Our 2013 camping season has begun with a long trip south, hoping to catch some warm weather.

Thanks to our friends at the Auto Channel, I had an opportunity to attend the RVIA (Recreational Vehicle Industry Association) show in Louisville.

Madison, IN We like to squeeze in one last camping trip in early December, and luckily in our region there have been some splendidly warm days.

There’s many reasons to love RV’ing, and the list got a little longer this week in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Harmonie State Park Threaded with many hiking trails that end at a pretty picnic area along the Wabash River.

We traveled 3621 miles in 3 weeks, and had a wonderful time all the way!

There’s dust on our tail from the long, long trail.

The high desert prairies are behind us, and now we see hardwood trees and corn farming.

Prairie Homestead – historic sodbuster farm sitting forlornly in the Badlands.

There’s hardly a living thing out here except rattlesnakes and prairie dogs. Upon entering the park, a large sign warns “Prairie Dogs Have Plague” !!
