HHI














Yesterday we headed over to Hilton Head Island.  We made a quick detour at the Tuesday Farmers Market in the park.  We picked up some berries, pickles, bacon and a small cloth bag. It was a nice little market.  After that stop it was off to the Harbour Town Lighthouse.  

Little did we know it is in the Sea Pines area of the island which I guess is private.  It is $9/day cash for a parking pass and we were denied entry because of the kayaks on the roof.  We were told to go drop them off where we were staying and come back.  I explained our situation (an hour drive one way) and we were still asked to turn around.  We completed a circle and came back to ask if we could bike in.  That’s not allowed either.  We were told our only option would be to park and Uber in.  (I later looked at the rules and saw nothing about kayaks on vehicles in Sea Pines).  

We headed over to the beach which was really nice and hit the Tiki Hut for lunch.  The setting was great and I’m sure the sugary drinks were good...they looked good.  The service was sub-par and the food needs some work.  Maybe if a person was all buzzed up it would be better.  Back to the beach...  The water was warm and the area wasn’t really busy which was nice.  The sand is hard packed near the water and would’ve made for a good bike ride.  

We did a little more driving around and found $2.56 diesel so we filled up.  After getting back, we walked the kids some more and had our crock pot ribs.  They turned out great after putting them under the broiler.  There is a couple here from Oregon City who also have a new Lance so I chatted with them for a bit.  They have been on the road since Christmas and are headed back to Oregon in October.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
