Mexican – Door – Box Desk – Musings in a new house 4months after the end of our trip
/in Dad, General blather, nostalgia /by Joel{4 months after fulltime rving} My wife doesn’t like my box desk. To be fair it isn’t just a box desk, it is a box/door desk. Old boxes support the door top work area. The doors were taken from the little wet bar area off the dining room. They were about as necessary to conceal […]
Accomplish a lot….
/in Dad, General blather /by JoelMy father always said, “you’d be surprised how much you can accomplish when you are supposed to be doing something else.” ~ Big Jim I am living proof of that. I have a subconscious that covertly aids the procrastinator in me. I have been meaning to get started writing for sometime. I can list any […]
San Diego- Month 6… er somethin- Now heading home for a visit/in California, Maryland, RV life /by Joel
To say I am overwhelmed might be an overstatement, but probably not. We’ve been on this trip for 6 months. Just the 6 of us. 4 humans, 2 dogs. It has been awesome, see Facebook posts (they must be having the time of their lives our friends say!). And it has been tough, (in a […]

Mile 8937: Get it in gear!
/in General blather, RV life, State Parks /by JoelWell, we’ve been trying to Find Fun… right? Whatever that means. So writing hasn’t been tops on our list. We’ve been keeping notes about our adventures, but the goal after the work is done for the day is NOT to sit back down in front of the computer screen to hone our blogging skills. So we […]
Mile 1566: Lake Powhatan Camping, near Asheville, North Carolina
/in north carolina /by LizzyWhile a little out of the way, we had to make a stop near Asheville for the 4th of July. Joel was quite excited when his mountain biking app lit up with trails around the campground. I managed to get a trail run in with my running buddy. It always puts a smile on my face […]
Mile 1167: Chantilly Farms in Floyd, Virginia
/in virginia /by LizzyOur first stop heading south from Mom’s driveway, was at Grilled Cheese Mania in Harrisonburg, VA. It was good, but not sure if it was worth all the hype. Regardless, we snarfed our gourmet grilled cheese or mac n’ cheese down and continued to Floyd, VA. Before heading to the RV park, we opted for […]
