E – Last stop on a most memorable trip
Our last stop was in St. John’s and we stayed at a city-run urban campground called Pippy Park. It was literally 10 minutes from downtown and a great park. We were there for 4 nights after a relatively easy drive from Terra Nova. After we arrived and got connected we went into town and did…

E – Change of look in Terra Nova
After Twillingate it was on to the National Park in Terra Nova. We had a decent site in what is a very large park. We took on a couple of hikes here. There was a significant change in both topography and vegetation. The terrain was much less dramatic and actually was very Algonquin/Ontario like. One…

E – Twillingate – Unique Challenges and More Awesomeness
After a spectacular time in Gros Morne it was on to Twillingate and we were wondering how could it get any better. It was about a 5 hour drive and our two night stay in Twillingate was at a provincial park with only 55 sites and the…uhhhh…unique name Dildo Run. We got to our site…a…

E – Spectacular Gros Morne
Our second full day in Gros Morne was centered around a boat tour in a fresh water fjord, Western Brook Pond. It was a 3km hike into the boat which was flat and with nothing really to see but once you got there…..It used to be a real fjord(salt water) but that was few years…

Great start to summer 2024…
Our last stop on this trip was Cape Hatteras off the North Carolina shore. We stayed at the State park on a site with no hook ups so we were off grid relying on solar for electric needs and had stopped to fill the fresh water tank on the way in. It is a great…

Toto I’ve a feeling we aren’t in Kansas anymore….
…so that was interesting and a little unexpected. We woke up one morning to a weather watch for Tornado’s….hmmmm. I can tell you it isn’t the most comfortable feeling looking at the radar and seeing orange, yellows, pinks and reds all in your proximity. Alas, we were fortunate and all we got were some dandy…

We aren’t rookies at this any longer but……..
…….stuff still happens. I’ll start with the onset of our trip down to Hilton Head. After last years travails getting the 5th wheel from the lake we decided to store it over the winter at a much more accessible place. It was only about 25 minutes from home and allowed us to make a few…

E – “Cleveland Rocks”
Our last destination visit was Cleveland. When I was first planning the route we needed at least one break between Nashville and home and I saw Cleveland and said gotta go…Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame! It was really good. I saw something pertaining to so many of my favourites, some are in the hall…

E – A little Honky Tonkin’
Nashville lived up to the rather high expectations! It was a great third leg of the musically influenced part of our trip. Our first experience was a walk down Broadway where the majority of the bars are. The first place we hit was, Layla’s Honky Tonk. The trio here were absolutely amazing! After that we…
