American Pine Nuts- did you know?
Cedar City, Utah —a one-night stop Very busy city and RV parks, could only book one night but boy did I learn a lot. Not as dangerous as Pamplona and the bulls, Not as quirky as the Cow Bingo in Cottage Grove, Oregon, but we are sorry to miss the Sheep Parade down the main […]

So lest anyone think that RV’ing does not include daily exercise, I report our 3.5 mile walks the last 2 days and a photo of Roy’s inventive use […]

We have had some including no campsites in Gatlinburg TN area; bumper to bumper traffic in Pigeon Forge; and staying overnight in the Visitors Parking […]
