RV parks that we have stayed in

New Year’s Eve at Gulf Waters

Our home for the winter, the Gulf Waters RV Resort continues to impress us. Thanksgiving dinner exceeded our expectations. The meals served weekdays at the Tiki Bar have been consistently good. The breakfast yesterday was, as one of my neighbors put it, “one of the best breakfasts I have had anywhere.” So we were expecting … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 10: Homosassa FL to Ft Myers Beach FL

214 miles via US 98 (with a truck route detour around Brooksville), I-75 and county roads to the destination. Cumulative tow miles: 2,263. We have done this route several times before, so there were no surprises. US 98 is always a pleasure. I-75 is always busy. But they are both relatively smooth and flat, so … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 9: Carrabelle FL to Homosassa FL

200 miles via US 98 and US 319. Cumulative tow miles: 2,049. This hop was more difficult than it should have been. Yes, the navigation was a breeze: just turn right out of the RV park and keep going until we were within 3 miles of our destination. But is was complicated by the fact … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 8: Douglas GA to Carrabelle FL

196 miles via GA 32, US 221, US 41, GA 31, FL 145, FL 14, I-10, US 19, FL 59, US 98 and US 319. Cumulative tow miles: 1,849. Does that route sound complicated? It was. This was arguably the most complex route we have had on any hop in any of our trips. The … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 7: Charleston SC to Douglas GA

216 miles via US 17, I-85, GA 196, US 84, GA 203 and GA 32. Cumulative tow miles: 1,653. This was a 4-hour trip with a midpoint lunch stop – no fuel, just lunch – mostly on roads that we had not taken before, except for I-95. I was expecting the roads to be narrow, … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 6: Asheville NC to Charleston SC

266 miles via I-26, I-526 (around Charleston) and US-17. Cumulative tow miles: 1,437. This was a pretty straight shot down I-26 to Charleston, with a lunch/refueling stop at the midpoint. The NC portion of I-26 was hilly, but not as hilly as the approach to Asheville from the north. And once it crossed into SC … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 5: Natural Bridge VA to Asheville NC

279 miles via I-81 and I-26. Cumulative tow miles: 1,171. This was another “easy” hop in terms of navigation: down I-81, then down I-26 to Asheville. But it was a long trip, with a refueling stop, and a couple of problems arose. First, some rubber molding on the RV came loose several times, requiring uncomfortable … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 4: College Park MD to Natural Bridge VA

212 miles via I-495 (around DC), I-66 and I-81. Cumulative tow miles: 892. I consider this a “low stress” hop because it was almost entirely on interstate highways. I was worried that the first 50 miles – on the I-495 DC Beltway and out I-66 – would have a lot of stop-and-go traffic, but there … Continue reading »

Apple Island “Resort”

Jett and I spent nearly 6 months this spring/summer/fall at the Apple Island Resort in South Hero, VT, about 20 miles north of Burlington, VT. I previously reported on our first workamping gig and won’t comment further on working there. This is just a review of the campground itself. I have a problem with the … Continue reading »

TTS Hop 2: Oakham MA to East Stroudsburg PA

232 miles via MA 122, MA 31, MA 49, US 20, I-84 and US 209. Cumulative tow miles: 458. We are getting out of New England just in time: the temperature in Oakham dropped to 32 the night before we left and also dropped to 32 in East Stroudsburg, PA, the night we arrived. Frost … Continue reading »
