Two dogs, two people, one RV. What could go wrong?
For those of you who are new to the site, after our trip last year we bought a “new-to-us” motor home in April, and spent the rest of the summer getting it road-worthy. This is the start of a two-month pilgrimage to the American Southwest. We pulled out August 24 under a milky sky. As... Continue Reading →
We've spent the past two days in Beckley West Virginia, camped out at the Tamarack exit. For those of you who don't know what that is, check my earlier post. Our destination was to be Savannah, but the real impetus for this trip was to drive a good distance, do some serious hills and as... Continue Reading →
We didn't intend to go very far this first day, and as you will later read that turned out to be a fortunate decision. We took the 77-south corridor through West Virginia, a route I've taken many times over the years on the way to the beautiful forests of West Virginia and other places. Each... Continue Reading →
The motorhome search is over! We're the proud owners of a new (to us) Tiffin motorhome. It's considerably larger than our former coach, with more slides, bells and whistles and switches. My 6'3 husband now has a comfortable feeling of headroom, and there are enough drawers for all our stuff. Think Motel 6 versus Embassy... Continue Reading →
I am married to a Street Rodder. Among many traits, he is a man who looks beyond the vehicle he owns to the next best thing. It's reasonable to expect that we wouldn't keep the motor home we currently own for long. It is winter, and for several reasons we are unable to travel to... Continue Reading →
We're tooling down the highway on the trek back to Ohio, in the slow lane. We prefer seondary roads so when we're on two-lane highways we pull over when we can to let others with busy-ness on their minds roar by. I used to hate the idea of following some big camper rigged with bicycles and towing... Continue Reading →
In Ohio, August is all about hot dusty days and unrelenting humidity. In Canada, this particular August has not displayed the kind of heat I am used to. The days have been sunny and clear, with a brisk wind that is a breath of autumn to come. We have been on Prince Edward Island (PEI)... Continue Reading →
When I met her I thought her to be much older, as her face is white and the rest of her fur is red and feathery, but she is four. Her white hair developed when she was two. At first it was thought that she might have a thyroid problem, but testing cleared her health.... Continue Reading →
We're off to our usual slow start. There's something about our departure process that impedes our ability to make a clean getaway. We had agreed that we'd get underway at 9 AM. First we had breakfast and a detour after that to Tim Horton's for Ben's ritual travel snack of coffee and Tim Bits, which... Continue Reading →
Between RV jaunts, I traveled to New Orleans (NOLA) for a national conference for sign language interpreters. You might think this would be a quiet event, but not so. I may tell you about that someday in another post. This is about transition and change. My first visit to NOLA was in 1995, also in... Continue Reading →
