August has been a month of family for us and we have enjoyed it immensely. It started out with Heather’s dad and uncle coming to our house for a visit for a few days. Heather’s dad, Gary, now lives in Florida so we don’t get to see him nearly as often as we used to, […]

Life has been super busy this summer! There hasn’t been a ton of time for travel, and if you follow the YouTube channel, you know that our videos have been fewer and further between than usual. Jeff’s job has gotten extremely busy and we also have our house, yard, and vehicles to maintain and family

After a gorgeous few days in Pukaskwa National Park, we continued southwest, back into the U.S. to continue to explore Lake Superior along Minnesota’s North Shore. There is so much to see and do that it was difficult to decide which attractions to see this time, and which ones to leave for a future visit.

Around the lake we go! From Sault Ste. Marie, we headed through the border into Canada (no problems at the border crossing) and continued north and west to Pukaskwa National Park. Now, before you mis-read this entire blog post, we will go on and correct your pronunciation. It is pronounced puck-a-saw. We have no idea

We left on Saturday morning for a two week trip around the north shore of Lake Superior. Wow, does it ever feel good to be back on the road! After traveling the entire year last year, we started to feel more at home on the road than in our actual home. Being stationary again has

Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is a long strip of land that sits between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake in western Kentucky and Tennessee. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound here and there seems to be a little something for everyone! We will get to all that, but let’s start with where we stayed. There

We are wrapping up a few days at Mammoth Cave National Park in southern Kentucky. Since it is somewhat close to home, we have been here several times before, and because it is one of our favorite places to visit in Kentucky, it was one of the first places we thought of when we knew

What have we been up to lately? The short answer is that we have both returned to full-time work and we are also working hard to keep up with the YouTube channel. Our goal is always to put out a video per week, but working and trying to keep up with the other basics of

Well, we made it back to our home in Kentucky a little over a week ago. With our year(ish) adventure at an end, it is time to reflect on and wrap-up some of the statistics about the trip and answer some of the questions we have been asked. First, let’s look at some statistics: Number

It seems that every time we have two days to explore a place, one of those days is rainy and a complete washout. That was today in Cloudland Canyon State Park in northwestern Georgia. Luckily, we knew the forecast, so yesterday we were able to check out a couple of the overlooks and hike to

After almost 11 months of continuous and spectacular travel, we were overdue for some family time. We will be returning home to Kentucky very soon, but first, we have some family in Florida that we couldn’t miss visiting! While we have been gone, Heather’s dad, Gary, and step-mom, Lynne, have moved to the Orlando area.

Everyone has heard about winter manatee viewing in Florida springs, but most of the time you hear about Silver Springs or Blue Springs. We are sure those places are amazing, but they are also EXTREMELY difficult to get into, especially for folks like us who don’t plan months in advance. Knowing that those places probably

Continuing east, we have spent a couple of nights at Big Lagoon State Park. This is a sister park to Perdido Key State Park, so our camping fee allowed us into both to explore and enjoy! They are both small parks, and other than a couple of hiking trails, we feel like we got a

The last few days have been spent in the Ocean Springs, MS area. We are staying in the Davis Bayou Campground of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. This is a really nice campground with paved sites that are all equipped with electric and water and there is a dump station on site, too, so we
In our effort to continue east, we spent only a few days in Oklahoma before continuing on into Arkansas where we spent a few days in Hot Springs. To get (partially) from Oklahoma to Hot Springs, we chose to travel the Talimena National Scenic Byway. This is a 54 mile, two lane road between Talihina,
