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…

Diane: Everglades and Solar Goes Live
Settle in. I have lots to cover. ☺️ After a busy few weeks, Long Pines Key campground in the Everglades National Park was beautifully calm and quiet. Mostly, we were alone to listen to the birds and crickets. The park itself is (from Wikipedia) “1.5 million acres of tropical and subtropical habitat with one of…

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…

Diane: I Flew to Mars Today
…at the Kennedy Space Center. Virtual reality is a fun experience. On my Mars ride, I had to fight the urge to lift my feet as we flew closely over the top of a canyon. 😳 We spent most of our time at the Apollo Center. Here’s the Apollo 13 command module: Our site today…

Diane: Living at the Ritz in Hilton Head
Seriously, Hilton Head National RV Resort and Cottages is treating us well. Our first clue was the escort to our site and guidance backing in (thankfully, relieving me of my usual duties). It’s a gated community, with impeccable grounds. The site has a concrete pad with a nice wooded area behind us. The resort clubhouse…

Di: Finally, Hilton Head
Sunny, warm(ish), and dry Hilton Head. Love it. We arrived at the Hilton Head National RV Resort and Cottages yesterday, and after setting up, headed over to Billy Mac’s Grill to enjoy beverages and the Masters on the big screen with other fans. Watching all the good swings by the pros must’ve helped me this…

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 – Yikes! What a way to Start
We started planning this trip last fall and I started booking the major stops in September. We knew the route and where we wanted to make longer stops and needed to add the minor stops that break up the driving into manageable chunks. With that done it was time to think about getting the rig…
