RIDIN’ ROADS

By |2021-06-06T21:25:18+00:00June 6th, 2021|Camping, It's A Jeep Thing, Overlanding|

While Slipper and I are living full time from our 30' International Serenity Airstream, we just started modifying her Jeep Rubicon for Overlanding while RIDIN' ROADS and discovering isolated places to camp. We love the discovery of camp spot next to a rushing creek or river... or beside a still and peaceful lake... or atop [...]

We have been thinking about it... talking about it... and transferring our emotions to it... and so we finally "pulled the trigger" (more properly said, "paid the money") to have CVT CHATTANOOGA install our long awaited Mt. Hood (L) Black Rooftop Tent. We couldn't be more happy with the CVT CHATTANOOGA TEAM (Jake, Freedom, Matt [...]

Ever since we purchased Slipper a Jeep Rubicon, we have been planning to modify the Jeep for Overlanding. You might say, "It's A Jeep Thing." As we have scheduled a few upcoming modifications, we have also decided to get outside on some back roads... dirt roads... gravel roads... and begin discovering the fun of just [...]

The weather this Winter Season has been quite the challenge to get out on our days off to hike, backpack and tent camp... but on this particular day we want to take advantage of being IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT. So what do we do? We jump in Slipper's Jeep and head out to [...]

YONAH MOUNTAIN TRAIL

By |2021-01-17T14:13:50+00:00January 17th, 2021|Hikes, Hiking|

Slipper and I are both native Georgians and have traveled by Mount Yonah our entire lives without ever investigating it... until we intentionally decide to climb and hike it. While it is a popular trail for a lot of people, one can arrive early in the morning to practically miss the crowd (especially when hiking [...]

2020 closes out with the dream coming true... a White Christmas! It all begins with a magical, story-book Christmas Eve excursion to Blue Ridge, Georgia.

A NOVEMBER SNOW

By |2020-12-04T18:02:04+00:00December 4th, 2020|Family, Full Time RV Living, RV Living, Tiny Home|

A November Snow in Georgia? I am as old as dirt and I have never seen  snow this early in The Peach State. I'm not complaining! As a matter of fact, I celebrate the early snow! We knew (when we purchased this property, that we were at an elevation that would most likely experience more [...]

While it doesn't happen every day... week... or month... when Tiny Home & Airstream Living becomes A FAMILY AFFAIR, a memory is created until the next mountaintop excursion. This is the first time one of our children and family has spent-the-night in Alfie The Airstream. With thoughts about bears and wolves... the Grandchildren make it [...]
