Soon …. Very Soon!

Time to transition from the boat to the travel trailer.  A time that always causes me heartache — I love living on our boat … but I’m so excited about our new adventures to the national parks in our Lance 1685 travel trailer.  The RV lifestyle is similar to living aboard since we’ll be moving our “house” from neighborhood to neighborhood as we please.  Cannot WAIT! Coming Mid-March … 2.5 months, 5,500 miles, 12 states (+ or -) our “new” Lance 1685 and our old Toyota 4 Runner (please...

National Key Deer Refuge

From a paltry 25 key deer in 1951, these highly endangered “toy” deer have started a comeback, with 1000 today. Unfortunately last year 137 were killed, so they’re not rebounding fast enough to get off the endangered species list.

St George Island State Park Campground

One of our favorite campsites – equaling the amazing on the beach camping in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore – maybe even better!  St George Island State Park is a barrier island park with 60 campsites with electricity, water hookups and a dump station nearby.  The campground is located behind historic dunes in the pine forest – with shade!  There are no ocean or Gulf views, but the campsites are only a quarter mile from the beach. There are two restrooms with hot showers, a playground and nature trails that meander from...
