Future Dreams, Endless Possibilities

Join me as I travel, visiting Friends, Family and Fun places, to see this beautiful country and possibly discover a new path for my life's next adventures. I promise to share with you the Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Awesome!

  • Surprised to hear from me so soon? I am on the move, and when that happens, a lot happens in my world. Time is getting short, and I have so much to do! I can’t believe this adventure is nearing an end …… only to lead to different adventures in the future! So, South Dakota… Read more

  • UP part II

    Since you don’t hear from me very often, you may be thinking that the excitement and novelty of this adventure have worn off – NOPE! I’ve just spent the last few weeks living a somewhat normal life and I didn’t have a moment to myself. I’ll do a quick update on the last few weeks… Read more

  • Yoopers

    Anybody know what Yooper is? It was a new one on me and will be explained by the end of this blog. 9 months in and still enjoying this adventure. I felt it was time for an update: 28,053 miles 1534.16 gallons of gas $4608.68 gas purchases 16 National/State Parks visited (I think this number… Read more

  • Two Choices

    I made it to Virginia with a bit of fun along the way. Before leaving NC, I visited another Harvest Host location in Weldon – Weldon Mills Distillery (I really should limit my stays at Distilleries, Breweries and Wineries. They let me stay for free, but I feel I should at least SAMPLE the goods!)… Read more

  • Georgia peachy Part 2

    Look who’s back! Everyone, this is Melanie. She’s all over. Nice of her to join me again for a few days. Now I’m even further north in Georgia – I had a reservation at one campsite and they called me last week to say they weren’t going to be open in time, BUT they have… Read more

  • Georgia Peachy

    I have never spent much time in Georgia. It is a Bee-yoo-ti-ful state!!! Dave (from the last post) lived here for 20 years, so he gave me some tips. For those of you who have been following this blog, you may remember that I have been to Atlanta already, and I told Cliff to NEVER… Read more

  • Landman fan?

    To finish out my time in Scottsdale, I was invited to a rock concert. It is becoming obvious to me that I am really getting old because we were wimps. Yep, Hinder. We were determined to be ROCKERS that night! They have some decent songs (I know 3 total) so we figured it would be… Read more

  • Marfa Art Scene

    I have now been through four Border Patrol stations. They don’t do much besides ask if I’m a US citizen, let the dog sniff sometimes, or just wave me through. I must look like the All-American girl and no worry to them. I’d be curious to see what they do when they actually suspect something… Read more

  • Blow Blow Seminole Wind

    Another country song 🙂 It feels great to be back on the road. Since there are going to be a bunch of stops this week, I thought I better try to blog as I go. We’ll see how long THAT keeps up. I’ve been hovering around Texas for quite a while now, and finally had… Read more

  • Waaaay Down Upon the ……

    Yes! Songs constantly go through my head as I’m driving around! I saw the Suwannee River AND the Chatahoochee! I have miscellaneous stuff to catch you up on. I decided to take a little road trip while I was in Clearwater, but before I left, we wandered to a city park for some live music,… Read more
