It’s a trade off over when you start up and end. We never have waited until Labor Day to here. We always started in the middle of August. The coastal counties in SC wait to start, but they want their teens available for hospitality & restaurant jobs when during the heavy tourism weeks which...

2 more days and the school year starts for me. Mary Ellen has another week to go.

Like that one and Cook’s in Lexington. I knew I had better shot at being able to park the camper there.

Pictures from our 25K miles with Jeremiah starting with picking up in Necedah and our first camping trip in it at Oconee State Park. The cat inside was Indira (Himalayan). She loved the camper; we always had to check for a stowaway before taking off. The cat you’ll see is Ginger. He’ll sleep in...

We have 3 of the Ryobi fans you clip on. Ryobi and its parent company TTI have a big facility in my city. And we have Direct Tools Outlet store here too that sales mostly Ryobi branded stuff. Sometimes the price is no different than at Home Depot, but sometimes it’s a good deal. The fans are...

Yes, our hike in NM was an out/back trail. Normally try to avoid, but this was really different going in the opposite direction.

My mother and a couple of my aunts go just about every month. Small jobs like recovering seats my mother can do and she likes doing it. She’s become the family upholstery person. We had hoped to find something in the remnants where you pay by the pound. Couldn’t find anything we liked that...

We decided it was time to replace the curtains in our CI. We live in what once a textile hub and there still is some textiles here. One place is warehouse that opens one weekend a month to the public. This was the weekend since last weekend had the 4th on Friday. They have just about any type of...

This week’s Top 40 - July 8, 1972. - Bill Withers & Billy Preston are solid, but at #5 is Candy Man. Why? I like Sammy Davis, Jr just not this song. Procol Harum, Alice Cooper, Elton John, Derek & the Dominoes, Aretha Franklin. A lot good stuff, but there are some head scratchers.

We did see at least one Stuckey’s on this trip, We went in one in the Maryland Eastern Shore (if not Maryland, then Virginia eastern shore), And I’ve see Stuckey”s pecan logs in Pilot truck stops before. We mostly stopped at Love’s Truck Stops this trip.

Sanford-Yake Campground is located in the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area about 30 miles north of Amarillo, TX near Fritch, TX. There are 10 sites with water and electricity. To reserve these you call the marina (See the NPS link below for the number). This is a concessionaire run...

We camped here for a night on our way back from New Mexico. Not far from I-40 and it is on the Foss Reservoir. Had Site 1. Not a great site for summer as there was little shade, but we there late enough in the day it was not a big deal for us. Really nice bathroom and shower facilities...

Did not camp here, but went through the campground to get to the trail head for the Columbine Trail. Very shady and nice looking. Paved sites. Pit toilets. Water in the campground but not at each site. Close to both Questa and Red River, NM. Some sites reservable. Great trail at the back...

Located on Cochiti Lake. We were on the Buffalo Grove Loop which appeared to be pretty new looking at the facilities. We were on site 63. This loop is on a hill so the farther from the Bathhouse you are the more up hill you are too. Paved sites with covered, concrete picnic table. grill and...

Camped one night at Gulpha Gorge campground in Hot Springs National Park. We were in site 44 which backed up to creek and was at a spot where the water tumbled a few feet over some rocks across the creek. The sound of the water was great. This site is next to one of the bathrooms, but it does...

Camped here one night on our way to New Mexico. Good campground. We across the road from the waterfront sites, but close we got the breeze from the water. Decent bathhouse as you were in there by yourself with a locked door. toilets were on the opposite side of the building. Would definitely...

On our recent trip to New Mexico, we crossed 25,000 Miles and stand at 25,783 right now. We also made it to 200 nights and are currently at 205 nights spent sleeping in our 560 Ultra. It took us a little over 10 years to get here as we picked #720 on March 31, 2015. In these 25K miles we have...

Absolutely!

Lot of marching bands played those and others. Sheet music was cheaper than other types of music.
