None of us had eaten lunch so Janet made cheese tortellini with sun dried tomato sauce, mixed vegetables and garlic bread for early dinner. Once we were all feeling satisfied we decided to take a ride to Talkteena which was about 28 miles away. It was a bunch of shops and eateries. Most shops had a moose in front made from ...Read more...

Running Away with Doug and Nancy - Quebec City (Day 2)




From the site: Running Away with Doug and Nancy - Quebec City (Day 2)

Well, they said it couldn't be done but "they" were wrong and we were on that 9:00 a.m. shuttle and on our way into downtown. We really, really like a park that has some kind of shuttle service. It costs $7 each, one way so it was a total of $28 for return back to the park. They have about 5 daily departures from the park and about 4 return times. I checked a few of the "close-by" parking situations and they seemed to run about $4 per hour so I consider the $28 money well spent.....Here are just a few extra pictures of the park.View off the nice deck from the café that is in the office building... ...office building. Now, off to Quebec City: Quebec City is one of the oldest European settlements in North America.

From the site: Our Awesome Travels - Enjoying some quiet time here in Buckhorn Ontario.

Where are we today ? Galvin Bay resort Buckhorn Ontario        Now we are settled in here for maybe a couple weeks, until the hitch itch grabs us and we need to wander on down the road again. Great nights sleep windows open, the tornadoes that passed thru the area missed us, just a bit of rain and wind no big deal here.       Walkabouts the resort here this morning showing again some of the nice carvings they have had done with trees that were removed.        Then into Buckhorn just to check out a few things. This is cottage country and such a nice area. Right on the Trent Severn Water system where people travel through lift locks and from lake to lake, (right from ...Read more...

  Welcome to the first in what will be a continuous, regular series of “The Light Life Blog must-haves!”  For your very own Light Life benefit, in this series we will focus on honest reviews of all the finds that are truly making our own family’s life on the road even more wonderful than it already is! So we’ve probably all heard the hype about the Oxygenics shower head for RVs. And to be honest, we waited a whole nine months to purchase one because it all sounded too good to be true! (plus a  few negative reviews we had been told.) But this past weekend my husband came out of a nearby camping store with one in hand, and I was only mildly amused. To be perfectly frank, I wasn’t hopefu ...Read more...
