GMP One Last Time, Maybe?? Plans!!
We traveled back to Green Mountain Park to clear off our site. In January, we planned to head out on a long adventure and needed to decide what we were hauling with us and what we were storing or selling. Our plan was to be there for 33 days. If you want to make God…

Moody Bluff – Football, Thanksgiving, and Time with Friends and Family
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…

Back in Lenoir, NC for Family Visits and Winter Prep
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…

Back in North Carolina – Mount Airy in the Fall
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…

A Pit Stop with Friends
Thursday, 30 October 2025: We took advantage of an offer from friends between Chesapeake and our next stop, and arrived in Red Oak, VA, at Kennon and Denise’s place. Kennon has told us many times to come up, and true to his word, he made sure he could accommodate us. We let them know we’d…

Lynchburg, VA – Ten Days Well Spent: Trails, Towns, and Time Together
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. This time, though, we made it, and although we didn’t get to everything on our list, we made some great memories along the way. Monday, 6 October 2025: We…

Travel days – Follow all the rules you want. Where does the day go?
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…

Finally – We are off on a loop through Virginia
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…
