Campground then travel day.








Yesterday we hung out at the campground all day.  Cleaned and defrosted the fridge/freezer.  The heat and humidity were wreaking havoc on it it.  We got the dogs out for a 3 miler and then put them in the AC.  Talked with my mom and sister for a bit.  We received a visit from an orange butterfly who decided to hang out with us for quite a while.  Not sure if it liked the tablecloth or us.  

We checked out the pool in the afternoon and hung out there for a few hours.  Even with a double application of sunscreen we may be considered medium or medium rare.  The water felt great as it was 92* in the shade with 80% humidity.   

Today we got up and got going pretty early.  It’s a 3.5 hour drive up to Nashville with no stops.  The ride was pretty good.  We ended up stopping for gas twice.  Once to get us to a cheaper station, 3.49 to 3.05 a gallon for the fill.  On the I40, we were in the right lane going 65/70 and were being passed by a truck/trailer in the left lane.  I saw a quick flash of light in the passenger side mirror and we were passed on the shoulder by a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse.  It had to be doing 90 plus and was super reckless going around the vehicles in front of us.  

About 20-30 miles further east, it was stopped with 4 police cruisers around it.  The doors and trunk were open and there was no driver present in the car.  Thank you officers and I hope the idiot enjoys or enjoyed their time with the police.  Maybe it’ll slow them down.  (Wishful Thinking). 

We got to Nashville and it was a little warm.  We did laundry for the first time in a week, unpacked our Amazon order and got all set up.  We decided to let the Santa Fe Steakhouse cook for us.  The 1/2 rack of ribs was really good.  4.5/5*.  Off to explore for the next 5 days.

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...
