Tarpon Springs to Gatlinburg
We were very happy in Florida for the winter and not yet ready to venture north, but Lora found a lot for sale in a tiny home resort in Gatlinburg, TN. These lots were moving fast and so we sprinted out of Florida and into the cold of Tennessee in the winter. About 50 miles…
Read MoreWinter Cold Avoidance
After spending Christmas with family in Maryland and Virginia, the weather started turning cold and we felt the urge to go south. We like to travel leisurely so we took three days to get to our first stop in Florida, Bulow RV Resort in Flagler Beach. Bulow RV Resort was hardly a resort, but we…

Read MoreSierra Nevada Brewing Company
Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Mills River, NC was a grand and beautiful facility. The taproom and restaurant were huge with an outside dog friendly section that included a smaller menu. The day we went, a Sunday, we got the last two seats at the bar. Lora stuck with the Pale Ale while I did…
Read MoreBearWaters Brewing Company
BearWaters Brewing Company in Canton, NC was a God send. The campground we were staying at was terrible and so this brewery came in very handy.
