The drive to Yosemite from Visalia Elks RV parking was initially quite pleasant as I drove 99 North to Fresno and then to the 41 North. But, OH MY! —once we were on the 49, it was hairpin curves, and tight “s-curves”, and switchbacks all over the place for over 30+ miles! VIDEOS:Feel the curves-… Continue reading To Yosemite Lakes TT

1st Trip to Los Algodones, Mexico
This morning Jimmy (pickleball Jimmy) and his wife Nancy took us with them to Los Algodones. The main reason was to meet their dentist, Jose.

Nancy used to work in a dental office in the states and originally said, “There… Continue reading 1st Trip to Los Algodones, Mexico
Kayak Paradise
Sue and Paul Finney, who are our newest friends here at Fortuna De Oro, invited us to go kayaking. It didn’t take us long to say, “Yes”! So we loaded our kayaks into our Jeep and followed them to Squaw Lake which was about 25 miles from Fortuna De Oro. It was a very pleasant… Continue reading Kayak Paradise

Visit to The Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk
We stayed two nights at Braunig Lake RV Park off exit 130 on Route 37. We used our Passport America card to make it only $25 each night for full hookups with 50 amp power. It was a decent park for this type of stay, and only about 12 miles from The Alamo and River… Continue reading Visit to The Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk

Ragan’s Family Campground – Madison, FL
Even though we only stopped here for a quick overnight between travel days, I was impressed with the Ragan’s Family Campground. It used to be a Jellystone Park Campground. On our way into Florida we spent the overnight at Deerwood Campground which is off the same interstate exit, and on the same road. Deerwood was… Continue reading Ragan’s Family Campground – Madison, FL
Official Floridians!
We originally considered Florida for our full-time RVing domicile, but it wasn’t going to work out. We were still in Washington State putting the house up for sale while finishing up my last year of teaching, so we flew to South Dakota and did everything without needing either vehicle to be there! We saved about… Continue reading Official Floridians!
RV Show After Party
Barry and I went to the “RV Show After Party” that was held across from the fairgrounds at The Wing House Bar & Grill. Luckily it was scheduled for Thursday evening which was our second day (and last day) at the Tampa RV Super Show. It was so cool to see Marc & Julie Bennett… Continue reading RV Show After Party
Tampa RV SUPER Show
I was really excited to come to the Tampa RV SUPER Show since so many YouTubers that we follow rave about this particular show. NO, we are NOT interested in replacing “Vinny Ventana”. (Although I really do not like our inside steps! And we do like the Newmar Dutch Star) But overall, we love our… Continue reading Tampa RV SUPER Show
