This means that vacationing along the Atlantic Coast or Gulf Coast could be a little more exciting than usual if the conditions are right. However, you should note that the peak of the season is from August through October, but a hurricane can occur at any time. So, what happens when you are at&nbsp.......

Once, when I was young, a squirrel found its way into the living room of our home. Have you ever seen a wild squirrel trapped in a place where it doesn’t want to be? I have never seen anything like it. That little guy was like a furious ping pong ball. I’m pretty sure he covered every inch of the walls. He was all over that room at once, climbing the curtains, .......

Welcome to Part 2 of my accidental series on travel trailer and fifth wheel comparisons. As I’ve said, each has its strong points as well as its not so great features.

When my husband and I were trying to decide what we wanted to live in when we chose to be full-timers, we looked at a lot of RV options.

I love my camera. I don’t mean I really, really like it, no, I adore it. I have a Nikon D3100 that takes great pictures – and it gets used often. I take it everywhere with me, on the trail, when I am riding, even when I do laundry. You never know when you will encounter that next great shot. If you are looking for the perfect camera to capture your next great shot, I have a few recommendations for you. These are the best of the best for when you are hiking or sitting around the ca...

Most settings where you park your RV will include at least a few different forms of wildlife. Our current campground is in a somewhat urban area (we are in a little oasis in the middle of the city) and we still have an abundance of squirrels, raccoons, opossums, foxes, birds, hawks, and bats...

If you spend any amount of time camping in your RV, it is almost certain that you will eventually encounter wildlife. While this can be an awe-inspiring experience and a great photo op, it can also be quite dangerous. However, the danger does not come from the animal, rather from how the hum...
