E – Chillin’ in Port St. Joe
When I first booked Port St. Joe I was looking for a stop on the way to New Orleans from south Florida that would give us a couple days of beach relaxation and Port St. Joe didn’t disappoint. The park we stayed in was right on St. Josephs Bay which is separated from the Gulf…

E – The Awesome and not so Awesome time in the Everglades
Where to begin….it was an adventurous, beautiful and challenging time. First off we had an uneventful drive from Titusville to the Everglades National Park and our site at Long Pine Key Park. This is our first attempt at boondocking…no hookups…water, sewer or electric. We pulled in to the park and went to the pump/fill station…

E – Wow…that’s impressive!
We had a very short stay in Titusville on our way to the Everglades. We had a bit of an adventure getting into our site when we arrived on Saturday….we are finding this happens sometimes with these parks. The park itself is quite nice with a pier you can fish off and there are lots…

E – Hilton High
Well what a great next phase of the trip after a challenging start. First off the RV resort we stayed in was awesome. The place caters to the RV’ers and is connected to Hilton Head National Golf course…we walked to the first tee 😄. The amenities were impeccable and the staff were outstanding. After we…

E – First few days eventful as always.
After making a run to drop off a bunch of stuff and get a run through on operating the solar set up a few days earlier we headed to Perth to pick up the rig and head out. A minor hiccup with the map and we were on our way. We pull up to the…

E – A really nice day in Bar Harbor and Spectacular ride in Acadia National Park but….
I am going to get a new f*@*##$& bike. As some of you know I am not entirely fond of the current hybrid I have..to put it mildly. I am kinda wishing it got completely totalled when it fell of the rack before we left. The frame is too heavy and the tires are great…

E – Another lesson learned
Well you should never leave Cape Cod on a holiday Monday. Yesterday was a rather long travel day. It started out fine enough, we targeted a 9 o’clock departure and we’re out the gate by 9:15…within 20 minutes we realized “holy smokes, this is like coming down from the Muskokas on a Sunday or holiday…

E – A big event and other tidbits
So…as many of you know there was a specific incident on the test trip a bunch of years ago that had a significant impact on the trip…and not in a positive way and it put me in a position where, strategically, I didn’t think it wise to talk about integrating RV’ing of any sort into…
