From an RV standpoint, Savannah was an odd stop, especially while dry camping during this portion of the trip. The low hanging tree branches were, at times, nerve racking. The streets are narrow, but clearly marked as to weather or not big vehicles were allowed. We began to get more …
Looks like it took me as long to post about Florida as it did to explore Florida. There was so much that we did. While the state in and of itself is interesting, it’s not a place I would settle down. If I were a billionaire, I would own some …
Florida City, Aptly named as it is the southernmost city on the peninsula of Florida. Beautiful weather and amazing rain storms. We found a small RV park that was reasonably priced (the only one in the area for under $50 a night). With the cost of pulling the RV …
With Florida being a peninsula it seems funny to break it up in to so many pieces, but there are some very distinct areas. Some are well groomed, some are wild. Most have water somewhere. But the vegetation and people change as you travel so it’s worth seeing as much …

We spent almost a month in Florida waiting for it to warm up enough to travel north without running into too many freezes. We took the time to drive both the gulf and the Atlantic coasts and all the way down to the keys. We even decided to skip the …
When we stopped in Mobile, the intent was to stay for a night or two at most, and maybe see a parade. During our first parade we talked to several locals and non-local residence about Mardi Gras and learned more about Mardi Gras meant in Mobile. After being enlightened we …
When we crossed over to Mississippi we decided to go off the beaten path of I10 and down the coastal road. We didn’t realize that this would turn into a 3 day tour of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It was a worthy tour. We spent our first day beach hopping …
Louisiana When heading to Louisiana we expected loud cajuns with boisterous personalities. Maybe a little back woods, maybe a little er… red neck. What we found is that there is a wide mix of Cajun, and Creole in this area. There were a few loud boisterous cajus with thick sharp …
