Our weekend getaway turned into both a fun adventure and a learning experience with the Thor. The Campground: We stayed at Heritage RV Park, located near Augusta National Golf Club. Because The Masters Tournament was coming up the following week, we couldn’t extend our stay, but the park itself was wonderful—very well maintained with a…

What started as a simple weekend trip turned into a full week away—thanks to us getting more comfortable with the Thor. Since it was our 30th anniversary, we decided to make the most of it and enjoy some extended time on the road. The Campground: We booked our stay at Thousand Trails Oaks at South…

In the middle of June, we landed in our old hometown, West Jefferson, NC. Everyone in town is familiar with Greenfield Campground, and that is where we chose to stay. Setup is definitely getting easier, and the short drive was not bad at all. We need more blocking. This weekend we took time to ourselves…

This time at Moody Bluff we stayed a full week and worked remotely the days we were scheduled. This gave us an opportunity to test Star Link internet in our work environment. The sites are Moody Bluff are only partial shade. This allowed Star Link to work with very minimal obstructions. Like most of the…

Mount Airy, NC, has always been fairly local for us, but we’d never taken the time to visit. Now that we’re embracing the road life, it felt like the right next stop. Naturally, we chose Mayberry Campground, a nod to the town’s Mayberry legacy—simple, classic, and welcoming. Mayberry Campground turned out to be a great…

Now that we have had our new Class A for a few weeks, we found some items that just were not working as expected. Maintenance needed to be planned very carefully since we full time in ours. We were able to get an 8am appointment with our dealer. The plan was to leave it with…

Our first long trip of two weeks took us to Carolina Landing in Fair Play, SC. A Thousand Trails location, this stay only cost us travel fees. Not ever having been to the area, we were excited to explore. For this trip, we surfed the web for weeks before we got to the area, to…

Thursday, 4 September 2025: We arrived from Carolina Landing in Fair Play, SC, to rain and wind and much colder than what we left! Set up and hunkered down for the night. Friday,…

After three full weeks in Lenoir, we were finally back on the road again! While we originally hoped to head out a bit sooner, life had other plans—birthdays, work commitments, and a round of cat sitting made sure we stayed put just a little longer. Wednesday, 1 October 2025: Wednesday finally rolled around, and we…

With just under four hours of driving ahead, we figured there was no need to rush. The plan was simple: leave by noon, take our time, and still arrive with daylight to spare for setup. Sounds easy, right? Well, travel days have their own opinions. Before we could even think about hitting the road, we…

Our stay at Thousand Trails Lynchburg marked another memorable trip — one we had originally planned for April but never made it for reasons now forgotten.

Sunday, 2 November 2025: Smokey was overdue for a bath, and as luck would have it, our route took us right past a Blue Beacon Truck Wash. Quick service, friendly folks, and before long both Smokey and Goose were sparkling clean — ready for the next leg of our fall adventure. The drive was pure…

We knew heading back the weather was going to be extremely cold this week, but the arrival was very pleasant. Of course, no changes at Green Mountain Park. The roads are still blocked off from the flood several months ago, so we go with what we have said for the last few years. “It is…

We headed back to Moody Bluff on Friday. A wet morning caused some delay and a little bit of a reroute from the norm. Since we were traveling through Mountain City, TN we found lunch just across the state line, Sharpie’s. Kevin’s parents have talked about Sharpie’s for years, but each time we traveled through…

Since June of last year, we have looked forward to returning to Thousand Trails: The Oaks at Point South. From there, we are about an hour from Savannah and Charleston, about 35 minutes from Beaufort and Hilton Head. The drive was good and even better that it was only a two hour drive. You know,…

Wednesday, 4 February 2026: Our original plans had us heading to west Georgia for a week before turning north, but the weather has settled in at this latitude. So, we nudged a little farther south and found a new spot to call home for a bit. About two hours south of Yemassee, we landed at…
