We have no idea where this journey will take us but we know it will be a lot of fun figuring that out.
Elijah Clark State Park is a 447-acre Georgia state park located in Lincolnton, on the western shore of Lake Strom Thurmond. The park is named for Elijah Clarke, a frontiersman and war hero who led a force of pioneers in Georgia during the American Revolution. A reconstructed log cabin displays colonial life with furniture and tools dating back to 1780. The park is also the site of the graves of Clark and his wife, Hannah. The park's location on the lake makes it popular with fishermen.
Augusta is a city in Georgia, near the South Carolina border. The Augusta Museum of History includes exhibits on golf and soul singer James Brown. The Augusta Riverwalk runs along the Savannah River. Nearby, the Morris Museum of Art is dedicated to the art of the American South. The Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson depicts the early life of the 28th president. Trails span the length of the 1845 Augusta Canal.
Augusta National Golf Club, sometimes referred to as Augusta or the National, is a golf club in Augusta, Georgia, United States. Unlike most private clubs which operate as non-profits, Augusta National is a for-profit corporation, and it does not disclose its income, holdings, membership list, or ticket sales.
Chick-fil-A is an American fast food restaurant chain and the largest chain specializing in chicken sandwiches. Headquartered in College Park, Georgia, Chick-fil-A operates 2,909 restaurants across 48 states, as well as in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Hi! We're new subscribers and we're on the brink of starting our journey. Curious how you deal with health care? We're in Ontario right now. Where did you start? How much time do you spend in Canada?
I'm going to guess that Barb is a Virgo and Mike is an Aquarius.
Aries and Taurus 🤣🤣🤣... I will let you decide who is the Bull 🤣🤣🤣
Are you guys OK? Haven’t done a video in a while. Just checking in.
Hi there... yes everything is good here... we just decided to spend the summer closer to home at a seasonal camp site so we can spend some time with family and friends. We are leaving again soon for Texas and Mexico 🇲🇽.... hopefully more videos will be coming soon. Thanks for checking in 😀😀
Excellent!! Glad you all are OK. Take care!
What year and model is your Cougar 5th wheel?
Hey neighbours! Wonderful to have been able to finally sit down together so George and I could see what you're up to! (George is busy work work working - another story). Love this latest video myself because it is giving us both a lot of confidence to take the great leap! No video from you guys for a few months now so hoping all is well. Would love to chat with you! The neighbourhood hasn't changed much. Wish we could have spent more time together when we were just across the street! Happy trails!
Hi guys!!! Nice to hear from you and i'm glad things are going well. We have been in a "holding" pattern here in Niagara at a seasonal site for the summer... we decided we needed to be grounded for the summer for family and friends... BUT we are off on another adventure in October to Texas and then Mexico. We are loving travelling but we've also learned A LOT our first year of full-time travel... i'm hopefully going to start the videos up in a few months, i just needed a break because they where a lot of work 🤣🤣🤣... tell George it's time to travel and enjoy life now 🤣🤣🤣... i hope you guys still have your trailer and are enjoying some travel as well.
Also we are here in Niagara till middle of October for sure so let us know if you would like to chat 👍👍
I live in Savannah, Born and raised. Glad you enjoyed your visit. Come back again
Thank you
You both are great you did a great job filming and communicating with us. The editing and add ons were very enjoyable and very entertaining. This state park was wonderful we love whenever we can get a water view or close enough to walk close by to an ocean , lake or river. You did an excellent job reviewing this campsite. Sad but funny about the golf site. Funny how you hear about chain restaurants in different areas so you have to try them! We have subscribed to your channel and will watch more looks like you have been to many places we have on our list. We are wishing you more great adventures and a growing channel we hope to see you on the road one day Just Ramblin Aorund!
Thanks for the feedback!!! Hope to see you on the road one day!!
Thank you! Heading there with my wife for our 15th anniversary! Excited to check out your tips, including the carying of drinks everywhere! 😂 🍸
Enjoy your time there... we love it there!!
Nice video! You have captured some of the greatest things in my home state. Our state park system is second to none. I hate that you were unable to see Augusta National up close, it is definitely heaven on earth. Chick-fil-A is a must visit while in Georgia, especially since it was born right outside of Atlanta. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Georgia. Butch and Becky 😀
Georgia is an absolutely beautiful state !! We loved it there, so much to see and do... we will be back that's for sure.
That park is my kind of camping. I went to The Masters in 2003 when Mike Weir won in a playoff. The place is stunning and TV doesn't do it justice. There is a lot of elevation change. I couldn't believe how cheap things were there. The most expensive sandwich was $2.50 and beer was $1. 4 of us went and we had 2 four day passes. I bet we could have sold the passes for 5k.
Ya i would have loved to have seen the course but no luck... i was surprised they actually sell tickets there, i heard they are pretty strict with their ticket sales and there is a multi year waiting list to actually get them.... so i was surprised there where ticket vendors all around the course... anyway kind of cool to see 🙂
Looks beautiful!!! ❤
Beautiful park for sure and Barb we have a new Chick Fil A here in Barrie now you are making me want to go which with your recommendations I definitely will this week . Have a great week you two
Thanks and enjoy your Chick-fil-A 🤣🤣🤣
I'm heading there next month. Along comes my fiance. One more thing to cross of the bucket list
You will love it!!! The historic district is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy your time there and wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot! 😄 Barb & Mike
having money in the bank doesn't guarantee anything ...if the banks fold and they go to digital currency etc, what really will you have??
