We are looking for an RV Park/Resort on the west coast of Florida.  Something well maintained, clean, safe and with friendly, responsible staff.  Golf is not required.  A nice clubhouse with activities and a heated pool would be nice.  Any suggestions?

I would love for you all to check out my site and read about our experiences.  It is still in production as I am new to blogging and have to post the last 5 years of our journey so be sure to come back often.  I'd also love to get your feedback as well.

This looks like a fun site - I'm glad to be part of it.

I’m going to spend my holidays with the Amazon Seasonal Camper Program – and you can too!

The Amazon Seasonal Camper Program is ALIVE and BOOMING . They currently have hired TONS of campers like us for the Holiday Season….and want MORE!!!

THEY ARE STILL HIRING!!

So, what is the Amazon Seasonal Camper Program?

To meet customer demand during the holiday shopping season, October through December, they need…

June 4^th – Crazy Horse. Off bright and early to Crazy Horse because this weekend there is a special event—the Volksmarch. Just once a year, Crazy Horse memorial opens up to the Volksmarch and allows visitors to walk up onto this giant sculptor- specifically Crazy Horse’s arm. So here we are along with thousands (as many as 15,000 have participated) hiking the 6.2 round trip trail to Crazy Horse’s arm.  Just imaging thousands of people of all nationalities, ages, and appearances…

June 2^nd – Mt Rushmore. Finally we get to see Mt Rushmore- can’t believe it. Took Iron Mountain Road from south to north and what views! There are three small (no RV’s thru these babies) tunnels blasted through rock with large signs stating “honk horn when approaching”. Let me say they mean – honk the horn!! These are single lane tunnels with significant curves at both ends—so no way could you see if anyone was coming before you enter the tunnel. Better yet- imagine seeing Mt…

June 1^st – Harney Peak hike.  As if yesterday’s hike wasn’t enough,  we decide to do the Harney Peak hike.  Some background: 3.2 miles to the highest point in SD and per the brochure the highest point east of the Rocky Mountain Range.  The brochure also says it is difficult with a strong ascent,  especially the last mile. Again with the definitions- this means that for 2.2 miles you walk uphill at 45 degrees- breathing like a freight train then you have the pleasure of walking 1…

May 31^st – Lover’s Leap – makes you wonder about today’s plans???  Noel wants to do a hike so off we go to what the hiking book says is a beautiful hike. Okay- the good parts of the hike—awesome views almost the entire way,  I was so busy looking all around that I developed stump toe  (think about it—all those tree roots and me not paying any attention.)  Then at the top- here is a giant rock face you can scramble up and look down onto this picturesque valley- so serene and…

May 30^th – Cloudy with slight chance of rain but everything is soooo muddy—so decided let’s go visit a few inside places on our list. So off to Hot Springs  SD to the Mammoth Site- there are 58 ½ (don’t ask me)  mammoth remains- some wooly mammoths and others a larger mammoth breed  (yea- there really were mammoths bigger than the wooly guy.)  Fascinating- they’ve been excavating here for decades and they say it’ll take another 20-30 years.  All these mammoths went into a spring…

May 29th- Enough rain already!! Another day of all day rain- I’m going stir crazy—please save me!!  It’s so bad that I spent the morning cleaning—that tells you just how desperate I was for something to do—cleaning UGH!!!  By 1:00 both Noel and I just had to do something – so out through the rain we dashed and headed to Rapid City to see Prairie Edge Trading Company.  WOW what a place-- thousands of native Indian crafts and art work—items from a few dollars to $55,000 – yes that’s right…

May 28^th – please shoot me – we’ve got to go buy groceries – no milk, bread, eggs, water, potatoes, fruit—you get the picture—so &^%$%^&*&* - off to Rapid City for groceries  (nothing closer.)  Alright so I survived grocery shopping and we’ve put everything up  (and wasted a half day – sorry can’t help myself.)  Okay can we please now go have some fun—please. Hooray – off to Custer State Park to check out the visitor center- want all sorts of information on the trails,…

Ok so nothing to do right now It's early Sunday morning...the one before Memorial day 2011.....we are camped at our first stop in the Black Hills...Hermosa ..16 miles from Rapid City...here for 18 nights....there is a bunch of stuff to do and see here hence the long stop over....we left the Badlands Friday and that was sad as the 11 nights there besides the few days we lost due to bad weather was just about as awesome as you can get....I loved the area...guess so did Rose....we finally did…

A friend and his friend drove 2 RV's to Alaska to deliver them there.  They had get to the factory, buy gas and pay for some extra days, and of course fly back home.  But it was a great opportunity.

Does anyone know how I might learn more about doing this - anywhere in the US.

Thanks, 

The signs are all here.  Birds singing.  Bulbs pushing out of the ground about to burst into bloom. …

We usually can't wait to get out of this populous state when we go on our longer RV trips . However, I have to admit, the weather really is hard to beat. Along the coast from the San Francisco Bay Area to San Diego, we have only had one day of rain since January 4th and it is now almost the middle of February. OK, no rain is one thing but it has also been unbelievably warm and sunny. Most days the temperature varies between 60 and 70 degrees. Our current renters came from Sedona, Arizona.…
