I have not checked in quite awhile. I think the last time I posted we were in Yellowstone. Made it up to Montana, to visit relatives then into North Dakota went to Teddy Roosevelt NP and then had to make it back to Indiana for some repairs. Got it all fixed up and went to Michigan to the UP and Mackinaw Island. Then across to NY state and then spent a Month in Maine.... Back to visit the kids and grands in NJ for a few weeks then down the coast to Cape May, Ocracoke Island, Charleston then Savanah. Shot over to Atlanta (well the outskirts) to visit he other Kid and grands Then off to where we are now Perdido Key in Florida have been here almost a month we leave on the 15th. Off to Manatee springs for a few weeks then to Fort DeSoto State park for a few weeks then the Keys for a week then up near Cape Canaveral for the rest of the winter. Whew I’m exhausted just typing all that! I need a beer!

I was out there this past summer. Did not camp there but took a drive out there in the Jeep. I think I have some video, let me look and if I find it I will post a link. It is an awesome place to boondocks as far as location there were a lot of people out there. Some big 5er’s and some big MH’s too along with smaller rigs.

I know this might be too late but I have one and like it very much.

Congratulations! Full time life is waiting for you! I’m having a great time and I’m sure you will too.

It was great! Could have spent 2 weeks there...we will be back. Now in Yellowstone. Have to get out early here to beat the crowds. But I am an early riser so all is well!

Just checkin’ in. Having a great time in Grand Teton NP! Staying at Gros Ventre CG and it is very nice!

Now that is funny! We watched from the KOA in Bar Nunn. Was a nice display. Great view and our little dog was fine, only because they were not that loud from where we are. If we were back in Jersey...he would be going bonkers!

Hey I hear ya! We are moving a little too fast for sure. But I’m sure we will slo down. Right now in Casper Wyoming for a few days. Saw the fireworks tonight right from the campground. Had a fun time at Devils Tower and did some hiking. We will leave here on the 6th and head to Grand Teton NP.

Just checking in. After leaving Iowa we arrived at a COE park in Missouri, Long Shoal. Its on the Harry S. Truman reservoir in Warsaw. Nice COE park with a spot right on the water. We have stayed in 3 COE parks and all have been excellent! The last one was Left Tailrace CG in South Dakota, right on an island in the Missouri river. Super place to stay. Now we are in the Black hills after staying in the Badlands for 3 days. We are here for awhile because there is a lot to see and do. Mount Rushmore, Custer State park, Wind Cave National Park, Hill City, Deadwood. So much. Then its off to Devils Tower and then...not sure yet? Maybe The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone or head north to Montana and Glacier? Having fun and enjoying this beautiful country we live in.

Welcome Louise and Bob! Congrats and welcome!! We are about 2 weeks in and having a blast so far. Traveling too fast but hey that’s the newness and I’m sure we will slow down. Right now we are in Clear lake Iowa.

Just had my first Harvest Hosts experience and if they are all half as good as this I’ll be one Happy Camper! We just arrived at our first HH. Ertel Cellars Winery and Bistro in Batesville Indiana. And it is exceptional! The site we were given is in the middle of the vineyard and we are alone...no people no other cars no houses just trees and grapevines. There is only a space for one and we are it! We ordered food from the bistro and it was awesome. And bought and drank a bottle of their wine and it was awesome. So...If you are in Indiana and need a place to spend the night Ertel Cellars Winery is not to be missed! Ertel Cellars Winery by Craig Schriever, on Flickr

Just an update. Closed on the house on the 5th. Have spent the last week at a CG not too far from our former house. Just getting organized and relaxing from the craziness of selling and moving the last few weeks. Leaving here Friday the 12th and heading to Missouri to visit a friend an then off to South Dakota to see the Badlands and Custer SP, Devils Tower, Mt Rushmore and all the things to see and do in the area. Then...not sure yet!

Well if my sale is any indication you only have a short time left in your house! Mine sold in 2 days, 7 offers and all over asking price. So I'm pretty sure those margaritas will be mixed shortly!

I know the feeling. We missed out on the Class of 2019 graduation. Also had to delay by a few years our get away date to care for my in-laws. Your time will come and I hope your MIL gets well soon and you are back on track.

Closing was pushed back a week so we close on the 5th. Out on the 4th. Still kinda tryin' to get organized! Going to spend the first week in a local campground so we can get the rig organized and figure out where to next. Quite hectic and pretty exciting!
