Yesterday, it threatened to rain all day, but we made it down to Lake Taylor Reservoir around 11 am but by 1 pm it was raining, so we came back. I took Anna and Elsa paddleboarding for a short circle until they would rather fish. So, we brought them back to the beach and Kim…

Day 6 Again: Lakeview Gunnison Campground at Taylor Lake Reservoir, CO
We drove through the mountains, what more can you say. Oh, my goodness, our site is beautiful. Kim and Ryan’s site is gorgeous. We are surrounded by mountains here and as I type this I can look side and see the last of the snow glistening on the tops. We drove through mountains—orange clay, rock…
Day 5 Again: Shady Grove Campground, Seibert, CO
There was a big emphasis on wind farms during our drive in the last part of Kansas into Colorado. Anna would often let us know which side of the road they were on and when they were especially close to the car she would yell, “Woah! That’s a big one!” every time. She asked how…
Day 4 Again: Chapman, Kansas
As we drove through Kansas—and I think we said this last summer too—I realized that it is not as flat as I always think it is. It is rather hilly and this year quite green and lush. This however does not mean I want to stay in Kansas more than one night—the forecast had NO…
Day 3 Again: St. Charles, MO
When driving to Missouri we realized a wonderful shift in temperature. Nashville’s 93 degrees was decreased by 13 and by the time we stopped for gas halfway it was a high of 80, and that felt cold. We stopped for gas again before we landed at Sundermeier RV Park, and picked up some bleach—we keep…
Day 2 Again: Nashville and Mystery Dinner Theatre
Last night we stayed at Nashville RV Resort and Cabins in Tennessee. It is right off the bypass highway in Nashville. Their booking website is the same as the KOA about a mile down the road so I thought maybe they were a KOA but they said they are a sister site and use the…
Day 1 Again: And We’re Back On the Road Again!
We’re back! I guess I’ll start with a brief life update on the family. We have settled in a house with a pool in Central Florida since we landed here near Keith’s parents. The girls and I did Florida Virtual School for the fall and then went back to in-person in January. It was a…
Day 50 – Mt. Dora, Florida, and visiting with Keith’s parents!!
And the anxiety of Covid is back in effect. The new Delta wave is here in Florida almost more than anywhere and I’m sorry to say that the whirlwind of our little safe camper bubble is gone with the advent of breakthrough cases and the uncertainty of the transmittable viral load of the vaccinated. We…
Day 49 – Leaving Crooked River State Park and heading to Mt. Dora, FL
Headed to Florida…finally! After several Covid-related decisions and detours to our initial plans we were packing up early to get out quickly but the day had other plans for us. We were out of our spot by 9:30 am and heading to the dump station. Luckily, it rained while we were at the dump station…
Day 48 – Crooked River State Park, GA
It threatened to rain today, so we started a marathon Golf card game until Leona got bored and then walked to the big playground and Wildlife Lookout Tower. We saw a gopher tortoise along the way! I thought it was a statue because it hadn’t moved since my morning walk with Goat Dog and we…
