Southfork Colorado Trip – Alabama to Mississippi
Heading out the door to begin a long awaited trip is always exciting. We had planned to visit our son and family in Colorado this past Christmas and then Snowmageddon happened.

Loki Lunch at Wind Creek State Park
Cabin fever is real, folks! After spending 2+ weeks cooped up and freezing at the farm, we had to get out for a day trip to clear out the brain fog we were both experiencing. It was finally above 50°F outside, so we decided to test out some new audio/video equipment and head to the…

A Week Around Florida: Istokpoga to St. Augustine Day 6

A Week Around Florida: Homestead to Okeechobee Day 5
On Day 5 we started off at our staging ground parking lot campsite near Homestead, which is the Miccosukee Casino parking lot. If you missed the update on Day 3, this is where we stayed on the way down to the keys, mainly because this is a pretty isolated area west of Miami, but they…

A Week Around Florida: Key West to Homestead Day 4
Our fourth day on this circumnavigation trip took us from Key West to Homestead, Florida. We began the day, however, waking up to a beautiful sunrise at Bahia Honda State Park.

The day started from the parking lot of the Miccosukee Casino located in Homestead, just west…
