Awesome April in Nashville – Music, Film, Sports and More
March 29, 2012 by Guest Blogger · Leave a Comment
Music City celebrates the month of April with Awesome April, a musical tribute to the city that promises a major event each weekend. Be in the audience of a nationally televised awards show, listen to songwriters perform their Grammy-winning songs, enjoy the tradition of the Country Music Hall of Fame, or listen to the “next big star” at the honky-tonks downtown. The month of April offers something for every taste with art exhibits, sports, music, family entertainment and much more. Here’s how it works: throughout the month of April, Nashville hosts the big name concerts acts they’re known for, and they also throw on a heaping plateful of comedy, performance art, film and more. All of the events are offered individually. Some of the highlights include the Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival, which is America’s largest music festival dedicated to songs and songwriters, the Nashville Film Festival, which is one of the longest-running film festivals in the country and one of the most...

Cottonwood Cove RV Park is a Fisherman’s Paradise
March 25, 2012 by Guest Blogger · Leave a Comment
The fish are biting in Lake Mohave so if you love spending time out on the water and eating Rainbow Trout that you’ve caught yourself, then you’ll want to plan a stay at Cottonwood Cove Resort and Marina, just 14 miles east of Searchlight NV. If you go south of Cottonwood Cove on Lake Mohave— towards Katherine’s Landing and Laughlin—you’ll likely catch Largemouth or Striped Bass. Maybe you’d rather sunbathe to your heart’s content. Travel north of the Marina to the cold waters of the Colorado River, near and above Willow Beach toward Hoover Dam. There are literally hundreds of beaches to explore along the Lake Mohave shoreline—but most of them can only be reached by boat. Needless to say, the fishing is excellent. And, that’s where staying at Cottonwood Cove Resort and Marina comes in handy. Forever Resorts, the concessioner for the National Park Service at this location in the Lake Mead National Recreation area, rents boats! All sorts of boats. So if fishing... [Read more...]

IMAGINE YOURSELF HERE – Relaxing along Florida’s “Forgotten Coast.”
March 9, 2012 by Professor95 · 5 Comments
My Mom always said I was part fish. You see, I love the water. It can be a lake, pond, or ocean – it really doesn’t make any difference as long as I can get out on or in it. After aimlessly wandering around Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana, we found ourselves skirting the Gulf Coast of Florida on Highway 98. Our destination was a small “hole-in-the-wall” RV Park just outside of Carrabelle. Appropriately, the park’s name is Ho-Hum. Now, if that doesn’t imply a laid back and restful don’t-give-a-care attitude I don’t know what does? There are maybe 50 sites here. All of them are made up of broken shells, gravel, and sand. Grass is scarce, much to Oscar’s dismay, but beautiful views and magnificent barrier islands are aplenty. If you are looking for shopping, movies and amusement park rides this is definitely not where you want to go. But, if you want to lay back and forget about the hectic pace of more populated and busy locations, this is the place... [Read more...]
The RV Lifestyle….Our Little Piece of Paradise
March 9, 2012 by Guest Blogger · Leave a Comment
By Cathy Miles In the early part of 2001, we decided to upgrade from our Class C Leprechaun to a Horizon diesel pusher. Of course, being extremely excited, we couldn’t wait to spend our first night in our new rig. We grabbed our Woodall’s Campground Directory and found Cross Creek Camping Resort in the Columbus, Ohio area. This would be an ideal destination, as it would provide us with some road time from the dealership, yet it was only 150 miles from our home. We spent the night, and thus our lives were forever changed. While I was still teaching, our visits in the spring were limited to weekends. We would slip away to Cross Creek whenever we could. As the summer arrived, our stays became more regular and longer. With the onset of fall, our attention was focused on Ohio State football as we had season tickets. Cross Creek Camping Resort was just the answer. We would arrive on Friday evening; take the unit to the “SHOE” on Saturday morning to tailgate; and after the game,... [Read more...]
