About Us

20190509-Day-9-Ladies-View
Ladies View, Ring of Kerry, Ireland

I’m a retired baby boomer, happily married 50 years, mother of 2, grandmother of 4, traveler, Georgia Bulldog fan, Air Force Brat, avid reader, amateur photographer, gardener, ovarian cancer survivor, blogger. Every day is a gift!

My husband and I started taking RV trips in 2006 when we purchased our 35 foot Titanium fifth wheel. For about the first 10 years of RV’ing we made at least one long trip a year including a trip to Alaska from Georgia. Even though we aren’t making RV trips any more, we’ll never stop wandering.

I started this blog in 2013 so friends and family could follow our adventures as we traveled from Georgia to Alaska in our fifth wheel. After we returned home from Alaska I never stopped blogging. I’ve continued to post about our wanderings and also post about every day happenings in my neighborhood and beyond.

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Thanx for visiting our website! We spent a wonderful afternoon in Jacksonville, FL this past weekend enjoying FL/GA football game. Your dawgs ran without interference during the first half, but the gators gave ’em some resistance in the 2nd. As I’m sure you’re aware, GA won by 3 points. It was a great game to watch, in a park with an equal number of raucous (but civil) fans from both sides. I’m a New Englander by birth, a Floridian by domicile, but may have to root for Georgia in the future!

  4. Hi Beth.. Thanks for visiting our BLOG, as well. This is our 2nd year out fulltiming and as you probably read in our “about us” we are from that great state of Georgia, as well. Lived in Cumming for 13 years before retiring out and headed out on the road. We’re currently in Dolores, CO for a couple of months b4 heading to Idaho….

    1. Thanks for visiting our blog! It’s always good to hear from fellow Georgians! It’s amazing how many people from Georgia we have met in our travels. We stayed in Cortez several years ago and drove through Delores when we took a day trip on the Million Dollar Highway. What a beautiful place to be!

  7. Hi. Linda Smith here from “Sunset Gypsies”. Just wanted to say we are following now. Mike and I have been reading and looking over your pix of Canada and Alaska, Awesome. We definitely have those on our agenda. Especially loved the plane trip over McKinley and actually standing on a glacier. Wow! That had to be an experience of a lifetime. By the way. For some reason I thought you and your Mike were Canadians. I guess it was because I had read your blog about coming to the states from Canada. I didn’t know you were from Georgia. My Mike was born in Fitzgerald, Georgia (south Georgia). That’s where I first started writing for the newspaper and our kids grew up there. I’m native Alabamian. We love reading the travel blogs and now you are on our list. Great job.

  13. Hi Wandering Dawgs. Nice to find your blog. I’ve been down the rv blog rabbit hole for months doing research before we strike out on the road finding mostly full timers (which we may possibly become) so it’s good to see a nice part timer’s blog. We are recently retired, planning to get our first 5th wheel in April and travel mostly spring and fall. Up to now our camping has been in a tent, so it will be a new and somewhat scary adventure until we get used to pulling 35′ of house. We are excited to finally be at the point where we can do this. Look forward to following your travels.

      1. We live in Colorado. We will be selling this house and moving to a lower elevation sometime in the next 2 years, but will stay in Colorado unless we decide to full time for a few years. We love our climate. We have a daughter who lives outside Atlanta and long time friends in Hilton Head, so will be coming your way from time to time. A month on the panhandle of FL sounds devine.

  14. OK, NOW I understand the “dawgs” part of your moniker. But your pooch doesn’t really resemble Ugga too much.

    Beth, I’m interested in the photo challenge process. You’ve posted some WONDERFUL stuff. I’m a fairly serious photographer and would love to come out play. I keep some of my favorite images here if interested : http://www.GeneJurrensPhotography.wordpress.com.

    I look forward to following your work and your travels! Gene

  21. Alaska! The only US state I’ve yet to get to!
    I’ve done many many road trips (in cars, not RVs) — my first cross country one was August 1974, driving in a Fiat with my pal Millie from CT to our freshman years at CA colleges. One of my most adventurous was a solo circumnavigation of the perimeter of the 48 contiguous states in 2014. Canada and Alaska are next in 2019.
    Found you through the “Transient” Photo Challenge.

  22. OMG! I am a 50-stater and a Woof! Woof! Bulldogger as well. What a delightful page lay-out. You’ll have to share how you created the phenomenal maps on Alaska camping. Sounds like a fantastic journey.

    1. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m glad you like the maps! I created all the maps using Google maps. I had to play around with it until I figured out how to do what I wanted. It’s too much detail to try to explain here but you should be able to get online help with it. Good luck!

  24. Beth. A prize-winning tour of your Favorite place. I have spent time in Shellman Bluff, which looks a lot like your coastal home, and your fine images so evoke my fond memories of that time and place. Thanks.

  25. Beth! Thanks. I’m intending to visit Okefenokee Swamp this 2019, for butterflies, of course. You’ve now given me visuals, inviting ones, to whet my appetite for that visit. Suggestions as to where I ought to try, excluding boardwalks, they preventing me from using my Macro- lens upcloses. Thanks, and please remember me when you find yourself face to antennae with wonderful butterflies . . . .

    1. Jeff, i think you would enjoy Stephen c Foster State Park in Fargo. If you don’t like to camp they have cabins. There are walking trails in the park. The park is 17 miles from the highway on a road surrounded by pine forest One year we saw a lot of swallowtails on thistle beside that road.
