 ​This is it!  We've sold our house and made the plunge into full-timing :) After living in our

home for 33 years we've managed to downsize to our "Cassie" and "Mac" (Move Along

​ Cassidy-truck).  We hope you enjoy our adventures along with us.

After Ft Davis we stopped overnight at a Cracker Barrel in Las Cruces, NM, where we did not get  a picture.
Next we traveled to Ponderosa, NM, where we stayed overnight at The Ponderosa Valley Winery (another Harvest Host).
Picture
Picture
Picture
I made a couple more friends at this stop :)
Picture
Picture
We've stayed here several times at Sky Ute Casino outside Ignacio, CO.
Picture
We left Sky Ute for a Cabela's in Grand Junction, CO.  We went there to have the springs on our trailer upgraded to a heavier duty set as there have been reports on the lighter ones breaking.  It's hard for me to believe I didn't get any pictures of that project :(  I did get a picture at the checkout counter after breakfast in town, this was next to the register.
Picture
From Cabela's to our next stop we passed Hole N The Rock. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
I doubt this vehicle has ever had a flat tire :)
Picture
Picture
Picture
On the way to Monticello, UT.

Windwhistle CG in BLM land around Monticello, UT

Picture
Picture
Here at Sierra Blanca Brewing Company (Harvest Host) in Moriarty, NM.  Plenty of wind here!
Picture
Parked next to us...his tow vehicle is a little overkill, IMO.  I guess it beats pulling that car behind his trailer.
Picture
One night at Harry McAdams RV Park...a city park in Hobbs, NM.
Picture
Another 1 nighter at Richard's Park, a city park in Brady TX...long enough to clean off some more bugs :)
Picture
Picture
Here we are at the Pineknot Rally in Grapeland, TX, next to the Sunshine Inn...our daily gathering spot.
Picture
Karaoke Night, my one and only attempt at this quite humbling activity :(
Picture
Picture
 Wendy is catching a ride on what should have been a routine train ride around the park.  Or so I thought!
Picture
A little shaken up, she heads straight over to settle up the score with me!
Picture
Our next stay was at Sugartown Sweets and Treats, an Harvest Host in DeRidder, LA.  They freeze dry just about anything there is to eat.
Picture
Getting my "dog fix" :)
Picture
On to Lake Mary Crawford Campground in Monticello, MS.  (one night)
Picture
Picture
Wind Creek Casino RV Park in Atmore, AL.  (one night)
Picture
Hodges Vineyards and Winery, an HH in Camp Hill, AL.  (one night)
Picture
Acres and acres of Muscadine vines!
Picture
One last stop before "home".  This was Five Hives and Vines...another HH in Statesboro, GA.  The vines were still in the works but he had plenty of honey.
Picture
Finally back to Gwyn ad Veston's place in SC.  Nice pool they added since we were here last.
We'll take a rest here for a few weeks!!!
Picture
A quick visit with "our girls" at Pinnacle Bank.  They have been doing an AMAZING job taking care of us while we're away from SC.
Picture
A visit to Gina and Mike's home for a cookout and birthday party.
Picture
We still have a storage unit but we've pared it down to a 5x5 :)
Picture
A wonderful Christmas with family at Connie's to end our year!!!!!

New Post...

After purchasing a new laptop and a different photo editing program I'm finally "back in the saddle"... so to speak.  So here's a massive catch-up attempt from my last travel post while in Maine, in early August, to now in Ohio, post-Christmas.
BIG BREATH
We left Grand Isle for 2 Knights Brewery, a Harvest Host site.
Picture
The owner likes to tell the town's history every night.  Two Knights Brewery is named in honor of the two Sangerville Maine-born men that went on to be Knighted by the royal family of England.
Picture
The next day we traveled to Bragg Farm Sugar House in East Montpelier, Vermont.  I found a tasty syrup I tried in my baked bean recipe. :)
Picture
Picture
Here's our next stop the following day at Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley Railroad, a Harvest Host in Milford, NY.
Picture
Picture
Picture
After 1 night in Milford we stopped at a casino in Graniteville, PA.
Picture
We then stopped for over a week at Robert W Craig CG, a COE park in Keiser, WV.  This was a nice break from the 1 nighters and the weather was great!
Picture

More local wildlife...below :)
Picture
Picture
For you, Connie.
Picture
One night at a Mardi Gras Casino parking lot next to a rig that could hold hold our entire rig in its trailer!
Picture
Another week stay. This one at Cumberland Point COE in Nancy, KY.
Picture
Picture
Birds were always checking out my cooking.  Wendy hinted that my cooking is for the birds!!!
Picture
Picture
One of my favorites...a Chevy towing a Ford.  My brother, Don, would have appreciated this one :)
Picture
Rounding out August was our stay at Pitchers Paradise, a Boondockers Welcome in Lowbelville, TN.
Picture
An open house display of an RV in town...REALLY?...an upstairs?
Picture
The beginning of September found us in Mississippi at Tunica Resorts...again.  This is almost a home away from home for us :)
Picture
Glad we weren't golfing this day.  I might have mistaken this for a golf ball :)
Picture
We went back to the mother ship in Hohenwald, TN for our annual trailer maintenance checkup.  We stayed again with Melissa (owner) at Meriwether's Retreat B&B.
Picture
While we were at the service department waiting on the finishing touches Wendy felt and heard a soft pop in her pocket.  She had a small flashlight in her pocket and one of its batteries exploded.  Glad it didn't catch fire!
Picture
After Hohenwald, we traveled back to Tunica for a night before heading on to Edgewood CG, a COE park in Bismarck, AR. 
Picture
Picture
It was a very relaxing stay by DeGray Lake.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Here we are for 1 night at a Boondockers Welcome site (Howell's Acres) in Van, TX.  The owner restores classic motorcycles.
Picture
Live Oakridge COE in Belton, TX.
Picture
Picture
We stayed a few days at San Angelo State Park.
Picture
Picture
This is a boat ramp to nowhere...severe drought has had a grip for a long time.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Tucked away in our cubbyhole for our annual Javelina Roundup gathering at Davis Mountain SP in Ft Davis, TX.  Again....not a Javelina in sight for the entire stay :( 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Nearby MacDonald Observatory offers nice views during their nightly star parties.
Picture
You've got to watch your step on this trail!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Wild, native watermelons?........NOT!
Picture
Our host, Frank, organizes and leads our rally each year.  We greatly appreciate his efforts!
Picture
Here are a few pictures of our daily breakfasts...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Of Frank's many talents, writing and reciting cowboy poems proves to be a crowd pleaser.
Picture
Next week we'll finish up with the rest of this year.  Currently we're in Ohio enjoying Christmas with Wendy's family :)
