We spent the last 5 nights in Fredericksburg, Texas a town founded by German settlers in the 1800s. We visited the area a couple of years ago, but only for an afternoon, as we were on a day trip out of San Antonio. We decided to return for a longer stay to explore the Nimitz WWII Pacific War Museum and enjoy some of the wineries in the area. It took a day and a half for Charlie and I to…
Galveston was not in our original trip plan. However, once we learned that friends of ours, Jon and Cathy Kling (www.rvgreenboard.com), were going to be at the Jamaica Beach RV Park for the month of January and that Jon would be willing to build me some new cabinets in our RV, we headed that way. Jon converted 5 paneled spaces to cabinets, giving me a ton of more storage space. I’m quite excited that he was able to do this,…

The food was fairly good and the local atmosphere of the restaurant was great. In the…

Back in the day Indians, slave traders, soldiers and settlers traveled along a similar route. We have travelled on different sections of this road, from Nashville to Jackson, at various times. It is always an enjoyable and peaceful ride. Often…
It is hard to believe that it has been nearly 10 months since our last road trip. That’s not to say that we have not utilized our RV during that timeframe. Upon returning from our Winter 2018 road trip we headed up to our home base resort in Lake Toxaway, NC; Mountain Falls Luxury Motorcoach Resort (MF) (http://www.mtn-falls.com/ ). We absolutely love MF. We have made so many wonderful new friends there and the surrounding lush mountainous area will take us…
