Jan 19, 2012 - southern bound again

Late start again...this boy of mine is already on west coast time...he sleeps till 10AM then wont go to bed till...well...too late. Going to try and correct that today. Chilly - no - COLD start today. Got the rest of the shopping done for a while...upgraded the TV and various supplies now off to Hungry Mother State Park only about 4.5 hours travel time but need to get it our timing together. Family mealtime in the RV no more of this dining out business! Beautiful scenery thru shenandoah today. Fields, mountains, farms and snow flurries...

Nov 4, 2007 - Shenandoah National Park, VA

Fall is quickly fading away, but we are still trying to enjoy every last minute we can. This weekend, my friends and I went camping in Shenandoah National Park. The leaves were a bit past peak, but the park was still beautiful nonetheless. The nights are starting to get colder and we were thrilled that the park just lifted their fire ban- I think that we would have froze without having a good fire going. We did an 8-mile hike on Saturday through White Oak Canyon which gave us all a good appetite to enjoy all of the food and drink we had...

Oct 22, 2007 - Shenandoah National Park

Today we drove the Blue ridge mountains through Shenandoah National Park. The trees are turning color. Awesome sight. We did a 1.5 mile hike to a water fall that did not have much water coming. We then went out for Chinese food to celebrate Al's 65th birthday, which is actually tomorrow.

Sep 5, 2007 - Virginia, Shenandoa Valley

So we left the campground with our maps in hand. I had spent the early morning planning our trip for the fllowing few days. Our next destination shouldn't take us too long and besides we were ready to travel again ....but first we must get lost in Charleston for the third time. It was inevitable that we would - get lost that is. How do you find a Walmart without a map or any clue as to where it is. We went one way and then followed the directions of someone in a car next to us in the opposite direction and eventually found an area that had...

Sep 4, 2007 - Sheandoah

We walked through the Shenandoah Caverns today! They were so beautiful! Next to it was the retirerment for old floats haha, I was all over those. Then when we got to the big yellow barn, which was a bee hive place, Fran and I did a scavenger hunt and got prizes! We split up with them from there and dad and I went through Shenandoah National Park. Now we are about half-way through the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are headed tpo Georgia to see the carvings of General Lee and um, the other guy, you probably know though.

Apr 6, 2006 - Moved In

It has been a lot of work, but we are finally moved in to our RV. The past week has been full of trip after trip from the townhouse to the barn and RV with furniture and boxes upon boxes of those material things that make up ones life. This morning we were up at 5AM to load the last few items and get out of the house before the painters showed up. Once we arrived at the RV, we have been busy trying to fit everything we think is important to us into the RV cupboards, closets, basement and anyplace there is an opening. I have a feeling some...

May 26, 2005 - Shenandoah National Park Part 2: Corbin Cabin

After writing our entry on Sunday at the Harrisonburg library, we had intended to go to the store and get some food for our nights in the cabin, then head to the cabin before dark. The earliest we could arrive was 3:00. But we got a little distracted, as usual. We had noticed this place called "You Made It" across the street from the library where one can paint your own pottery (plus the Artful Dodger had coffee cups from this place), so we stopped over to check it out. Two hours later we had both learned all of the intricacies of pottery...
