Fort Lauderdale and Miami’s South Beach
After leaving the Florida Keys, we returned to CB Smith’s County Park just outside Fort Lauderdale for a few more days so that we could visit with some old friends and experience Fort Lauderdale Beach and Miami’s famed South Beach. It had been years since we had seen either of our friends: Mark, who attended high school with our daughter, and his partner Andy, and Steve, once married to the now-departed... [Read more]
Kingman, AZ to Las Vegas
We left Kingman, Arizona, on the 21st of July, after having to put down our beautiful, loyal Australian Terrier, Rocky, the day before after he put out is back for the second time in 5 months. We were very depressed and really not in the mood to go on at that point. But we did. We planned to visit the Dam and the Lake Mead NRA. When we got to the dam, traffic was all backed up due to construction... [Read more]
Remembering Lake Ronkonkoma…
We were recently on Long Island in New York, visiting friends and family, when we passed an exit for Lake Ronkonkoma, a place of many childhood memories. I’ve crafted a short story about one of our family’s trips out to the lake one Saturday morning. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together. ***** It was early Saturday morning and we were going to Lake Ronkonkoma! Well,... [Read more]
Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
Topsail Hill Preserve State Park’s Gregory E. Moore RV Resort is located on the Florida Panhandle’s famous Emerald Coast. It’s in Santa Rosa, Florida on Route 30A South, 1 mile south of Route 98. Topsail is a beautiful park with large, paved sites. The grounds are very nicely landscaped and well maintained. Quality wise, I think that it’s right up there with Disney’s Fort... [Read more]
The Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona
We were heading toward Flagstaff, Arizona, and that day’s goal; Sedona, Arizona’s red rocks area. We had left Albuquerque, New Mexico earlier that morning and headed west on I-40, also known as Route 66 — “The Mother Road” — in those parts. We were looking forward to seeing Sedona, where we would camp for the next several days. But, about 50 miles after we crossed the New Mexico border... [Read more]
Favorite Camping Trips — Old Sturbridge Village and Wells State Park, Massachusetts
Old Sturbridge Village is the largest outdoor living history museum in the Northeast. It’s located on Route 20 in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. It portrays New England Village life from 1790 to 1830. Friendly and knowledgeable costumed characters, known as history interpreters, play the roles of Sturbridge villagers. They can be seen each day carrying out their private lives and trades. They’ll answer... [Read more]
Trailer Mod — Dinette Becomes Couch — Shazam!
Our Cabin On Wheels - The Fun Finder X 189FBR Some folks asked me to describe a modification that I made to our trailer. After a few trips, it became clear (to me) that our floorplan wasn’t optimal for our use. The pictures below, from another Fun Finder 189 FBR, with the “endless red” color plan, illustrate the standard setup. Although DW accused me of wanting to “tear our... [Read more]
Unforgettable Trips — Franconia Notch, NH
Dateline October, 1979 One of our favorite destinations in New England is the Franconia Notch State Park area of New Hampshire; the White Mountains. There are lots everything we enjoy: mountains, deep dark woods, pure, ice cold streams racing over rock strewn, water-carved flumes and small New England villages. It was easy to visualize the ghosts of courageous 17th and 18th century fur trappers... [Read more]
Looking For Fun with the Fun Finder
How did we select our current RV? Well, I’d like to report that we had unlimited funds and time to select nothing but the very best that satisfied our every whim and need. I’d like to tell you that, but it wouldn’t be true. Instead, I’ll tell you what is probably a common story. We had camped for many years while the kids were growing up. But, as time went on, life began to interfere. Promotions,... [Read more]
♪♪♪♫-A-Three-Hour-Tour-♪♪♪♫
Let’s say you’re in the New England area and are planning a visit to far eastern Long Island, New York. You want to take your RV but, in light of my last post, you’ve decided that you don’t want to face the island’s infamous Long Island Expressway traffic. Well, there is an alternative. How about a nice boat trip. Yes, a boat trip — actually a ferry — with your RV onboard? It’ll... [Read more]
