One thing I especially like about this version is that I didn’t try to resolve the uncertainty. You don’t know yet whether you’re going to sell Big Bertha, stay put, find a workcamping position, or continue traveling—and I think the post is much stronger when you simply say that. It also gives you a natural story to continue when you do figure out what’s next.

Our stay at Winding Waters RV Resort in Cartersville, Georgia, was a short one, as we were only there overnight before dropping Big Bertha off for repairs the following morning. Even though we didn't have enough time to take advantage of everything the resort has to offer, we were able to get a good feel for the park during our stay.

When we found out Big Bertha couldn't be fixed on August 3rd as originally planned, we had to figure out where to stay until our new appointment on the 10th. Since saving money was a priority, we left Hope Hull and headed back to Jennings Ferry in Eutaw, Alabama. At only $14 per night with our America the Beautiful Pass, it was hard to beat. We made a reservation for 10 days but ended up […]

The repairs would be delayed by at least another week, but since our reservation at Hope Hull RV Park was non-refundable, we continued with our travel plans […]

Biloxi Bay RV Resort was our overnight stop as we made our way from Louisiana toward Georgia, where we planned to have Big Bertha repaired. We enjoyed a relaxing evening overlooking the bay before getting back on the road the following morning. Unfortunately, after leaving Biloxi on Friday, we learned that the dealership had still not received all of the parts needed for the repairs, meaning our appointment would have to be postponed. Even though […]

Poche's RV Park in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, just outside of Lafayette, was the perfect home base for spending time with my daughter and grandchildren. One of the biggest highlights of this campground is its family-friendly atmosphere. With an Aqua Park, swimming pool, and splash pad, the kids had plenty of opportunities to cool off, burn off some energy, and make memories with their Nana during our visit. The park also features several stocked fishing ponds. […]
