Off Grid Living With Solar Power, How Our Dual Powered Camper Works – Day 165

The dual power capabilities of our T@B 400 nuCamp camper have been nothing short of a life saver on this trip. In fact, they have really made road life unbelievably easy. That was never more evident over the course of the last four days, as we made our way across the panhandle of Florida – […]

Tumble Farms – A 10-Acre Dream In The Making, Day 164

Today we found ourselves reminiscing about our little farm back in Ohio as we settled in for the night at Tumble Farms. We were invited to park our camper in the center of Nick and Maureen’s 10-acre farm for the night, on our travels through Gainesville, Florida. Little did we know, after arriving there, we […]

Spending The Night Camping With A Few Funny Fainting Goats – Day 163

We certainly added a new camping experience to our trip with tonight’s stay at a fainting goat farm in Florida! And to be completely honest, we loved absolutely every second of it! When Mary happened to find the Golden Acres Ranch in Monticello, Florida on the list of Harvest Hosts sites, we knew we had […]

Seaside, Florida – A Surreal Community Like No Other, Day 162

Today we found ourselves on the streets of Seaside, Florida. And I have to admit, we walked around this beautiful community in a state of perplexity. It truly was a surreal feeling as we pulled down street of scenic 30A. We had already made a trip to Destin. So we decided to head further east […]

Enjoying The “Squeaky” White Sand Beaches of Destin, Florida – Day 161

If there is one place we fell in love with a few years back while visiting, it was Destin, Florida. Prior to leaving the 9 to 5 daily routine, I was fortunate enough to have the difficult “work” task of heading to Destin for a convention. I still remember the exact works Mary uttered when […]

Pensacola, Florida – America’s First Settlement, Day 160

Today we said goodbye to Alabama and then crossed over the state border into Pensacola, Florida. Although both of us have spent quite a bit of time in Florida over the years, this is one city that neither of us had been to before. So we decided to take a little time out of our […]

Our 5 Biggest Bloopers And Blunders Of The Trip So Far – Day 159

When it comes to making a few bloopers and blunders, we certainly can’t say we’ve escaped without a few along the way. All in all, this trip has gone about as smoothly as we could have ever hoped for. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t made a few mistakes along the tour’s path. Some totally […]

Orange Beach, Alabama – A Sunny Day Spent On The Gulf Coast, Day 158

Today we took advantage of a bright and sunny day and headed to Orange Beach, Alabama. This beach is one of the most-visited and developed beach resort towns in Alabama. And it is considered a twin coast city of Gulf Shores. Both are located about 1 hour outside of Mobile. However, Orange Beach is located solely […]

The Story Behind The Trip – The Power Of Doing What You Love! Day 157

So just what exactly is the story behind the trip? The question comes up often whenever we meet someone out on the road. In fact, usually, at least a few times every single day. “How did the idea for this trip come to you – and how did you two plan it and pull it […]

Battleship Memorial Park – Touring A Battleship and Submarine, Day 156

Battleship Memorial Park, located in Mobile, Alabama was founded as a memorial park that honors all veterans, of all wars.  And when we found out that you can tour both a Battleship and Submarine that was involved in World War II, we jumped at the chance. So we drove down to Mobile Bay today to […]
