Kicking off Hiker Season with Primrose
The first of our 2014 explorations with Primrose helps kick off Florida Trail thru hikers season at Oasis Visitor Center
A Year with Primrose
It’s been a year since we purchased Primrose, our 1982 VW Vanagon. Here’s a recap of where we’ve been and what we’ve seen.
VW Love at the Pasco County Bug Jam
We left Primrose home for the 25th annual Pasco County Bug Jam, but many of her cousins were on display at Florida's biggest Volkswagen gathering in Dade City.
The Return of Primrose
Fall is in the air. Time to bring Primrose out of hibernation. After some decal application and updates, she's ready for the road in November!
I'm a Lumberjack (or so I thought)
Lumberjacks in Pigeon Forge? That's what we found on a visit to the Great Smoky Mountains, learning a bit of history and culture at the Great Smoky Mountain Lumberjack Feud Dinner Show.
Counting on Ninety Six
Established in the 1750s, Ninety Six, South Carolina grew around an important crossroads. Its important role in the American Revolution is now interpreted at this National Historic Site.
Summer Stretch on the AT
Returning to the AT, it took only a few days to realize that mid-July is not an ideal time to backpack the southern Appalachians.
Westy in Hibernation
When summer heat settles across Florida, the thing to do with an antique VW camper is to squirrel it away in hibernation in the garage until the weather cools down.
Hanging out with the Trail Dames
A gathering of outdoor women that now occurs every other year, the Trail Dames Summit is a weekend of workshops and empowerment for embracing the outdoors.
Perception
Our first step in the journey back to the Appalachian Trail to pick up where we left off on our Not Quite Thru of 2012.
