It’s Monday, it must be Utah

As many of you know, we spent the winter and spring (October through May) workamping at Up the Creek RV Camp in Pigeon Forge TN. That was a great experience at a great campground. Watch for a post sometime soon about our first workamping gig. When we left TN, we went to KY to visitContinue reading “It’s Monday, it must be Utah”

A Submariner’s View

The USS Nautilus (SSN-571) August 4, 2021 When doing a job — any job — one must feel that he owns it, and act as though he will remain in that job forever. ~ Hyman Rickover As you might imagine, with my having been a submariner during my time in the Navy, touring the firstContinue reading “A Submariner’s View”

New England Whale Watching

August 1, 2021 A few years ago, several members of our family went on a cruise along the inside passage to Alaska. If you have been on a cruise (this was our first) you know there are several stops on the way to your final destination. You can explore the small towns or if youContinue reading “New England Whale Watching”

Boston, MA – The Freedom Trail

July 31, 2021 I don’t know about you, but when I travel I like to imagine how the area looked and what the people who settled the area did and even what they would think of the world as we see it today. Boston is a great place for the imagination, and while Boston isContinue reading “Boston, MA – The Freedom Trail”

And Just like that…We’re Back!

I’m going to state the obvious and say it’s been awhile since I posted. I/we really have been busy and for me, adjusting to full time RV life where we are often on the move has been a bigger-than-I-thought adjustment. I don’t dislike it, not at all, I just missed my house and most ofContinue reading “And Just like that…We’re Back!”

Electrical Upgrades and Lessons Learned

While in the US Navy I was trained as an Electronics Technician as a path to become a Nuclear Power Reactor Operator. I realized that while I could understand and perform electrical task, this was not my strong suit. So, when I decided to pursue my engineering degree, it was not electrical, rather mechanical. YouContinue reading “Electrical Upgrades and Lessons Learned”

Yellowstone – Day 2

Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Old Faithful Who knew there was a Grand Canyon in Yellowstone? And it is breathtaking. The second photo from the left on bottom row in this series is commonly called Artist’s Point and I think it is obvious as to why. The cliffs are actually rusting from exposure toContinue reading “Yellowstone – Day 2”

Yellowstone National Park – Day 1

So what is the first thing most people think of when Yellowstone National Park is mentioned? More than likely it is Old Faithful, probably the most well known geyser in the world but there is so much MORE to see and do than just Old Faithful. Even so, make a point to see Old FaithfulContinue reading “Yellowstone National Park – Day 1”

Grand Teton National Park

On June 24, 2021 after a long day of driving we pulled into Palisades RV Park in Irwin Idaho and was greeted by the owner Naoma. The park is fairly small, but very well maintained and friendly. Camping sites back up to one another with ample space both in front and behind your RV. FullContinue reading “Grand Teton National Park”
