Chanterelle mushrooms are abundant and easy to find on the Oregon coast. The moist summers and consistent rain, mixed with shade from the forest cover, make the Oregon coast the perfect place for chanterelle mushrooms to grow. We went for a walk at my husband’s family property in Bandon, Oregon with the goal to find … [Read more…]
But… do you two fight all the time? When people find out we live in our 20ft travel trailer, that is one of the most common questions we get asked. We get this question from family, friends, random people… but we especially get this question from weekend RVers we meet at campgrounds. And the short … [Read more…]
I love the Yooper accent and Yooper slang — and I’m not alone. The Yooper accent was even voted as one of the sexiest accents in the U.S. Full discloure: I’m a “troll” and not a Yooper. But we spent seven weeks this summer in the U.P, with six of those weeks in the Keweenaw … [Read more…]
It’s cold and rainy today in Sioux Falls, so I decided to finally look behind the panels in our R-Pod 192. I’ve been wanting to do this for three months, just hadn’t as I’ve always had a hunch there was a few secret hiding spots Well, today… I found them! So grab your Phillips head … [Read more…]
It’s been two months and some number of days since we left our home in Raleigh and moved into the R-Pod 192 Travel Trailer. Going from our 1600 square feet four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathhouse to a 160 square feet camper with a cramped shower and a Murphy bed has had its challenges (some of which we … [Read more…]

Its location at the base of the Smoky Mountains, Nahatala National Forest, and both the Appalachian Trail and Bartam Trail make it a great home base for exploring the area. We stayed a week in Franklin at the Mi Mountain Campground, and … [Read more…]
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about our 2020 Forest River R-Pod 192. I love that there is so much interest in this model (especially since we love our 192). I’m happy to help answer questions, and it helps me learn more about my R-Pod, too! And I may have a few affiliate links … [Read more…]
What the heck are Yooperlites? And you can find rocks that glow in Lake Superior? So, we’re sitting by the campfire and my cousin tells us about how he hunts for these rocks that glow under black light, and even has one to show us and another cousin has a black light in her car … [Read more…]
We love our R-Pod 192 but now and then, there are some funny quirks we need to work out — one of which is the outdoor hose connection. At first we could not figure it out, and thought maybe we had the wrong hose. Turns out, this a common issue for the 2020/2021 R-Pods with … [Read more…]
We left Proud Lake Campground around 11:30 a.m. and headed to General RV, just a few miles away. We’re pretty sure we need a different tow hitch because a 4 inch drop is just a little too low. While they had tow hitches, we couldn’t see a tech (no surprise there) and don’t have the … [Read more…]
