Shell-less Turtle

Shell-less Turtle It’s been too long for us not to send out an update, but in our defense, we have been out of sorts. Can you tell what is missing here? Yes, it’s Maverick. Maverick has been gone for 7 weeks! Pearl is missing her other half! Back in May, we shared that Maverick needed…

Easter Celebration

We are really liking our little community of campers and tiny homes, and spending the holiday celebrating with everyone here just solidified those feelings. The owners decided to have a potluck the Saturday prior to Easter, and said they would supply the protein. Considering they are both trained chefs, I thought that was a banner…

Ride the Wave

The mountain wave, that is. I BRIEFLY mentioned the unique weather here on the side of Mt. Tabor, but we had another HUGE weather event and Greg has done a lot more research that we wanted to share. What is a mountain wave? That’s a great question. A mountain wave is when wind hits a…

Full-time RVing… it’s not an extra long vacation

…much to my disappointment, lol. I had ‘retired’ and was all in for this months-long vacation, that hasn’t happened yet. However, Greg was still working, so I thought we were doing this wrong. We have now been a part of this lifestyle for 6 months, and have learned so much from experience and from others.…

Getting the full experience

While we came out to this area in the Fall and stayed for 2.5 months, we never took any of the steps to become residents. Realizing our shortfall, we jumped in with both feet as soon as we got back to Greene County. Got my TN license, changed over the vehicle insurance, and got the…

The 48-Point Turn

Kidding, but not really. How many times did I shift into reverse??? I honestly lost track. We have moved into Old Mountain Campground and are very excited about living at the base of the mountain with access to hiking trails directly from the campground. With that being said, the roads getting into the campsite were…

Back “Home” to TN

We left the farm on February 4th and I already miss it. Well, not the mosquitos, but I was able to spend some quality time chatting with Aunt Lynn and then whatever Uncle Harry and Uncle Jim were up to that day. I’ll miss that for sure. Greg also got to spend some quality time…

Moochdocking

Moochdocking – Parking on someone’s land for free (preferably you would know this “someone”) without any hookups. There are some things to take into consideration when going this route with your camper since your comfort is at stake. While we are parked for ‘free’, we do have some hookups, thankfully. From the start, we knew…

Enjoying the Journey. Literally.

Google Maps indicated that it would take about 10.5 hours to drive from where we stayed in TN to Melbourne, FL. Since we have time now, we took four days to make the drive. Yes. Four days to make a one day drive. I love this life. Taking what we learning from boondocking on the…

Boondocking

Boondocking – the art of camping without full hookups (water/electric/sewer). Basically, the rig is a very comfortable tent (unless it’s hot out…). First lesson, drive times. We stayed 3 stayed at a KOA in Tulsa to learn about the rig and make sure everything works the way it is supposed to. We probably should have…
