Passing time while traveling — While on the road, I enjoy painting during free time. Because all that is needed is a rock, paint and a brush it is an excellent activity to pass the hours as we relax at our campsite. The process is simple, and anyone can accomplish this simple craft project. Numerous…

She wants it all at the same time — Dagney is the living example of the cliché; the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, a saying that is meant to be figurative but in this picture is quite literal. While walking through the RV parks during our travels, it is understood we will encounter…

My favorite RV stay so far — I feel apprehensive even sharing this because I don’t want it to be booked solid the next time I wish to make a reservation. However, if I plan to write an RV travel blog then I most share. I actually heard about Fortuna De Oro RV Park from a reader…

How to brush the demons out of your dog — An observer would think I use the dog brush to beat Dagney.
