Darien Georgia: A Perfect Big Rig Stop

December 30, 2025

We had a nice one night stop in Darien, Georgia on our 4 day trek south for winter. This is one of the LONGEST sites we’ve been in with probably room for another 40’ RV in front of our truck and a Jeep behind our van. It was super easy in and super easy out. Not all the sites in this park are this large, but they all have nice sized level pads.

We explored Manatee Springs State Park in Chiefland, FL this week. We didn’t get to see any manatees, but really enjoyed touring the park. We met several lovely people as well and got to see buzzards, gators, and a river otter!

How Our 3 Dogs Travel Like Pros in Our RV

December 4, 2025

Not sure how smushing themselves into 2/3 of the back seat is comfortable, but here they are sleeping the drive day away. Our 3 dogs travel really well and are good camping companions.

In 3 years full time we’ve only had a handful of travel days with issues because of the dogs.
