Tenth State














Yesterday we drove up to Georgia.  We woke to clouds and high humidity.  It wasn’t supposed to rain, but it sure looked like it.  I went out and loaded the kayaks and finished my new audiobook.  Jack Carr is the author and the title is The Devils Hand.  It is the 4th book in a series: Terminal List, True Believer, Savage Son and this one.  All of them are great reads, or listens.  

We got packed up pretty fast, the sun burned through and it was in the 80s in no time with near 80% humidity.  The dogs got a quick lap through the park and we put them in the truck. We pulled through the dump station and then hit the road.  

The drive was pretty easy.  Only a few turns and I-95 north for a few hours.  We stopped at Buc-ee’s in Daytona Beach and picked up lunch, a bit of breakfast for today, some snacks and diesel.  We love these places.  So much room for RV travelers and so much stuff in the stores.  The Brisket Sandwiches are great and the Cinnamon Pecans are 👌.  

We are staying at Cooked River State Park in Georgia.  We are right next to Kings Bay Navy Base with the Atlantic Trident Submarine Fleet.  I was able to tour one of these boats in the late 90’s.  Impressive.  

The park is beautiful.  So well kept and in the pines.  Way less humid than FL.  We walked the dogs a bit and enjoyed the park.  We did have to find the bug spray for the no see ums but it was a great night.  There was a nice sunset and I finally saw my first “live” Armadillo.  It was not impressed with Duncan and didn’t want to sit still for a photo.

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?

Image
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...
