Rolling With Kelly & Charlie

We left the Atlanta, GA area today, heading to Michigan. Kelly’s daughter, Stephanie, is graduating from Wayne State’s Physician Assistant program. We’re taking a bit of a diversion though, through Washington DC. Our first stop is in Shelby, NC at Owl’s Eye Vineyard. We joined Harvest Host (www.harvesthost.com) when we got our RV, with the expectation that we would love to stay at wineries on our travels. Harvest Hosts provides lists of wineries and farms which allow RVs to boondock…

Bald Ridge Creek Campground is another US Army Corp of Engr. Campground. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, we really love these campgrounds.

There is a historical museum on-site, covering Crockett’s life. It…

The nice thing about that was the constant shade. The bad thing…

On March 3rd, 2016 Charlie and I headed to Red Bay, AL to watch the RV be built. We spent a week there and was amazed at how quickly the unit transitioned from an empty frame to a full fledge coach. While in Red Bay, we were told by a number of people that a visit to Coon Dog Cemetery was a must. I guess it is a place that you have to see to believe. We also took a day…
