Nonetheless, I do apologize for not letting you know about these fantastic people before now. So we were driving toward Ocean Springs,Continue reading “REVIEW: Chop Shop Diesel”

Ocean Springs, MS
Known for its many artists, galleries, good food, casinos and oh those warm ocean breezes! Makes you want to go huh? Well it was cool the few days we were there but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. We saw an alligator – female I”m told, though I’m not sure how this person knew – heard LOTSContinue reading “Ocean Springs, MS”
The long and winding road…
It’s March 31, 2023 and our last full day at Iron Mountain Campground in Arkadelphia, AR where we have been since mid-October workamping for the Army Corp of Engineers. It was a long cold and stormy winter and very quiet as the campground was closed from December 1 until March 1. Other than our fellowContinue reading “The long and winding road…”
Goodbye 2022 – Hello 2023
It has been a minute or two since our last post. Life is busy – that doesn’t change. Sometimes I sit and wonder “how did I ever have time to work?” But I realize, as with all things, we find time for the things we want to do, the things we need to do andContinue reading “Goodbye 2022 – Hello 2023”
USS TRITON PARK
The USS Triton, USRN/SSN-586 was in service from 1958 through 1969 and has a couple of distinctions, the only submarine with twin reactors (one for each propeller) and, in 1960, made a submerged circumnavigation of the earth.

July 4, 2022
On the SMART Pacific Coast Caravan, we spent the 4th in North Bend, OR. The traditional fireworks display was wonderful, and we had a great viewpoint from the edge of the campground. The temperatures were in the mid 60’s and light winds blew the firework smoke away from us. As I concentrated on taking picturesContinue reading “July 4, 2022”
RVing “Caravan Style” Part 2
Sunday, June 19, Father’s Day found us driving north and into Oregon. One would think that the geography would be similar as we were only 43 or so miles from our last camp in California, but it was different. Northern California was mostly forest and a lot of overgrowth. Oregon opened up to rolling hills,Continue reading “RVing “Caravan Style” Part 2″
RVing “Caravan” Style – Part I
Saturday June 11, we were up early as we had a good drive yet to meet up with our SMART (Special Military Active Recreation Travels) Caravan group in Fortuna California. Camp was up Pacific Coast Highway 101 about 275 miles north. We arrived there with just enough time to get our 5th wheel set up,Continue reading “RVing “Caravan” Style – Part I”
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”
