Nice day – got to watch the sunset from the beach
While we have been enjoying our stay in Destin, the weather hadn’t been that great. But today was a nice one. They had the yellow flags out on the beach, whereas before there were either double red flags (entering the water is forbidden) or single red flags (entering the water is not recommended – “knee… Continue reading Nice day – got to watch the sunset from the beach
Wash and wax day
The campground we are at is a large one, and we have visited it before. There is a wash and wax business that can be seen almost daily operating in the campground. Given my recent health condition, and the need for me to be careful spraying water, we paid them to get the job done. … Continue reading Wash and wax day
Yikes – Bad weather
Today on January 9th, after a whole night of light sleep because of strong winds and driving winds throughout the night, we are awakened by an alert on our phones at 6:45, directing us to take shelter due to a tornado watch. Claudette pulled out her “go” backpack and we simply had to cross the… Continue reading Yikes – Bad weather
We have arrived at the beach in the Florida Panhandle
Our travel plans typically involve a 2 night stay in one place, so that we always have a free day where we do not have to travel. This segment was an exception as our trip to Florida involved 3 stops in 4 days, so two one-night stops. Thankfully, we are here for 12 days and… Continue reading We have arrived at the beach in the Florida Panhandle

Broken suspension… things could have been bad…
We are having dinner at BarkCamp State Park, Ohio, which we arrived at earlier today. Suddenly, i notice from the picnic table a problem with the RV suspension. The bolt that attaches the right side rear axle leaf spring to the frame bracket behind the axle is missing! So we are not moving until that… Continue reading Broken suspension… things could have been bad…
7 mile canoe ride
Wen are used to “lazy rivers” being concrete manmade structures. However, in our case, it was simply a natural river that had good flow. We were in Loudonville, OH, and our canoe trip was on the Mohican River. Quite frankly we had to do very little padding, and it was mostly a matter of just… Continue reading 7 mile canoe ride
Keystone Montana RV factory tour
Rather than write a lengthy longhand report, I decided to simply post a few bullet points about what I found most interesting: The tour started at 2PM, which is a time where there is no build activity underway. The factory workers are on an eight-hour shift from 04:30AM to 12:30PM. We were told that most… Continue reading Keystone Montana RV factory tour
