Finally, another GSLL Roundup we could attend. Scott hosted a van drive in movie theater experience in Lakeland, FL, and we attended. I went in the wrong entrance and had to finagle the van past a check-in booth overhang without catching the AC unit on the roof, and was successful! We couldn’t socialize too much… Continue reading Drive-in Movie : February 18, 2022

Van Down By The River : February 8, 2022
Yep, we became the SNL phrase. And it was fantastic. We took down the fence and gate between the house and carport. With the lightning struck tree gone, it was easy-peasy to pull the van into the back yard. And thus, we truly began living in a van down by the river and it was… Continue reading Van Down By The River : February 8, 2022
Macerator : February 01, 2022
I was really missing my view of the water while being camped out in the front yard. I had the brilliant idea to relocate my tent to the top of the carport. Not so brilliant, actually. The roof was lumpy and had weak spots, and it was rather precarious, not to mention having to climb… Continue reading Macerator : February 01, 2022
Tiny House Expo : January 30, 2022
A Facebook ad popped up for a Tiny House Expo in Pinellas Park, so we took a day to go visit. We had become Harvest Host members and I found a HH bar in downtown St. Pete I was able to make a reservation for. The deal with Harvest Hosts, at least at the time,… Continue reading Tiny House Expo : January 30, 2022
Tampa RV Super Show : January 21, 2022
Remember the Travato Owners and Wannabes group I mentioned a fellow traveler had referred me to? Well, I had joined the group immediately after. It became a wealth of information on “mods”, hacks, storage solutions, system information and ideas, many of which I applied to our van. I had also been more avidly following Go… Continue reading Tampa RV Super Show : January 21, 2022
Lightning Strike : January 10, 2022
Still set up in the front yard and with the holiday break over, I had returned to working in the tent. A thunderstorm rolled through early in the afternoon. Suddenly a bolt of lightning blinded me as a thunderclap boomed simultaneously. It was so violent, I actually screamed. That had to have hit close. Once… Continue reading Lightning Strike : January 10, 2022
Clearwater : January 8, 2022
The following weekend, we drove up to Clearwater to visit my childhood best friend. If Riley fits, she sits!
Ft. Lauderdale : January 2, 2022
A good friend of ours from KT’s childhood visited a friend in Ft. Lauderdale on the other Florida coast, so we found a nearby campground and drove over to visit. We noticed most of the RVs in the campground had Quebec tags and looked pretty permanently installed. Researching more, I realized you could permanently rent… Continue reading Ft. Lauderdale : January 2, 2022

Key West : December 2021
We took a little getaway to the Keys. Gorgeous! On the way, we made a reservation (free) at a South Florida Water Management District campground near Lake Okeechobee. Then we continued on to Geiger Key Marina, RV Resort & Fish Camp on the key just before Key West. It was amazing. We backed right up… Continue reading Key West : December 2021
