Running From A Hurricane

I had a good travel day today. I arrived at the Reed Bingham campground near Adel, GA around 3 PM. Not too many campers were hardy enough to enjoy the The 94 degree Fahrenheit heat. I'm glad to have air conditioning in my RV. There is lots of space between campsites and the utilities are new. There were plenty of empty sites. Lots of stuff to do here but we must move on. No time for a catfish dinner at the Catfish House restaurant near the park entrance. I wonder if it’s dog friendly? A rainstorm is coming to cool things off, but otherwise the weather has been good. Niki is having so much fun exploring her new surroundings. I'm currently near the middle of the cone of hurricane Idalia but I'm heading northwest tomorrow.

Florida RV Adventure: Owls, Friendly Campers, and Deep Ravines

Image
Have you ever played "I Spy" while exploring a new place? This trip, I challenged you to find an owl in a picture – keep your eyes peeled as you read! This adventure took me to Keystone Heights, Florida, a charming town nestled about 50 miles northeast of Orlando. Since it's a long drive from my home, I broke it up with a stop at Jonathan Dickinson State Park near Hobe Sound. This relaxing break allowed me to enjoy the scenery and ease into vacation mode. After setting up camp, we were greeted by our friendly neighbors, Gary, Lynn, and their dog, Major. Let's just say Niki was happy Major stayed inside their RV – his bark had a powerful presence! Gary and Lynn, seasoned campers themselves, were gearing up for a summer adventure as campground hosts in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Day two brought an early start as we hit the road for Keystone Heights. The strong winds posed no problems for our trusty tow vehicle and trailer. However, about 100 miles in, we encountere...

A story about Niki and the Easter Bunny

Image
  Niki, a small white dog that is a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, tilted her head curiously at the sight of a basket overflowing with colorful eggs. In it sat a plump bunny with soft fur the color of cotton candy. It was the Easter Bunny! Niki had never met the Easter Bunny before, but she had heard stories about him from the other dogs in the neighborhood. They said he hopped around the world each year, hiding eggs for children to find. Niki wagged her tail excitedly and trotted over to the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny smiled and pulled a bright pink egg out of his basket. "Hello, Niki," the Easter Bunny said in a friendly voice. "I've heard a lot about you from the other dogs. They tell me you're a very good girl." Niki barked happily. She loved getting compliments on how good of a girl she was. "I'm here to hide some Easter eggs in your neighborhood," the Easter Bunny continued. "Would you like to help me?" Niki's tail wagged even fa...

A Tail-Wagging Day at Magnolia Park

A Tail-Wagging Day at Magnolia Park: Exploring with Niki! Hey folks, Steve here from WheelsWithSteve.com! Today, before I left the campground I grabbed my trusty canine companion Niki (a ball of white fluff always up for an adventure!), and headed to the scenic Magnolia Park near Apopka, Florida. Let me tell you, this park is a gem! Towering live oaks, some of the oldest I've ever seen, cast dappled sunlight on our path as we explored. Niki, with her nose glued to the ground, was busy sniffing out all the exciting new smells the park had to offer. It's amazing how much joy a simple walk in nature can bring to a pup! As we wandered deeper into the park, the sound of laughter and chatter reached our ears. Curiosity piqued, we followed the joyful noise and stumbled upon the group campground area. Here's where things got interesting... ...As we approached the source of the laughter, a booming voice rang out, "Would you like a Gatorade Zero?" Parched from our explorati...
