If Eternity Is Forever, Am I There Now?
Once again Deb searched out a great bike trail for us. The Seminole-Wekiva Trail runs along the former Orange Belt Railway. This popular, well-marked, 14-mile route is one of Seminole County's showcase trails. It guided us through residential and industrial settings. The very cool, and surprising part of this trail is the Wall Art. Deb had read… Continue reading Wall Art
When the large water pumps are active, the alligators hear dinner bells. Once used for irrigation the pumps would naturally suck up fish, and eject them into Lake Apopka. The pumps are no longer in operation, but the gators still frequent the fish taco bar. It was getting dusk as we rode our bikes from… Continue reading Lake Apopka
What is a normal temperature for Florida in January? I can’t say, I’m not from around here. We have been bouncing between hiking, biking, or kayaking. Temperature above 70° will put kayak options on the agenda, if biking trails are available and the temp is above 60° we will bike. On cooler days we lean… Continue reading Normal Shmormal
This Christmas our ever extending weekend was spent at Suncoast RV Resort in Port Richey, FL. Very nice place, with outdoor laundry, heated swimming pool, Wi-Fi all the creature comforts necessary for glamping (glamour + camping). Curt is part of the resorts staff, and he also runs a Kayak tour business. He pointed us in the… Continue reading Port Richey And Me
Decades ago speeding down the freeway I remember feeling sorry for the folks riding on a city bus. Restricted, sitting, loss of control, they can’t even get to their exact destination, I thought “Oh my, how can they do that?” What an ignorant thought. Some years later I found myself commuting to downtown Minneapolis for more… Continue reading Who Moved My Cheese?

Being houseless has not deterred from having fantastic yards both front, and back. Sure some are better than others, none are junk, and one needs to remember trying to find, hiking, biking, kayaking, restaurants, dispersed camping, amenity hook ups, laundry, Wi-Fi all in one spot for a reasonable cost is not easy. Deb puts a… Continue reading Manatee and “Who Me?”
Deb and I are connecting more now than ever. How can we not? We both hang out in the same 238 square foot space. We share the same vehicle, and dine together. Our acceptance, and grace quotients have increased along with the RAM’s odometer reading. Everyday there are new adventures, new sights, along with new stress,… Continue reading Connectivity
The popularity of state parks in Florida may be greater than our more familiar MN state parks. My guess is Floridian RV’ers combined with the snowbirds, and the warmer climate create more competition for the finite amount of campsites. BTW - Floridian residents receive a discount of fifty percent. South Dakotan seniors get spit. Our… Continue reading Niceville – It’s A Blast
Ambient temperature under 65 degrees is considered cold water kayaking for us. It’s a shame having the boats so readily available and not be on the water. In the past 2-½ months we have had the kayaks out 3 times, twice-in Louisiana, and once in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Gulf Shores State Park was a great… Continue reading Gulf Shores, Alabama
