  • First-Time RV Adventure at Okefenokee Refuge

    On the last day of 2025, we made a life-changing decision. We traded both our cars in and bought a 2025 Toyota Tacoma in anticipation of purchasing a travel trailer.

  • I’m back on a Very Limited Basis

    Hello to all my friends in the WP community. I’ve been away for a long time. A lot has happened in the past two years. Some planned and some unexpected. Life has been turned upside down. I had foot surgery from a torn tendon in June 2021 and have had a rough go at recovery.…
