And we off part 2


From Savannah we headed south to Florida. After staying a night at a truck stop (we are legitimate boondockers) went to the Mike Roess Golden Head campground. Enjoyed swimming and meeting very friendly neighbors who invited us to a blue grass event in April. After leaving that campground we did a night of dispersed camping and then stayed a night in the Ocala National Forrest. We got to swim with the alligators in their famous springs and rejuvenated ourselves. 


Then it was off to sleep at a vineyard courtesy of Harvest Host (thank you Canadians that we met in Paris for reminding us about Harvest Host). Dan sacrificed himself to do the wine tasting and Finn had a blast feeding their fish!



On Sunday 3/26/17 Ailish went to her first Mets game with Grandma and cousins. Finn's critique of the game was "too hot and too long". During the game Franklin had a play date with another beagle. 



After the game we headed off to Dupuis Management Area a beautiful and FREE campground. We stayed the night and then it was off to Boyton Beach. We did some of our running around and boondocked at a Farmers market (thanks again Harvest Host). 



Currently off to Marathon in the keys  (listening to Jimmy Buffet as we type this which seems appropriate 😀)

      These signs seemed to be everyone we went swimming. It made us feel safe- no alligators were seen while we were swimming.

Valdez & Haines

Image
---Current location Prescott Valley Arizona--- 8/5 Woke up in Valdez and decided to explore the town after we did some much needed laundry and shopping. We stopped at their Gold Rush Festival which was small and then did a scoot around the town and Marina. After that we decided to head to Dayville Road to do a little fishing for salmon since we had yet to catch any in Alaska. Dan and Finn set out with poles and boy did they have luck. They caught 15 Salmon and certainly could have caught more. It was easy to snag the fish at this location because they spawn back to a hatchery located there. Since we were leaving Alaska in two days and had a freezer full of Halibut we shipped 17 pounds of Pink Salmon to the Worth Family. After a successful fishing afternoon we relaxed at Ruth Pond swimming and playing. We left that evening via the Richardson Highway and started to make our way to Haines to catch our Ferry. We did a quick stop at what we thought was a cave along the highway but turn

Oh Canada

5/1 crossing the boarder (F and A's first trip outside the USA. Crossed @ 9:22 am).  🇨🇦  We are on our way to drop off our RV to Roadtrek in Kitchener ON to finally be fixed (hopefully)!   Stayed in Kitchener Ontario for three nights. We hung out at the hotel, swam, watched cable and ate a really good steak meal. We had the obligatory Tim Hortons and FaceTimed with friends and family.  We also disproved the theory that all Canadians are super nice (met some really grumpy ones in Kitchener). Our RV was at the Roadtrek Manufacturer being fixed during this time. They did right by us they fixed our major problems and even fixed the damage Dan did to the body of the van the first day we got it 😄. Roadtrek even covered our hotel stay we cannot say enough good things about them right now. The afternoon on 5/4 we hit the road again. Plan is back  to the States until we cross to Alaska .  Made it to Michigan the same evening where we slept at a rest stop. We all h

Vancouver & Seattle

---Current location Mesquite NV--- The road to Vancouver & Seattle 8/11-8/15 Disembarked at Prince Rupert on 8/11 and started to make our way south through British Columbia. We knew we needed to make it south for the 21st for the eclipse so we are hauled butt to get to Vancouver and then Seattle. Ended up staying the night in the field of a country music festival that was being held in a town called Terrace. The music wasn't our cup of tea but it was free which gave us time to check out what was happening in town. We stopped at the local senior center for their pancake breakfast the kids were a huge hit and then went to one of the best farmers market we had visited to date. Then it was off to Prince George. In PG we ate some really spicy Indian food (it was nice to have ethnic options again), played in a park and met some very nice Canadians at the dog park. We made our way to Quesnal for the night. What we haven't mentioned so far is that BC is having some horribl
