Yesterday we drove to Chimney Rock State Park. It was about 17 miles from the campground we were staying at (Lakewood RV Park) but it took a little over a half hour. It was quite a drive as far as curvy roads go. I’m glad we didn’t try and camp up near there as it […]
This will be a short blog post tonight but I just wanted to put up a few pics of our day trip today. We are staying again at Lakewood RV Resort in Hendersonville/Flat Rock area of North Carolina and I’m convinced this is the best location for a variety of activities. We started the day […]
On our traveling day to Ohio we woke up in Wytheville, VA to find ice and snow on the camper and steps. This was our day to travel and we wanted to get an early start, but we had a little cleaning up to do. At the last minute I had packed an ice scraper before […]
Well our plans were to be at the Gallipolis Fairgrounds tonight but here we sit in Wytheville, Virginia…. Sometimes the weather reads my blog and decides to shake things up a bit….. Last night we stayed in Mayberry Campground and our plans were to only stay in that area one night. It was only 4-1/2 […]
We’ll be getting the Minnie out from storage tomorrow to get ready for our next trip. We are about to start our trip up to Ohio and stopping along the way at a few other places. We don’t have a lot of time, but we will be welcoming a new grandson being born so this […]

I’ve thought about this before, and felt like the risk was so slight and really didn’t pay much attention to all the warnings. We’ve always […]
Uh Oh…. Our First Leak! by: Greg Lawson Linda encouraged me to do a guest blog on Minnie Notes about some repairs I needed to make to our Minnie. If you own an RV, you will have repairs… that is a given. If you can make them yourself you will save a lot of money […]
Last week in Raleigh I went to a Barnes & Nobles. I really didn’t have anything particular in mind to look for as I do most of my shopping on Amazon or listen to books on Audible. This particular day I just went browsing through the aisles (like I love to do)…. I came […]
Raleigh State Fairgrounds Our son landed in Raleigh, NC for business on Monday for a week long stay. Because Raleigh is only 2-1/2 hrs away from us, and we haven’t seen him since last fall, we decided to make the trip for a short visit. We knew we couldn’t take too much time away from […]
Greg was busy a few days ago putting up new blinds. The Winnebago’s and most campers come with pleated shades. Because these are made for RV’s it makes it very hard to raise them up and down. With pleated shades you get either full light or darkness. We added these in our previous camper and […]
