Heading West on Wednesday
Monday, July 3, 2017 Having upgraded the truck and Airstream, there is one more piece to the puzzle. The Airstream now has awnings all around, which is great in controlling heat in the summer and being able to leave windows open while it’s raining. Auto Trim Design installed a backup camera on the truck and…

Loft Mountain Campground
May 30, 31, 2017 We spent two lovely days at Loft Mountain Campground in the Shenandoah National Park. The Appalachian Trail circles the campground along the edge of the mountain where the views are spectacular. On Tuesday we hiked to Doyles River Falls, which includes three beautiful falls. This is a popular trail, so it…

Hidden Valley
As usual, click on any picture to enlarge it. Hidden Valley is a very special place in the National Forest in beautiful Bath County, Virginia. Miles of trails to hike, trout fishing on the Jackson River and a very nice campground. There were beautiful wildflowers everywhere. It is just outside Warm Springs and 4 miles…

Solar Installation Naples, Florida
March 26, 2017 The whole reason for this great trip was to have state of the art solar installed on the Airstream. After many hours of research and considering doing it myself, I found the best man for the job was Lew Farber in Naples. Lew splits his time between Oregon and Naples. I am…

Robert is Here Fruit Stand
March 25, 2017 On our way out of the Everglades, we got to stop again at Robert’s Fruit Stand, 19200 SW 344th St, Homestead, FL 33034. We picked up a few more things, including a wonderful milkshake. They have so many kinds, it’s hard to choose. Waiting in line, I asked what looked like a…

Everglades National Park
March 25, 2017 The Everglades is a very special place, which shouldn’t surprise me as most national parks are wonderful, but I will go back with much greater appreciation and more time. We didn’t even touch 10,000 Island area, and we couldn’t get into Shark Valley as the parking lot was full. The end of…

Everglades, 9-Mile Lake
March 24, 2017 We rented a canoe to take the water trail through 9-Mile Lake. These canoes were big and heavy, making it difficult to maneuver in the tight mangroves There was a 20 mph wind, and I didn’t think this was a very good idea as we headed across the lake into the wind.…

Everglades National Park
March 23, 2017 It was only 36 miles to the next campground at the tip of Florida, Flamingo Campground, so we decided to go 12 miles back into town to get a few things. We hooked up and set out for Flamingo passing miles of dry prairie that looked like it should have lions, giraffes…

The Everglades
March 22, 23, 2017 Driving back up the Keys to Homestead, we stopped at Robert’s, a great fruit and vegetable place and were lucky enough to be waited on by Robert who told us about his brother and how they had a rift about the election, politics and marches on Washington. Now they don’t speak.…

Florida Keys
We stayed at the very nice Grassy Key RV Resort. The site was really tight, but this is a great place – like a club really, where people return for 2-5 months every year. Everyone was very nice, and the place is very clean. I’m not a pool lover, but this is a great one…
