Stopping North of Indianapolis, IN on the Way to FROG

August 14, 2022 On Friday (August 12), we got up and Bruce packed up the rig. I did help with the hitching, as Bruce needs a spotter. We head along I-70 (a very familiar road) to Indianapolis. We did not see a welcome sign into Indiana. There was a welcome center and we pulled in […]

Taking Nox for a Walk

August 11, 2022 To take Nox on a walk, Bruce likes to put Nox’s walking harness on her while she is on the theater seating. It means he doesn’t have to bend over so much. Bruce picks Nox up and carries her down the steps to the outside for her walk. Nox doesn’t want to […]

Moving to a New Spot in Campground

August 7, 2022 We were placed in an overflow site in the Lake Sara Campground on Friday, with the plan to move on Sunday. The overflow site has full hookups. It is at a diagonal to two other sites and blocks them from being pull-throughs. The picture below of the overflow site is taken from […]

Made It to Lake Sara Campground in Effingham, IL

August 5, 2022 We left our previous campground at 11:00 am this morning. We took I-57 most of the way from Sikeston, Missouri to Effingham, Illinois. We will not be getting a new state sticker since we spent the night in Illinois when we picked up our RV. We went over the Mississippi River and […]

Nox’s Little Pink Belly

August 3, 2022 Yesterday, Bruce put the Missouri stickers on our USA maps. We also went to Lambert’s Cafe. It was really fun and if you enjoy Southern food, very good. Today, I am sitting with Nox. She was showing me her little pink belly and I wanted to share her nuttiness with you.

Nox Hanging Out with Me

July 21, 2022 Since I hurt my ankle again, (see https://retirementrvdream.com/2022/07/12/ouch-i-really-did-that/ for the original story) Nox has been a sweetie pie. She keeps me company on the theater seating while I am icing my ankle, compressing it, and keeping it raised. Yes, you can see mosquitoes bites on my legs. We went hiking before I […]

Warfield Point Park in Mississippi

July 19, 2022 We visited Warfield Point Park in Mississippi, along the Mississippi River. We bought Nox along. The boardwalk was not usable and was blocked off with a No Thru Traffic sign on the side closest to the parking lot. The large sign was in sad shape. We walked over to the pavilion and […]

Lake Chicot State Park, Arkansas – Part 3 – Campground and Back Home

July 7, 2022 See https://retirementrvdream.com/2022/07/06/lake-chicot-state-park-arkansas-part-2-hiking/ for part 2. Bruce hooked Nox into her car harness and cleaned up. He hoped to prevent poison ivy/oak from causing a rash. We then drove through the campground in the state park. Along the lake shore, the campsites were back in sites and good for small RVs. I didn’t […]
