1/5/22 – Hitting the road early I made good time and arrived way too early for my check in at Bottomless Lakes State Park just outside of Roswell, NM. Unlike most of the other parks I had stayed in that allow check in between 11am and 1pm, NM parks don’t allow check in until 4pm,Continue reading “Roswell, NM”

Texas is HUGE
12/27/21 – With a twinge of regret I broke camp and continued the journey, North today but ultimately Westward towards “home”.

A historic Antebellum plantation with a storied past that began in 1796 “…when General David Bradford, also knownContinue reading “Texas is HUGE”
NOLA for XMas!
12/21 – I was excited for my first visit to New Orleans so I was up early and on the road for the 4.5 hour drive to New Orleans. I had chosen to just grind it out on the I-10 Interstate since the weather was still not great and I had seen enough stop signsContinue reading “NOLA for XMas!”
Fort De Soto, Part Deux
12/14 – Reluctant to leave my great spot on the Peace River but excited to hang out with friends, I broke camp and made the short drive back to the Gulf coast and Fort De Soto park campground.

I was quickly becoming a weather channel junky trying to predict the good days so thatContinue reading “November in Key Largo”

Located 70 miles west of Key West the Dry Tortugas National Park is part of a small group of islands and on the largest is the historic Fort Jefferson which is one of the largest remaining 19th centuryContinue reading “Dry Tortugas National Park”
Rainy days in South Florida
What better way to spend a rainy day than to visit a museum! The History of Diving museum has been on my radar and since Florida is being all gloomy and rainy today I stopped by for a visit. They have quite the large selection of vintage dive equipment including a unique wall of nationsContinue reading “Rainy days in South Florida”
South for the winter!
10/28/21 – Midway campground. I had picked this spot for its location as it really was about “midway” for me from Sebring to my next stop in Key Largo. A small state campground of about 20 sites around a small pond. Nothing to write home about and I didn’t take a single picture the fewContinue reading “South for the winter!”
