Westy Rambles West
We’re in the thick of our third road trip with Primrose, crossing Florida’s Panhandle to pick up sections of the Florida Trail.
Little Campsite by the Chipola
En route to the Panhandle Trace Hike, we take a detour along the Apalachicola River Valley to pick up some new sections of trail, and end up camping at a trailhead.

Before taking a 1,000-mile journey across Florida to hike distant sections of the Florida Trail, we find it necessary to upgrade the tires on Primrose.

Hiking Can Wait
Leaving the Florida Trail to chase down a lead on a new antique VW Westfalia camper, JK discovers it’s well worth the detour.
