More than one person has asked me if it’s a new Airstream Model.

There is something for everyone there. Unfortunately one may not know which trail rating their on until! My wife is the die-hard. I’m been in her Jeep with water coming over the hood in the Ocala National Forrest. The Jeeping group she belongs to is not happy until something breaks. She sent me...

AT&T is our provider and we see 2 bars on our iPhones when we camp there. Lots of trails nearby. One favorite is the Yearling Trail which has a book and movie based on the people who once lived there. There is a short trail within the campground when isn’t promoted much. There is great swimming...

I’m headed out to Jetty Park at Port Canaveral on Sunday for 3 nights. Hopefully see a launch.
