a lot of october 2019 was spent in acadia and shenendoah national parks. but here’s what we were doing when we weren’t out in the wilderness. well, firstly, i spent a lot of time meal prepping and cleaning for the acadia trip. the rv was pretty gross after a long time of being unoccupied, so […]
jamboree
shenendoah national park.part two.
our second full day in shenendoah was beautiful. unfortunately, so overnight wind and rain had knocked a LOT of leaves off the trees. there was a distinct difference in fall foliage between the two days. on tap for the day was a short little hike that derek discovered that took us up to bearfence mountain. […]
acadia. day seven.all the maine foods and last hurrah.
sigh. our last day in acadia. we had done most of the things we wanted to do. it was rainy and cold. our dietary restrictions had been lifted. and we were ready to have a maine themed day of feasting. first up, jordan’s restaurant. it is one of the top reviewed places to partake in […]
acadia. day six.ocean path, part two. (and yummy food).
day six at acadia kicked off pretty low key. we lounged around the camper for awhile being quite lazy, deciding what to do with our day. on the previous day, when i was riding the bus back to camp after my precipice hike, we passed thunder hole, where there was loud claps of waves crashing […]
acadia. day five.precipice and general maintenance.
on our first trip to acadia, i was too chicken to hike the precipice trail. but, after making our way around the country, doing more strenuous and dangerous hikes, and consulting with folks who have done the same, i felt confident in my precipice hiking abilities. so, on day five, i ditched the fam and […]

easter eggs. 2019.
back home, in north carolina, we settled into our “local” campground, while we looked for a house. it was sort of whirlwind, so i’m sure my timeline might get out of whack, but i do know it was almost easter. so, we obviously had to dye eggs. we may have picked up one or two […]
general florida february stuff.
on february 1st, we concluded our time at the “happpiest place on earth” and headed west to st. petersburg. but first. we needed breakfast. which was more like brunch. this is what our crew looks like on the morning after four straight days at disney…. our first stop after disney was a quick weekend in […]
everglades. anhinga trail and miscellaneous.
our campground in everglades was sort of in the middle-ish of the park, at a no hookup site in long pine key campground. thankfully the power of the sun helped us to not have to run our generator too much, but the extreme heat and mugginess sometimes necessitated a bit of air conditioning and generators […]
