Yep, this Blog is a little late! I wanted to wait writing it, so I could include our latest adventure. But first, let's start where we last ended. While staying at Patrick AFB, we took a day trip with a bunch of new friends from the RV Park to the nearby Navy UDT - SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida. This UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) and SEAL (Sea, Air, Land) museum was great! Before there we...
The grass is starting to get high around the wheels of the motorhome, as we're still at Manatee Cove Family Campground at Patrick AFB near Cocoa Beach, Florida. We've been here for the past 3 1/2 months, with two weeks left before we start our 2020 traveling. The weather has finally cooled off into the upper 60's. We're even running the heater most mornings now. But the bugs continue to keep attac...
Connie and I are still enjoying a relaxing time at Patrick AFB, near Cocoa Beach in Florida. While the weather has been mainly in the mid-70's, it still feels humid to us. We may be wimps, as we run the air-conditioning most of the time. Not for the heat, but to ward of the humidity. The windows being closed most of the time also wards of the many flying, evil, biting insects. We don't have many m...

Happy Holidays to All! Connie and I are enjoying our relaxing time at Patrick AFB in Florida. We can't believe we've been here for 2 months already! The weather here has still been humid, now in the mid-70's. We recently had some terrible rain storms, but it's all sunshine again. We're not doing too much, other than our usual winter "work" of preparing software for a client. We're about 75% ...
Time is passing by fairly quick, although we haven't been doing much other than relaxing. Isn't that what "not traveling" and enjoying a winter break is supposed to be about? Our traveling friends, Bob and Joyce Childre, have a "sticks and bricks" home about 90 minutes from here. We met these friends in the Arizona desert about 12 years ago. Since then, we meet up about every 2- 3 years and ...
Kentucky While staying at Camp Carlson at Fort Knox we did see the United States Bullion Depository, but visitors aren't allowed and they don't give tours. They publicly state there's over 147 million ounces of gold stored there, currently worth over $216 BILLION dollars. Photos aren't allowed, even from the highway, oops! We did get to visit the General George Patton Museum Of Leaders...
Kudos To Us! Last month, I forgot to congratulate ourselves on our 15th anniversary of traveling full time in a motorhome! We sold our house in Arizona (and about everything else) and moved into our motorhome on September 9th, 2004. We've been having so much fun and new adventures with this lifestyle we don't when (or if) we'll ever stop. But who knows what the future holds for us. Tonight, we als...
From the Bay County Fairgrounds, we headed back west to the shore of Lake Michigan at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (National Park), MI. We had reservations at Platte River Campground for an electric site. Generators aren't allowed in this campground, but most sites have electricity. This National Park is known best for the feature which the park is named, the perched sand dunes ...
Before leaving Sault Ste. Marie, we toured the Museum Ship Valley Camp. The Museum Ship Valley Camp was built in 1917 and retired in 1966. After 1966, the 550 foot long freighter was permanently docked on historic Water Street and transformed into a museum. The Valley Camp offers more than just a tour of her deck. Visitors can explore the wheelhouse, sleeping quarters, and her cargo hold which now...
