    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    We love to camp at Hunting Island. Always find sharks teeth on the beach. I believe some scenes from Forest Gump were filmed near Beaufort.

    Tripod Torch

    Guess I’m an overachiever because I have been known to bring the Campfire in a Can and the Solo Ranger on a trip.

    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    We bought the G5 about 8 months ago after owning two Clams. I agree that the Gazelle seems to be slightly higher quality. The stakes are impressive. I do see that Gazelle came out with Tri-Mesh screening material which supposedly allows for improved air flow. We did spring for the floor; but it...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I’m from NC and I met my wife in Southern CA. Moved her to NC and culture shock set in! Surprised both of us. A new job took us to Florida which is a melting pot of America and all is good.

    Swimming Bear

    There are lots of wild hogs in Florida. They run in packs and normally not aggressive, but can be. With all the new subdivisions going up; the owners are having fits on what the hogs do to their yards. Some yards look like a plow went thru them. The state is paying trappers to reduce the...

    Swimming Bear

    We camp frequently in and around Ocala National Forest in Central Florida. We have encountered several bears while hiking, geocaching, or off road jeeping in my wife’s off road jeep. Only once have we seen one in a campground due to someone leaving out dog food. But others have told us that...

    Owyhee, Or Overland Trip

    There was a TV show about 10 to 15 years ago where teams raced across Alaska. A team in a factory 4 Runner kept up with the specialized vehicles.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    The Tearjerkers Florida Chapter is floundering. It used to be a very active group. I always enjoyed their annual gathering at Tomoka State Park. I guess there are many distractions in life compared to even what it was 20 years ago? Their Facebook Page rarely sees a post.

    I don’t remember flying into Donaldson, but did fly into Spartanburg Downtown, Greer, and Greenville a lot. Always enjoyed eating at the Beacon in Spartanburg.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    We just inverse it in Florida. It’s a game among some of my friends to see who is the last to turn on their furnace in the winter! I’m just a spectator on that one.

    2 Dumb Things

    I have used LensCrafters while traveling for emergency repairs on my eyeglasses. They have always done so without a charge, and have politely refused to take a tip both times. And I had not bought them from LensCrafters. Discount tire seems to operate on the same policy. At least in the...

    Send some to northern Florida! Southern Florida is flooded, while northern Florida is a dust bowl.

    Running A/c With Generator

    No kayaking this trip. We did make 3 trips to the 72degree water in the spring. Just pulled the steaks off the grill! Nothing like a cold Cayman Jack when it’s hot.

    Running A/c With Generator

    We are presently camping at Salt Springs in Florida. Temperature was 98 yesterday and heat index was 105. The 72 degree spring was full yesterday. Today should be much quieter. Looking forward to spending some time there today. The AC in the camper is getting a good workout. Presently 70...

    Running A/c With Generator

    A Honda 2000 or 2200W generator will be ample to run the AC.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Reminds me when we were on a trip to eastern NC. I needed a haircut and walked into a local barbershop. I immediately noticed that I was the only white person in the shop. I told myself that I’m going to show everyone how cool I am and get a haircut. Needless to say, the barbers did their best...
