The Great “We-Beat-Covid” Roadtrip Days 5-24

Greetings, everyone! Didn't mean to leave you hanging after our last post back on Day 4 of our epic roadtrip. But once we made it to Mississippi and met up with family, there were more important things to spend time doing than blogging. On top of that, we had an absolutely terrible internet connection most …

On The Road Again, Day 6: N. Little Rock AR to Tupelo MS

We made it!! Our Thanksgiving Pilgrimage is complete! We left the Downtown Riverside RV Park in North Little Rock around 9:20 this morning, but not before I took a sunrise walk on the pedestrian bridge over the river. My goal was to locate a geocache that was hidden on the bridge, and I found it. …

Settled In For Awhile, Amazon Lockers, Holiday Plans

Wow, it's been ten days since I published an update to this blog. I kept thinking I would get around to it, but since things have been pretty laid-back lately, I didn't have anything of real interest to report. But this morning I got a phone call from my Mom, and she was worried because …

Move-In Day

The big day finally arrived! We moved out of our sticks-and-bricks home, and into our 24' Class C RV where we will live and travel full time. Of course, we aren't totally free of the house just yet. The sale does not close until Wednesday (three days away), but almost all of our worldly possessions …

Tombigbee Trip Report, Tire Pressure & More Decluttering

In my last post, we were preparing to head out on our first RV weekend of the year after a cold, wet winter. And we're so glad we took advantage of the temporary break in the weather because it's been messy and wet ever since we got back, at least on the weekends. We drove …

Let the 2018 RVing Season Begin!

So we have booked a reservation at Tombigbee State Park for the upcoming weekend, just about 18 minutes from our house, and we're going to spend some quality time with Lizzy! On my …

Tombigbee State Park – Timelapse on the Lake

I shot this footage three months ago on our first camping trip to Tombigbee State Park. It was my very first attempt at a timelapse with the GoPro Hero5 Black, and I was just winging it--had no idea what settings I should use. I wasn't going to publish it at all, but since I spent …

RV Trip #3 – Continuing to Learn

We just wrapped up our third outing since buying our RV, a 23' Class C Thor Chateau 23E. We returned to Tombigbee State Park for a quick, two-night getaway, only 15 minutes from our house. And like the two previous trips, we gained experience and made modifications that will help us be more comfortable and …

Lizzy Gets Her Mojo Back

If you remember from my last post, Lizzy was having some electrical issues with the 12-volt system. We did a lot of research and located the breaker that was tripping and reset it. We thought we had the problem solved. But when Andy went to check on her a day later, the breaker had tripped …
