Hurricane Helene & Our Community
We love many things about living in the mountains, but our favorite part has been the humans. Salt of the earth, genuine, authentic kind of humans. The 3 days leading up to Hurricane Helene hitting the area brought us 7.61″ of rain. THEN the hurricane rains came. Good for us, bad for the NC side,…

Fall Colors 2024
One of the benefits of living in the mountains is we get to watch the beauty of the Fall colors as the leaves change from the top of the mountain down. With so much destruction in the area from the rains before and during Hurricane Helene, it was nice to get out and enjoy the…

Visiting the Littles
In June, I went up to Iowa for a quick weekend to see all my Littles. Sarah didn’t have a regular baby shower, but a “Pregger Kegger”. Bring diapers/wipes and enjoy time with family. I loved being able to see Jason and Sarah, and of course, Riley. I brought up some cases of diapers and…

Maverick is Headed Back for Service
We understood that buying new, we would have to deal with all the quirks of manufacturing issues. However, this has been a bit more dramatic in scope than we originally planned. From the broken refrigerator, to the leak behind the shower wall, we have learned a TON about RV ownership. While wintering in Florida this…

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.…

Epic Fail?
I failed at retirement. I have come to the conclusion that retirement is harder than working. Well, I guess I only “kinda” retired, so I only “kinda” failed. Greg didn’t retire at all, so he is still working 8-10 hour days. It’s not fun being retired without him! I can only read so much without…

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…

She Pulls the Camper?!
Yes, she does. Do you know how many times Greg and I get that question when people either realize who’s driving the truck or if they ask? Why is that so shocking? I guess I have only personally met a couple women who pull long rigs like Maverick, and they are FIERCE women. If that…

Unique America
Being on the road much more often now has given us the opportunity to see some unique sites. Obviously, I couldn’t take pictures of everything since I was driving, but I wanted to share the funny things we found. I went to visit the kids in October, and little Riley had hung out in the…
