I got back into making ‘egg bites’ again on this trip. This time with the last of a slice of ham, some asparagus tips and cheddar cheese. So breakfast was egg bites with my homemade bran muffins. This gorgeous morning bodes well for a hot day. We still have Brunswick itself to prowl around soContinue reading “Day 6 – Blythe Island, SC; Brunswick, SC”

Day 5 – Blythe Island, St. Simons island, GA
Today we decided to explore St. Simons Island, a historic location about 30 minutes east. This whole area is lowlands estuaries that form the barrier islands to the east. The intercoastal waterway running the length of the eastern part of the US goes through here. We did this trip by boat from Charleston, SC toContinue reading “Day 5 – Blythe Island, St. Simons island, GA”
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 20 | Yellowstone, NP
It’s hard to believe that just a week ago I was complaining about the 100F heat. This morning in West Yellowstone it is a foggy 32F with frost. Winter clothes have replaced summer clothes. We are out in search of those elusive mysterious animals that are usually in great abundance. West Yellowstone is right atContinue reading “Day 20 | Yellowstone, NP”
