Hello Charlie = Freedom on the Road!
Meet Charlie, my new tear-drop camper. Charlie is a 2019 T@B 320 S Boondock Edge, manufactured by nuCamp! I’m very excited to introduce this newest member of the blog. I am getting him prepped and ready to travel. With Charlie I expect great FREEDOM on the road while long-distance commuting. This 2019 TAB 320 S tear-drop camper comes loaded with features, its self-contained with a full bathroom and shower, 2-burner stove, and refrigerator.

Roch-cha-cha
Welcome to the “Garbage Plate” capital of the world! Yes, my friends, I’m in Rochester, NY. How did I find myself here? Well, for 2 reasons: first, Rochester is about as close to home as it gets for me, and second, for my son to visit a college. So, many thanks to my nephew who spent his evening showing us around the campus at RIT! The Rochester Institute of Technology has a great reputation and seeing it from the perspective of a recent graduate certainly demonstrates the benefits to prospective students! Through our 2.5 hour and 4 mile tour of campus we travelled all over the campus including academic buildings,…

Hiking Double Falls Loop, Shenandoah National Park
It was blistering hot (93 degrees Fahrenheit), and I thought “now or never!” A person who plans would have started out much earlier in the morning, but I fly more by the seat of my pants. After doing some googling to get an idea of some potential hiking options I settled on the Double Falls Loop. In part my inspiration came from the “10 Must Do Hikes in Shenandoah National Park” posted Johnny Molloy in Virginia’s Travel Blog https://blog.virginia.org/2016/06/must-do-hikes/. I found this guide extremely helpful! So, me being me, I started my 6.7 mile hike at 1:00pm in the afternoon. entering Shenandoah National Park at the South entrance on Skyline…

Traveling to Mountain Country
Hello from Charlottesville Virginia! Early this morning (about 7:30, that is early for me) I headed out toward Charlottesville. This time around I had the pleasure of travelling with my son, Ryan. Our destination…the University of Virginia (UVA)! I’ll be staying in an AirBNB, my first here in Charlottesville. I have to say I am enjoying my most recent stay and I recommend trying out AirBNB on your next adventure, you can reach them here. Ryan will be in an Elite Soccer Camp at UVA for 4 days and I’ll be on my own. So, with Monticello, Shenandoah National Park, and wine country nearby I will have plenty of options…
