The promise of a simpler and less cluttered existence was one of the things that led us to full-time RVing and an early retirement in 2016. This short film by full-time RVer Steven Dempsey explains in stunning images and poetic words the essence of the kind of life that we try to experience.
On Labor Day, David walked across the Mackinac Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere, taking part in a 61-year-old Michigan tradition.
On our first full day in Detroit, we explored downtown’s Eastern Market and the urban park on Belle Isle–and busted some of our misconceptions about the area.

California’s Yosemite National Park is truly one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. Glacier Point, on the Yosemite Valley’s south rim, was at the top of our list of places to explore during our month-long stay at Park of the Sierras, a beautiful Escapees co-op park in the Sierra foothills. And being there in October allowed us to miss most of the crowds that tend to choke Yosemite during the summer, as well as the winter weather that will inevitably close Glacier Point for the season within the next few weeks.
We got our first taste of sea kayaking–and checked another national park off our list–on a spectacular guided excursion with Seward tour company Liquid Adventures to Bear Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park on June 23, 2017. After meeting our guide, Libby, and
