When we’re traveling, it’s common to come across things that inspire me to write about. When we’re home between trips, I often get ideas from what I’m seeing on RV social media and the groups I follow. Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of questions and comments about free camping. One post even claimed there…
My wife, Pat, and I volunteer and help raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. One of the fundraisers Pat participates in each fall involves selling mums. Another CF fundraiser is able to purchase them wholesale and resell them, with the profits going to support the fight against cystic fibrosis. The only catch for us…

On our trip to Door County, we stopped in Appleton, Wisconsin, for a big fireworks festival that I have already mentioned on the site. Our next stop was Brussels, Wisconsin, a mere 50 miles away. It seemed a little strange to move such a short distance, but we were looking forward to an easy travel…
