Dear RV Industry, Where do I begin....since purchasing a brand new Keystone Alpine three months ago I have learned so much about your industry that has truly saddened me. I'm sad for the families who have had vacations ruined by lack of quality control. I'm sad for the hard-workin' men and women who spend anywhere … Continue reading Dear RV Industry…..

UNC, Williamsburg, Jamestown and Our New Camper
So we bought a new camper, a Keystone Alpine 3901RE toyhauler. We weren't looking to purchase a new one, but one of our favorite past times is walking through RV dealerships just to window shop.

After hosting at Curry Hammock State Park, we were going to head about 30 miles west to Bahia Honda State Park to volunteer there for three months. Unfortunately, work commitments had us rethinking our ability to put in the volunteer hours … Continue reading Slight Change of Plans
Top 5 Things to consider before accepting a camp host position
This is going to be a mini-quickie post. I'm typing and preparing the whole thing on my phone (a first for me), so please excuse any typos. Each park, whether it's privately ran, state or national park have different ways they utilize host/volunteers.

Making and Saving Money While Full-Time RVing and Traveling
Sorry for the delay....we've been working extra hard around the campground because all the hosts that were suppose to show up April 1st, just didn't (insert side eye) so we've been pulling double time, plus this also happens to be one of the 40 hour work weeks I mention below. If you are interested in … Continue reading Making and Saving Money While Full-Time RVing and Traveling
Playing Catch-Up & What We’ve Been Up To
I sincerely apologize for our very long blog hiatus, but when planning to leave friends and family for the extended foreseeable future, one must spend as many waking hours with said family and friends, and that’s exactly what we did. Here's what we've been up to. Multiple farewell gatherings, many of which we completely forgot … Continue reading Playing Catch-Up & What We’ve Been Up To

Charleston…Food, Facts and Fun!
After leaving Indian Springs, we relaxed for about three days and then headed out to Charleston, SC, pups and RV in tow. It was nice to finally use the camper for pleasure and take a vacation. No toilets to clean, no late night taps on the door. When deciding where to go, we debated between … Continue reading Charleston…Food, Facts and Fun!

Like Grandmother Like Granddaughter
While my Mom and Sister were packing and looking through some of my Grandpa's things (long story there, he's been suffering through some rough times, potential dementia, a fall resulting in hip surgery) they came across multiple copies of my Grandmother's journal detailing their Route 66 road trip out west. My Grandmother (maternal) Carol and … Continue reading Like Grandmother Like Granddaughter
