Fall: It's time to ramble on...
Transitions in the RVing life
Currently
Howdy from Eye-dee-hoooh! We're watching fall approach in Island Park, ID, loving this campfire weather. Prior to this summer we'd been off the road for over a year while searching for a new vehicle, then prepping it as well as a newer camper for travel - hence, silence on the blog.

A gem of a campground in Island Park
Buffalo Run RV Park and Cabins
January 2024 update: This campground has changed owners and is now known as Blue Buffalo Resort. The following article is about the former campground. I'll keep the updated article published for the time being, but know that the campground is very different now and under new management. We have not stayed here since it changed hands, so I . . .

The merits of riding slow

We’re back in Georgia and enjoying some very nice fall days, and the opportunity to unwind after several weeks’ travel. We left Island Park seemingly at just the right time: we woke up to a thermometer reading in the high 20s the first day of our trip!

Warm, dry, and almost always sunny
It's summertime in Island Park
Might I introduce you?
It is my great pleasure to (virtually) welcome you to Island Park, Idaho! I'm enjoying a beautiful sunny summer day from the second floor of the Island Park Library. Wide-open windows and two hard-working ceiling fans circulate the fresh mountain air. It's a great setting from which to give you a brief first glance . . .

Radiator fans/Elk City
Hippie buses and bike races
We've done quite a bit of work on the van and finished one very exciting (for us) project in the camper. Today's article will take you through our radiator fan project, and tell you a little about the areas we stayed in when we did the work.

Installation and testing (with pictures)
Since this article is long and picture-heavy, I've published our travel update with pictures in a separate post. A link at the bottom of this post will take you to that article.
Finally!
Our 16’ Casita now has a permanent heater powered by propane and electric.
I hope I can accurately express how amazing it . . .

We made it!
Rock Springs WY to Montpelier ID
We are in Idaho. IDAHO! The state where Dennis has spent the last two summers, the place he's been telling me about since we first started talking. All our travel plans were made with this state in mind. It's very exciting to have crossed the state lines! We have a very few (double digits!!!!) more miles to go . . .
