We decided to “get outta Dodge” for a few weeks…meaning “let’s leave our home build and give ourselves and our builder a breather.” It was time to let him do his thing without us underfoot. Our friends Dan & Amy…
Don’t rush!
“Don’t rush!” That’s an ominous title for a blog post. We need to remind ourselves of that a little more often. Rushing can lead to a big OOPS!!!! We arrived at Monahans Sandhills State Park in west Texas with full…
Sticks-and-Bricks Spring 2020
We are finally back in our Sticks-and-Bricks home. Notice I qualified that statement with Sticks-and-Bricks (what homes NOT on wheels are made of), because the Blue Flame is our home also. Our trip home from Arizona back to New York…
Wandering in Arizona

Came for two nights…stayed seven

Georgia “Two Ways”
This post is about Georgia, done “Two Ways”. Two Ways? How so? Way One is CROWDS – Last week we were camping in Perry, Georgia, with 2700 other RVs. Way Two is NO CROWDS – This week we were camping…
Snow to Surf
Yes, we are off on another adventure. The thing about RVs and cold weather is that you have to protect your water, gray and black tanks. You don’t want water to freeze in your water lines. And you definitely don’t…
That’s a Wrap – Fall 2017
As I write this, we are sitting in line at a Speedco (think Jiffy Lube only for BIG trucks) just south of Indianapolis. We’ll get our oil changed, get the RV washed at the Blue Beacon Truck Wash next door,…
