Florida in February – Fort Meyers, Part One
February 6 – 20 We’d be camping the next three nights at Pine Island outside of Fort Meyers, a drive of less than three hours and so, with some time to kill we decided to check out Ybor City, a historic neighborhood located just northeast of downtown Tampa. Founded in the 1880s by Vicente Martinez-Ybor […]
Florida in February – Tampa, Part Two
February 6 – 20 Our last day in the Tampa area would be a full one starting with the 60-minute drive to the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. Located on the downtown waterfront near 5th Avenue Southeast, Bayshore Drive, and Dan Wheldon Way, it houses the largest collection of Dalí’s works outside Europe. The […]

Set inside the State Park, the spring is one of the largest in the world, discharging […]

The biggest issue in staying dry inside a tent, outside of the obvious leaks, is condensation. A completely waterproof tent prevents water from entering, but can also keep […]
South East Spring Swing, Tallahassee, Part One
March 31 – April 3 With rain forecast for the morning we again awoke early, broke camp quickly, and stopped for breakfast after getting on the road. The nearest option was a place we stop at infrequently but enjoy each time we do which is the Cracker Barrel chain. We’ve eaten with these folks […]
Outer Banks and More, Fernandina Beach
June 11-14 It took a bit of time navigating on local two lane roads to reach Interstate 95 for our 3 ½ hour drive south to Fernandina Beach. Once on the highway we made good time until we hit multiple sets of driving rainstorms so fierce we, and many others on the road were forced […]
