With emotions running high, we clicked off the last miles of the last leg of our long journey. The Atlanta skyline gleamed in the distance as we motored down I-20 by Six Flags and transitioned to the Atlanta Racetrack, known by some…
Hoppin’ Home
Well, this is it; our last blog from the road. Barring any unforeseen difficulties, we will pull into our driveway in a few hours and begin a new normal. While practically bolting home after leaving Lake Fort Smith State Park, we…
A Fourth With Family
July 4th marks the birth of our great nation. For many, it sparks a family rebirth as relatives not often seen gather together, renewing the ties that bind and forging stronger relationships through shared experiences. Such was our case. Last…
Oklahoma: Better than OK
When living in Altus, Oklahoma, as a youth, our license plate proudly proclaimed “OKLAHOMA IS OK.” How inspiring! I’m sure my Arkansas relatives thought the folks in Oklahoma City approved “OK” as the adjective in the slogan because no Sooner could…

CEDAR disapPOINTment
Well, perhaps that title is a bit harsh, but our time in Sandusky, OH, fell short of our high expectations. Dark clouds gathered as we motored up the causeway to Lighthouse Point Campground on the grounds of Cedar Point amusement park,…
Cuyahoga Valley Cruisers
After a fun stay in Niagara Falls, we said our goodbyes to Nana and Papa, knowing that it would not be too long before we see them back home. Though our time on the road is rapidly drawing to a…
