Fort Desoto Park is one of Florida’s most beautiful and as such tends to be booked up well in advance. If you’re not a planner (hi there), you can get one of their hold-back sites on Friday mornings starting at 7 am. And you can keep it for as long as seven days. How to […]
At the end of our stay at Dupuis WMA, ended up going to Alafia River State Park because our last minute finagling failed. We overstayed our reservation at Dupuis by a day so that we could try to get into Fort Desoto on Friday morning when they release some sites online. (I’ll describe this process […]
Wait a minute. Did you say “free RV camping in Florida?” Yes, yes we did. And we’re not talking about Walmart, Cabela’s or Cracker Barrel. We’re talking about free RV camping in an actual campground. With a bathroom. That has a shower. With hot water. Whaaat?Where is this free RV camping in Florida?We’re talking about Dupuis Wildlife […]
When visiting Kevin’s family in upstate New York, his aunt gave us a lovely farm fresh head of green cabbage. I don’t usually buy whole heads of cabbage. If you have a standard RV fridge, you’ll understand why. Sure, you can get one. But then you’ll have room for nothing else. So I immediately got […]
Collier-Seminole State Park After camping at Monument Lake for the first part of our stay in the Everglades, we headed towards Naples to Collier-Seminole State Park for a few days. It was only about 30 miles west and didn’t take any time at all to get there. After five days of dry camping, we were ready […]
First Time Casino Camping After leaving the Florida Keys, finally, we enjoyed another first – casino camping! We heard from Brandon and Kerensa of Drive Dive Devour that the Miccosukee casino allowed RV overnights in their lot. Cool! It’s right on the corner of Krome Avenue and Tamiami Trail so convenient to our next destination. […]
Our stay at Curry Hammock State Park lasted a good long stretch: from Christmas Eve Eve until January 4th. And we only had to move sites once! One of the benefits of staying at Curry Hammock is that it is a reasonable bike ride into Marathon. Key Largo, Key West, and Marathon are the closest […]
When people decide to tackle a plant-based diet, they usually don’t start with tempeh. While tofu is pretty ubiquitous, tempeh is still a little out there for many people. Tempeh is a fermented soy food that originated in Indonesia. The brand we see most in the U.S. is Lightlife, but we always try the regional brands […]
After Bahia Honda, we headed to John Pennekamp State Park. But we stayed at Pennekamp twice with Curry Hammock in between. Our first visit to John Pennekamp we didn’t take advantage of the all the park has to offer. Kevin was sick a few days; we had work to do, stuff happens. We did better the […]
