RV TRAVEL
Our trip through Florida started in the panhandle in December 2022. From Destin to Tallahassee and then south along the Gulf Coast. We spent all of January and the first week of February in Florida City before heading up the East Coast.
Antique Car Museum in Tallahassee, Florida and is a must-see for any car enthusiast or collector.
Checking out the Flordia State Parks: Henderson Beach and Ochlockonee River.
NATIONAL PARKS & CONSERVATION LANDS
During our month in Florida City, we had two National Parks on either side of us, both short driving distances away. To the west is Everglades National Park and to the east is Biscayne National Park.
We spent a week at the Smokemont Campground in the Great Smoky Mountains during October 2022 to watch the leaves change, and nature did not disappoint!
Check out these pictures of the longest cave system in the world.
Did you know there is a national park with great beaches? While visiting Indiana Dunes National Park, we decided to 1) Hike Cowles Bog Trail, 2) Attend a Ranger talk at the Chellberg Farmhouse, and 3) Relax and enjoy the sunshine at West Beach.
RV LIVING
One of the reasons our blog is so far behind is earlier this year, I started making jewelry, and I love it!
We are now into Year 4 of full-time RV living so here is a summary of some of the more recent changes we've made: Amazon Blink security system, high-powered USB ports in the driver/passenger area, a new kitchen sink and faucet, a 5G/4G LTE MIMO Panel antenna, 960AH LiFePo4 battery bank (in progress), premium sewer hoses, and an upgraded latch for our step drawer.
The roller bar in the slide topper had seized up (the below-freezing temps and wind chill throughout the travel day probably contributed) and it was preventing the slide from extending until the roller bar broke free on one side of the housing.
How to filter non-potable water in an RV? We went with a $79 AquaCera Cerametix replacement filter for our existing canister system in the wet bay.
We celebrated Christmas in the Florida Keys and the highlight was the Alligator Encounter at Florida Keys Aquarium Encounters where we got to pet a little alligator.
