Fleeting Expressions...Chronicles from the Road

Hello fellow wanderer! As summer nears, the East Coast humidity rises, and while I grumble about the stickiness, I stay enchanted by this region’s layered history. Recently, I visited Boone Hall Plantation, and while the experience was beautiful, it also reminded me how essential it is to engage with the full truth of our past. History isn’t always comfortable, but understanding it helps guide us toward a better future. A perfect spot for dreamy photos or a reflective stroll. 🌳 Avenue of Oaks...

Hello fellow wanderer! Happy June, Reader! The #100daysofsummer has officially begun, which is a significant milestone in RV life. That span of 100 days can make or break you if you depend on campgrounds! It's the busiest time of year, and making campground reservations becomes a bit more challenging. Spending time on the East Coast means less boondocking and more campgrounds for us, but exploring the incredible history makes it all worthwhile! This week, I am excited to share some highlights...

Hello fellow wanderer! I hope you had a wonderful, long weekend and celebrated Memorial Day just as you wanted. This week, I want to share more about my return trip to Old Sheldon Church ruins. Located just outside of Yemassee, SC, it invites visitors to take a quiet walk and immerse themselves in centuries of history. We have been to this area before (back in 2020, yes, during THAT time). While I was able to see the church back then, on this trip, I was treated to a conversation with one of...

Issue 99 • May 21, 2025 Hello fellow wanderer! After a long stretch of (mostly) sunny days in Florida, we hit the road with South Carolina in our sights. RV travel days are a mix of anticipation, planning, and the occasional curveball. This trip gave us a little of everything. Beauty found in the Cracker Barrel parking lot Overnight Stay at the Cracker Barrel We spent a quiet night at the Cracker Barrel in Brunswick, GA. The parking lot was large enough to accommodate quite a few overnighters...

Issue 98 • May 9, 2025 Favorite Photo from Florida! What's up, fellow wanderer? I hope you are enjoying the last bits of spring as temperatures climb across the country. It has been hot and humid in Florida, which is a vast difference from our snowy welcome to the state back in January! Our first Florida Snowbird adventure ends tomorrow as we depart for South Carolina. We are excited to head to a new state and have new adventures. and It's hard to believe we have been circling the central...

Hello fellow wanderer! Our time in Florida is coming to an end, and I think I'm feeling a little sad. We've had some fantastic experiences, and I've checked several items off my bucket list. For the record, though, roseate spoonbills and flamingos will ALWAYS be on the list! The photo above is one of my favorites because I got a close-up of this beautiful and fascinating flamingo. Wildlife refuges and wetlands have been my favorite places to explore, hands down. Last week, I finally made it...

Hello Reader! Last week was both challenging and expensive. We broke a monitor while traveling, discovered my laptop was unrepairable, and had perhaps the most expensive buffet brunch on the planet! A new laptop will arrive next week, and even though all my data is gone, I'm a little excited about setting it up again and reinstalling my programs and photos! Thankfully, I have learned from my previous tech failures, and nearly everything was backed up to the cloud and external hard drives....
