Day 4 – Blythe Island, Brunswick, GA

We have booked 4 nights in this campground. We are reasonably close to historic locations nearby and will explore them tomorrow and Thursday. Today we decided to stay in camp, the first time we have done so with this vehicle. The campground is beautiful, situated on the South Brunswick River it also has a smallContinue reading “Day 4 – Blythe Island, Brunswick, GA”

Day 3 – Yemassee, SC to Blythe Island (Brunswick, Ga)

Last start this morning as we don’t have far to drive. Tasks before heading out included final dewinterizing, tank flushing, and more system checks. All in good working order. We spent the morning in Beaufort walking along the port and strolling the shaded streets. Azaleas are in bloom here. We have been here several timesContinue reading “Day 3 – Yemassee, SC to Blythe Island (Brunswick, Ga)”

Day 2 – Roanoke Rapids to Yemassee, SC

We continue to be impressed with our van. Using only a small electric heater ( the installed propane furnace is too noisy and why use your own propane if you don’t have to anyway), and a little bit of judicious insulation with a towel at the bottom of a leaky door, and our privacy curtainsContinue reading “Day 2 – Roanoke Rapids to Yemassee, SC”

Day 1. Doylestown to Roanoke Rapids, NC

This will be a short entry as it is just a travel day. We left home in below freezing weather and a lot of wind. Our biggest traffic hurdles so close to home are getting around the triumvirate cities in our path south: Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wasington, DC. It’s Saturday on a long weekend butContinue reading “Day 1. Doylestown to Roanoke Rapids, NC”

2022 February – Escaping the cold – and the house

February 19, 2022, the 25th anniversary of our move from Montreal. Cold weather and Covid-19 have kept us cooped for most of the winter and the van was looking a little forlorn parked in the driveway. With a weekly run and an occassional top up from the trickle charger, the battery system is in goodContinue reading “2022 February – Escaping the cold – and the house”

Day 33 | Port Huron, MI to Komoka, ON

This is the last official day of our trip west. Once we cross over into Canada 🇨🇦 the next week is family time. It is wet and foggy this morning, the only time we have set up and dismantled in rain. The campsite was muddy yesterday and not wanting to mess up the van atContinue reading “Day 33 | Port Huron, MI to Komoka, ON”

Day 32 | Ludington, MI to Port Huron, MI

This morning is cloudy and misty. The view is the worst we’ve had so far, that being the maintenance yard of the campground. It was also noisy with later than usual large group campfires and it was a Saturday night. Oh well, it was only a place to put up for the night. The blackContinue reading “Day 32 | Ludington, MI to Port Huron, MI”

Day 31| Manitowac, WI to Ludington, MI

Today is going to be an interesting one with a very different pace and set of activities. We are definitely in return mode now but the next 3 days will be determined by another force. Pretty morning again but with a threat of rain so everything outside was packed up as soon as we gotContinue reading “Day 31| Manitowac, WI to Ludington, MI”

Day 30 | Hudson, WI to Manitowac, WI

This is a longish travel day as we cross WI to Manitowac for the ferry across Lake Michigan to Ludington, MI. Hard to believe it is October 1st already. We were up and out of the campsite by 8:30 but, for the first time on this entire trip, there was a lineup for ‘dump andContinue reading “Day 30 | Hudson, WI to Manitowac, WI”

Day 29 | Glyndon, MN to Hudson, WI

We had a little bit of rain over night that provided some soothing pitter patter. Fortunately we had put everything inside except for the outdoor mat. Another beautiful day. We drove south towards Fergus Falls through more light rain with a double 🌈 as a reward. Minnesota is much greener than the Dakotas and moreContinue reading “Day 29 | Glyndon, MN to Hudson, WI”
