Another big part of our trip was to the beautiful Everglades National Park. We took lots of photos here. It was hard to sift through them all for this post. Enjoy!
The first few days of our trip, we headed down south. Hitting Key Largo and the Everglades Alligator Farm where we took a wild air boat ride through the swamp.
Coming soon … Still copying, editing and sorting through 1,100+ photos from just the first 3 days! Stay tuned!
Finally – we’re on vacation! After a “trip” to Austria this summer and many weekends spent Fun Finder-camping this year, we are now traveling across the USA to spend a week away from everything, doing: nothing. OK … almost nothing. Big plans include: the shuttle launch, a family visit and relaxing. Plus: some more relaxing! Day 1, Saturday 10/30: A trip across the states! With a super-early rise to get out of the house at 5:15 am, we are on … Read More
It’s been 2 weeks already! Or maybe: only!? in any way, we’re off camping again. Yep, the little Fun Finder does not get much of a break these days! Long planned this time around, the camping website “Camp California” was promoting a great deal for the October 1-3 weekend: stay at a select campground, and get a full hook up site for 2 nights for only $50 all inclusive. No doubt that between Kristina and I, we had the website … Read More

None, so this weekend was to be it! After making good time on our way down to the outskirts of LA, we came to an almost-stop on the freeway as a camping/travel trailer had crashed into the center divider, causing 3 lanes to be blocked (an hour delay was the result). What better … Read More
A picture says more than a thousand words … and if not, then read the caption under the photos below! What a surprise! Very funny …
With no plans for the upcoming weekend, it takes only a quick moment to decide what we want to do: go camping! Again! So after picking up the trailer Friday night, calling ahead to get a site, we are on the road late Saturday morning, heading north -towards Calistoga in the Napa Valley. Bothe Napa Valley State Park has a small, no hook-up campground, with pretty (small) sites and great trees & shrubs for privacy. Only a mad person would attempt to sneak through … Read More
Approximately 5 years after a day trip up to Pinecrest with Kristina and Stephanie, when we marked the “good sites” vs. the bad sites” at the Pinecrest Campground, and following many years of trying to get a reservation for a summer weekend up here (by Kristina), she was finally successful in booking 2 great sites for the weekend following Labor Day 2010. And so, the Cougar & the Fun Finder got picked up and taken out for a ride up the Sierra … Read More
