Sep 4, 2021 - We made it home

After just under two months, we are home. It has been a great trip in spite of the Covid-19 issue. We had the opportunity to see so many great things in this country. Our trip total was 8122 miles on the coach and 1800 miles on the scooter. We traveled through countless national and state parks, an unbelievable number of national and state forests, and were successful pretty much in avoiding the cities. Several people have asked what parks were our favorites. This is how I would classify. Best park overall is Yellowstone. Second best...

May 1, 2021 - Our Last Post

After three years, we have decided to conclude our RV voyage. Selling the bus was a difficult decision, but seems it's time. We have had good times and many challenges. We will be getting a stick and brick place to live and hopefully spending some time on the high seas and different countries. Our travels will continue, but in a different form. Thank you all for following us and being a part of our adventures. God bless and keep you all safe.

Apr 19, 2021 - The SOUTHERNcross departs

The SOUTHERNcross is off once more. This time for a northern bound cruise up the Eastern Coast of our U S of A. Gary says he wants to make it to the Chesapeake but I will be happy just making it to Beaufort N.C. We will see when and where cabin fever sets in and then we will know when to turn around. Must remember that however far we roam we must return the same way. So stay tuned to the Gary and Lynn Show for fun and excitement. We hope we will not disappoint.

Apr 9, 2021 - Texas

Left Louisiana on I10 heading into Texas we had plans to go South down to the bottom of Texas and check it out, however the more we thought and talked we decided not to because I have been looking for things to do down there and it is pretty much like being around Fort Myers Beach or Sanibel with lots of water activities, Dolphin cruises and such so with that being said I saw Waco, Texas on the map and since Magnolia Market from Fixer/Upper is there we headed North for Waco. We are settled at Brazos Trail RV Park in Riesel, Texas.

Apr 9, 2021 - What a pork chop!

Houston, TX We continue to help our friends prepare their house for listing. After assisting in cleaning out more cupboards, we purchased (thank goodness we had the Suburban) and then applied 25 sacks of mulch. Things are looking pretty good. We have tried to do as much as we can before we move on tomorrow as our friends have health issues. While we ourselves are still able-bodied, we are very pleased to help in any way we can. Naturally hard work must have its rewards. We had an amazing dinner at Perry's Steakhouse and Grill. We went for...

Apr 9, 2021 - Its good to be home...

Well this should be our last day on the road for awhile. Up at 0600 and underway at 0815 after dumping the tanks and cleaning all the front windows. Thursday morning I thought we might make it home with a clean RV, but yesterday's trip through the blue mountains got us pretty dirty. It was 36 degrees this morning as I took Zoey out. She didn't complain at all because there was grasss! We love our grass. When we left Kennewick there was no wind. That is a first on this trip. There has been wind every day. But we did have a metal to metal...

Apr 9, 2021 - Cape Canaveral

Our days in Florida are winding down. We're in our final couple weeks for this season. Yesterday we left Jonathon Dickenson State Park in Hove Sound and headed North on I-95. We're here for two weeks, sitting on the beach and watching all the marine traffic in the inlet. So this is just a quick note to update our location. I'll try to add some more while we're here.

Apr 9, 2021 - Packing food

Date: April 9, 2021 Weather: brilliant sunshine Temperature: start 9º High 57º Wildlife count: Elk Year List: 72 Birds: We awoke to snow and ice covering the ground, and this snow had a relatively high water content, as we saw when Joe measured at the VC. We enjoyed breakfast at the Virginian, then completed VC chores, including folding the rest of the maps we had opened. We drove out to the laundry room to check on the size of the fridge, that we could find boxes to hold our food to make it easy to make the transfer of food from here to...

Apr 8, 2021 - Circling Back to Frisco

After a nice trip along the Texas coast we headed back to Frisco to spend Easter with the kids. We enjoyed some family time, I got my sushi fix and Kaia spent the weekend with us at Hidden Cove RV. She had a blast driving a golf cart that one of our fellow campers graciously let us borrow and we went for a nice hike around the lake where we discovered quite a few trees felled by beavers plus we taught Kaia how to read animal tracks. On our last day in Frisco Dennis spent quite a long time visiting with a fellow Marine/Vietnam Vet who told...

Apr 8, 2021 - Texas

Our trip started on April 5, 2021 leaving Fort Myers around 7:00 a.m. and traveling up I75 but after a couple traffic delays we decided to take Hwy 27 and go through Old Town and Chiefland picking up Hwy 19 to I10 and stopping for the night in Mariana, FL at Stop and Go RV Park. Day 2 we traveled up I 10 out of Florida through Alabama, Mississippi, and stopping for the night at Acadiana RV Park in Lafayette, Louisiana. Day 3 kept us on I 10 through Louisiana with some horrible roads heading into Texas and stopped for a couple days at...

Apr 8, 2021 - Doswell, Virginia

We are anxious to get home! In spite of this, I am glad we are spending 2 nights here because I am tired from driving. I don't want to travel the northeast metroplex in a tired condition. Last time we were here it was unseasonably cold and the park was mostly empty. Now it is spring and warm, and busy. Last time we had a long site with trees, but this time we have a concrete pad and another campsite back-to-back with us. The weather is nice and we will break out the chairs and soak up some sun. I was planning to look for a covid test on...
