We decided to spend a day or two in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Mark had spent many a vacation there with his dad and brothers. After walking a trail in one part of the park, we decided to spend the night at the very popular Cades Cove campground. The next day turned outContinue reading “An Unforgettable Day”

Stranded In the Forest & the Interloper
It should come as no surprise that a couple days into our dispersed camping in Nantahala National Forest, the nighttime temperatures hovered in the teens. Once again the diesel heater came into use at night and in the morning. On our third morning, the diesel heater threw an error code indicating low voltage. We quicklyContinue reading “Stranded In the Forest & the Interloper”
Camping In Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests
When we realized we would have to return to Florida to install the new engine in about three weeks, we needed to find a place close enough to disperse camp. We decided to head up to the Chattahoochee National Forest in North Georgia. Wow, did we get lucky. There are several campgrounds where one canContinue reading “Camping In Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests”
Exploring the Ozarks
After leaving Joshua Tree National Park and staying at rest areas on the interstate, we were more than ready for some more camping. We headed to the Ozarks in Arkansas. Our only previous experience in Arkansas was staying in a rest area on the way to California. I was excited to see what Arkansas hadContinue reading “Exploring the Ozarks”
KOA Nostalgia
With visions of snow in our heads and cold in our bones, we were determined to drive the more southern route back to Ohio. Even if that meant driving through Oklahoma again with its lack of rest areas on I-40. Despite already blowing our budget on excessive travel in such a short period of timeContinue reading “KOA Nostalgia”
Joshua Tree National Park, a Missing Campground & a 4wd Adventure
We’ve always wanted to visit Joshua Tree National Park, and it’s crazy that in all of the years that I’ve visited Palm Springs, I hadn’t. Well, that all ended during this trip. Although Joshua Tree is only about an hour away from Palm Springs, we arrived at the dispersed campground outside of the park’s southernContinue reading “Joshua Tree National Park, a Missing Campground & a 4wd Adventure”
The Search For Butane & Other (Mis)Adventures
If you read my previous post about our off-road, 4wd, rock-crawling adventure, you may see that we are two people who live by the seat of our pants and don’t do too much research or planning before plunging into something. The following post expands on that theme and follows our usual modus operandi. It startsContinue reading “The Search For Butane & Other (Mis)Adventures”
Palm Springs, the Nude Bowl, & Endless Beauty
The ultimate destination of our first week of travel was to get to Palm Springs to visit my parents. I had originally hoped to visit for one of the following: Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, or New Year’s. We finally made it though. I have loved visiting my parents and more since they moved to PalmContinue reading “Palm Springs, the Nude Bowl, & Endless Beauty”
Blue Skies & Snow Storms
We ambitiously decided to make our first travel adventure a cross-country trip to visit my parents in Palm Springs, California. Starting out in Ohio during January meant that we were in a hurry to put distance between us and the cold quickly. Especially after the brutal cold that had come our way the week before.Continue reading “Blue Skies & Snow Storms”
One Step Closer To The Road
The suspension kit we ordered in July finally arrived at our mechanic in Kentucky. With a list of needed mechanical enhancements and parts we needed to bring, we headed down to Luna Fish Van Works on a beautiful Autumn Sunday. We are adding a 3″ lift kit. I’m short and getting in and out ofContinue reading “One Step Closer To The Road”
