We made it to Michigan! We were both excited for our travels within the state of Michigan over the next two weeks! Summer reservations along Lake Michigan are not easy to get even when you try the first of February. Barry’s first, and second choice campgrounds with amazing views of Lake Michigan were already full… Continue reading Michigan! Van Buren State Park

RV Hall of Fame & Museum
While in Nappanee, Indiana, we drove up to Elkhart Friday morning to see the RV Hall of Fame and Museum. Admission was $12 for seniors. It was pretty cool seeing such original, old, creative RVs. Head down part of this historical RV road to see where the RVs of today got started. Definitely one of the… Continue reading RV Hall of Fame & Museum
Newmar, Nertz and More!
We had a 3-day scheduled appointment at the Newmar Service Center in Nappanee, Indiana beginning the morning of July 27. We arrived on Tuesday, July 26. The RV parking area has about 60 level concrete sites with full hook-ups. There were nice grass sections on each side of the concrete pad to give everyone plenty… Continue reading Newmar, Nertz and More!
Reconnecting With Family
As Barry was planning our extensive trip to the Midwest and East Coast, he asked if there were any specific stops I wanted to make. I immediately said that I’d like to visit my Aunt Judy in the Columbus area. Our time in Ohio was going to be quite limited due to a scheduled reservation/appointment… Continue reading Reconnecting With Family
Smoky Mountains – Clingmans Dome
July 22, was our last full day in the Great Smoky Mountains. Because today’s weather forecast had the most accommodating weather for decent views from Clingmans Dome, we planned that destination for today. It was perfect! At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and in all… Continue reading Smoky Mountains – Clingmans Dome
Smoky Mountains – Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg
We arrived in Pigeon Forge on July 19, 2022. Just driving through Pigeon Forge was quite the experience. What a tourist mecca! You can easily get distracted by all the larger-than-life attractions block after block, and they are not cheap. We stuck with the priorities we made coming here: see the actual Smoky Mountains (National… Continue reading Smoky Mountains – Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg
A Glimpse of Nashville
Two Rivers Campground was a great place to stay. It has easy access in and out from the highway, and is about a mile from Opryland. We had reservations for July 17th & 18th with full hook-ups (50amp). Sites were a generous size, and quite level. The campground has live music every night from about… Continue reading A Glimpse of Nashville
Memphis – Not As Expected
It was after 1pm on July 16 when we arrived at a crowded Cracker Barrel in Memphis for a one night travel stop. The Cracker Barrel RV spot available was way too small for us. We parked across several regular parking spots that were behind the RV area. I checked with management and we were… Continue reading Memphis – Not As Expected
Clinton Presidential Center & MORE
We stopped for two nights in Little Rock, AR. This was my first time in Arkansas. We had an awesome site at the North Little Rock Downtown Riverside RV Park! While it was extremely hot and humid during our stay, we enjoyed the water views with multiple bridges. After sunset it was fairly pleasant outside-although… Continue reading Clinton Presidential Center & MORE
Oklahoma City and A Full Moon Bike Ride
I’ve never been too crazy about Oklahoma, but we arrived for one night in Oklahoma City (OKC), and what an impressive city! Barry discovered a Full Moon Bike Ride that was happening the night we had a travel stop in OKC. We thought it would be cool to do the bike ride, and it would… Continue reading Oklahoma City and A Full Moon Bike Ride
