Year In Review 2018

I didn't make a new year resolution last year but my goal was to exercise almost every day and I was able to stick to it and I'm very happy with the progress. It becomes a new lifestyle and hopes to carry this over to next year. I'm taking it one year at a time.…

Camping at Anchor Down RV Resort

We have been camping for several years now and mostly camping close to home if it's just for the weekend. This time we ventured out a bit further and camped at Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge, TN. It was over 3 hours drive and 185 miles. It's nice to be able to make this trip and…

The End of Summer Camping

Labor day weekend marked the end of the Summer for us and we were fortunate to be able to go to the beach the last few years. This year the tropical storm came through Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area and we weren't sure if we would be able to make it. The storm came through…

Vacations

This is my contribution to Scott’s Assignment 27: Vacation. I would love to take a long vacation in a far away exotic land, but for now our vacation destination is wherever our RV would take us. Vacation to me is time spending with my family. We took many camping trips this year, one of my…

Camping Weekends

We went camping on Memorial weekend, and also the weekend after. The Memorial weekend was cold and the campground packed with campers.  It really gives you the feeling of what camping is all about. I think Lee is enjoying the camping life more this year in comparison to last year. Max loved camping. I'm not…

Visiting Linville Caverns

Since we were camping near Linville Caverns we decided to visit the cave on Saturday. It was a winding road heading up the mountain, and my 4wd Rav4 did very well for a small SUV. My dad and I have visited a cave called Tum Jung in Vang Vieng Laos before, but this is our…

Camping Weekend

It's nice to comeback to a familiar place and if the woods could talk it's probably would greet me with a smile and ask where have you been Nye? I didn't know you hibernate like the bears. This is my first time seeing an antenna looking like an outer space craft. The mountain flowers are…

Pirateland Campground in Myrtle Beach Day 1

The disadvantage of living in the Foothills is that we live so far away from the ocean, and we could only plan our trip on a long weekend. Last Labor day weekend we tent camping at Emerald Isle, and this year we decided to head to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  It was a 5 hour…
