PB Florida
























Tuesday we swung by Lighthouse Vet Clinic in Lehigh Acres after camping in the church lot.  We were able to get some Bravecto for the dogs without having to have the dogs get a checkup.  The roads were pretty tight and there was no way I was getting out of the parking lot if I got in.  I took the long way around and parked in a neighborhood while Katy and the kids stayed in the rig.  

We then headed east and started to listen to Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey for a second time.  We pulled into John Stretch park on the south side of Lake Okeechobee and used the dump station.  It was in great shape.  We then pulled around to the picnic side of the park where there are fresh water spigots and picnic shelters.  We had a nice lunch, filled up with fresh and walked the dogs.  With the heat and no direction, it was time to get to work on finding a spot.  The boondocking was/is pretty limited other than overnight, no unhooking spots.  

Katy found John Prince County Park and it was pretty darn reasonable and close to the beach.  We stopped at Bernars Farm Market on the way for some supplies.  We were supposed to stay there Wednesday.  We got to the campground and got set up pretty quickly.  It’s nice to have hookups with the heat.  

The past few days we’ve been exploring Palm Beach, Lake Worth and West Palm beach.  The ocean on this side is beautiful too with turquoise water near shore.  We’ve walked several beaches, been caught in a rain storm far from the truck and enjoyed our time on the Atlantic.  We also enjoyed a few Well drinks while a storm passed…until we saw the bill.  

Yesterday we were in West Palm Beach and drove past Mar A Lago.  As you head north from there, the houses are amazing.  I also thought I saw Vin Diesel driving a blue Ferrari, but it was probably a stunt double.  The area seems pretty spendy.

On a side note, our screen door also broke again.  This is the second time.  If we could do it over, we wouldn’t have these windows, screens or door on our rig.  I almost forgot to mention that we applied to two more jobs this week.  We interviewed for one of them.  It was in Austin TX and we found out they are looking for someone who can stay longer.   I guess we don’t need to work…

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...
