We Have Opened An Online Store

May 20, 2021September 14, 2025 Jolene MacFadden

Yes! We have opened an online store strictly filled with Print-On-Demand products. These are geared towards our fellow RVers that they will, hopefully, find funny, insightful, and possibly relevant for their traveling needs. We will start out slow with simple drawings, pictures from our adventures, and insightful sayings. We hope you will find something that you would really like to buy. We only get a small percentage from these products but, you know, every little bit helps these days. The printing company will take care of the merchandise, printing, packaging, and sending everything out to our customers. We create the designs and choose the colors, sizes, and pictures that we use.

Women Camping Fun

December 15, 2019 Jolene MacFadden

Women love to camp too. Most of us would rather camp in a recreational vehicle of some kind with a soft bed, bathroom and a shower. So long as you can get our home on wheels into whatever spot is available even in the middle of nowhere we would probably have a great time. There is something special about a miniature home on wheels that reflects our personality and has all the comforts of home. Yes, we can sit by the fire outside our little place, roast marshmallows over an open flame and drink a nice glass of wine while gazing at the stars. Then we can go into our abode grab a shower and hit the sack in an air conditioned space. Make sure we have electricity at the campsite or a very nice and quiet generator. Wait…that is what I like to do.

Summer Camping Or Wait Till Fall

May 14, 2018 Jolene MacFadden

Are you going to camping in Florida this summer or wait until the weather cools off a bit in the Fall? Normally, most of the full-time RVers have already left Florida for cooler places in the mountains of the Smokies, the Rockies and the really lucky ones are headed to Alaska for the summer month there. We really don’t blame everyone from leaving the southern part of Florida and even here in the Northeast part for the really hot months that are already here. We should be starting with our every afternoon rain/thunderstorms real soon. Which will be a little relief during the days and help the nights to be a little cooler. But, of course, then we will get a platoon of mosquitoes out of the bargain. And, of course, there is the whole, Oh, No! a hurricane is coming where should we go?

Winter in North Florida

January 18, 2018 Jolene MacFadden

Winter in the north Florida area has roared in like a lion this month. Not only did we have snow in portions of this area earlier this month last night we got down in the teens here at our the county park where we are currently workamping. Most people come to Florida for warmer temperatures and our more than average nice weather when the snow is blowing a blizzard in the northern, central and western states this time of year.

Dog Days of Summer

August 15, 2017 Jolene MacFadden

Dogs days of summer are upon us. We are still hanging out working in the Alligator Lake Recreation Park here in Lake City, Florida. With all the visitors we have had even on the hottest days here we have been keeping pretty busy with our duties. When we are not driving around on the Gator picking up trash, checking out the trails, cleaning the bathrooms, checking the trash cans and keeping the rental pavilion cleaned between uses we have been keeping busy with creating more handcrafted items, working on my websites, and entertaining my granddaughter during her visits while out of school. We have also had the big air conditioning unit die on us so we have had to replace it with two small window AC units. Thankfully, my brother was in town and able to install them properly. We had also, finally, ran out of propane and he helped me put in one of those “Stay-A-While” propane kits so that we can use the smaller, portable propane tanks you can exchange at our local Walmart. It seems to be working fine. We haven’t tried filling up our onboard tank with it. Instead, we have the smaller tank’s propane going directly into the RV. Don’t forget to keep your onboard tank’s valve off when you use one of these.

Free North Florida Springs – Part 4

April 3, 2017 Jolene MacFadden

Free North Florida Springs – In our forth and final episode in the series we will be listing a couple of the free springs left on our list and relisted a few of the websites you might want to “favor” or “bookmark” for future reference. Again, please remember that all of the springs we have listed are located somewhere along one of the rivers, have a tendency to flood several times a year and do not have the same amenities as the ones in our Florida State Parks. Also, please do not harass the local wildlife, bring mosquito repellent, wear water shoes to swim and always bring along someone who is a better swimmer than you are. The buddy system works for a reason. Most of these places are in the middle of a wildlife and/or wilderness area and you do not want to swim alone. Finally, please be kind and take your trash with you or at least use any trash cans that may be provided. Leave only footprints and take only pictures.
