Since coming to the mountains of north Georgia, I have been wary of driving. The ice and snow and rain that descended upon us as soon as we arrived played a part in that wariness, but mostly it was my anxiety. I had been to town a couple of times on my own, but forContinue reading “Mother-Daughter Adventure to Etowah Indian Mounds, Georgia”

Doing the Best We Know, Hiking the Amadahy Trail, Carter’s Lake, Georgia
We had Bird out of the pack doing some hiking when we finally got to a point on the Amadahy Trail where we could safely get down to the lake. The trail down was steep and slick with leaves, but we made it down with no issues. On the way back up, Bird was feelingContinue reading “Doing the Best We Know, Hiking the Amadahy Trail, Carter’s Lake, Georgia”
Giving Ourselves Grace and Breathing, Georgia
For us, camp hosting is a unique time in our adventure when we are stationary for a big chunk of time. This 3-month stay in north Georgia far surpasses any length of time we have stayed in one place since we began this adventure. It also means we are stationary long enough for family toContinue reading “Giving Ourselves Grace and Breathing, Georgia”
Bird Starts At-Home Preschool
With 2022 bringing more stability to our life through Will’s current camp hosting opportunity and similar plans lining up for the summer, we decided to start the New Year by beginning an at-home preschool program for Bird.

Preparing for Winter Camping in Georgia
We arrived at our new camp hosting position in time to ring in the New Year. We knew going into the mountains of Northern Georgia that we had the potential to face winter weather during our 3-month stay. However, we did not imagine that we would face fog, rain, freezing rain, 5 inches of snow,Continue reading “Preparing for Winter Camping in Georgia”
Hard Goodbyes and Hello New Beginnings, Spending the Holidays in Florida
For Christmas, we met my parents at a campground in central Florida. They booked a cabin, and our spot was just down the road from them. It was a quiet, relaxing, and very enjoyable week, and when it came time to say our goodbyes, I really struggled. It had been 5 months since we hadContinue reading “Hard Goodbyes and Hello New Beginnings, Spending the Holidays in Florida”
I Did Not Want to Go Paddleboarding, Florida River, Florida
Going paddleboarding was about the absolute last thing I wanted to do, yet there I was, standing next to the river, Will getting the paddleboard in the water and ready for me to go. Sure, it sounds like he was forcing me to go, and in a way, he kind of was. But he alsoContinue reading “I Did Not Want to Go Paddleboarding, Florida River, Florida”
An Uneasy Feeling, Florida
It was our final day at Fort Pickens, and we were looking at 4 nights of boondocking followed by another week or so of unknown or partial hookups. Since leaving Lake Whitney a week and a half prior, we had been either boondocking or had partial hookups. While we were fully prepared for this longContinue reading “An Uneasy Feeling, Florida”
A Rainy Trip to the Beach, Fort Pickens, Florida
We were so excited to return to Fort Pickens after first visiting earlier in 2021. While it is very secluded and remote, it has beautiful beaches within a short walk of the campground. So, when Will was expecting a call one morning, Bird and I made plans to walk to the beach, even though thereContinue reading “A Rainy Trip to the Beach, Fort Pickens, Florida”
Boondocking with a View…TWICE!, Texas
After spending the summer out West, we became a little spoiled with the boondocking opportunities available around every corner. Once we turned East, especially once we crossed into Texas, we started having a harder and harder time finding free places to camp. Texas posed a particular challenge since much of the state’s land is private,Continue reading “Boondocking with a View…TWICE!, Texas”