There is no guarantee on anything... my motto is live your life now when you can and while you can... if the banking system fails we will all be in the same boat anyway...
I LOVE YOU'S♥
Love you too Bon!! See you soon xo
Thanks for this video. I’m sharing it with my spouse who is still not convinced that we can do this lifestyle. I’ve been retired for a few years and I’m hoping she will soon. I can’t wait to get rid of the snowblower and lawnmower.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video... this lifestyle is absolutely achievable for everyone... I hope you can convince your spouse that there are opportunities out there if you can think outside the box sometimes. Good luck!! Barb & Mike
Thanks Guys and have a wonderful week I have thought of it many times just need the courage
We really hope that one day you find the courage and head out on a wonderful journey... you won't be disappointed. 😃👍 Barb & Mike
Awesome video. Your telling my story too. Headed to TX in May from Cape Cod. Fulltime also. Not waiting.
Sooooo many people have similar stories but so few make changes and take chances... we just didn't want to be those people that say "we should have done it sooner!!!" When it's too late!!! I'm glad you are one of those chasing your dreams, and we hope to see you out there. Barb & Mike
We are planning to go full-time in 9 years. Our countdown clock started last year. We will be in our mid 50s. I am ready now mentally lol hubby not quite there yet. But, full-time was his idea and I am so excited!!
That is awesome!!! Follow your dreams because this lifestyle is worth it... it's not without it's challenges mind you BUT the pay off is worth it. Keep planning and keep dreaming and don't give up on your goal!! We hope to see you guys on the road one day! Barb & Mike
What a great decision for you guys! So proud that you took to the road and that you’re enjoying life to the fullest! 🚙💙🌎🚙
Thanks Renee... hasn't been without its challenges but no regrets yet. Everyone should follow their dreams and do whatever makes them happy! 👍👍
Welcome to Texas! And welcome to Corpus Christi!!
Thanks! Loved the area... and Texas was awesome... i just wish it was warmer when we where there 🤣🤣
Glad you had a great time! When you get to Corpus Christi, make sure you visit the USS Lexington! I served on her for 5 years in the 80's.
Hi David... thanks for your service! We actually missed that tour when we where there but are planning on going back one day so it's on our list to see next time.
Forsyth Park , my favorite of the 22 squares, so much beauty, dog friendly, tourist friendly, shaded, architecture is beautiful around the park!
Savannah is by far one of our favorite places we've been so far... the vibe in that city is like no other we've seen so far... loved it.
Did you have to book your campsites a long time in advance or did you just show up and they had vacancies?
We booked in advance because in January it's pretty crazy there and if you are looking for full hook ups my advice is to book early... unless you are boondocking in the dessert then you can pretty much just show up
What year is your truck and is it gas or diesel? When towing do you use tow/haul?
It's a 2016 sierra and it's gas... and i always use tow haul... my issue was maintenance which i did NOT DO 🥴🙄... VERY expensive mistake on my part, i never had the trany fluid changed which i should have!
@@barbandmiketravels I can't believe a gas tranny is $6500 US. The number one killer of a tranny is heat. Maybe put a larger tranny cooler on, it should be cheap but nothing seems to be cheap anymore. I'm in Canada too and I've only replaced one tranny and it was $2300 Canadian 10 years ago. I know it's hard to pay the extra for a diesel but you get the money back when you resell and it's night and day compared to gas.
I called around to 4 different shops and they where all within $500 of each other... a lot of money but we really had no other choice. And a tranny cooler is on my list when we get back to Canada in May. We might upgrade the truck but really other then this mishap the truck has been great so far... but it could be an option eventually.
You guys should get a cottage on that island 😎
That would be awesome but expensive 🤣🤣🤣... it is very beautiful there though
Tow truck, ripped you off, badly.
I agree... but we where stuck on the side of the highway with no other options 🥴🥴🥴
Love the history and beautiful historical homes...my kinda towns!!
Us too!
Too bad about the breakdown guys! But looks like you made the most of it…..and $4800 for a tow!? Wow guess I should have been a tow driver haha
Ya it was an expensive day but i guess you just have to roll with the punches sometimes 🥴. Learned a few things that day!! 🤣
Should have bought my F250
I would have but it's a Ford!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Quartzsite looked pretty full (again) I'm thinking its an experience all RVers should do once! Good video and we just sub'd👍
It's something all RVr's should experience once... will we go back?? Don't know for sure so many more places to go 🤣🤣... thanks for subscribing 👍👍👍
Looks amazing! ❤ So much to see and do. You’ll have to head back next winter!
Hopefully!!! Still debating where to go next year
I Love you's, enjoying your videos & your journey thank you for taking us with you's xo💞
Love yuzzzzzzz too !!!!!
Pralines are the featured product at both River Street Sweets and Savanah Candy Kitchens
We just liked everything in there!!! 🤣🤣🤣... sooooo good !!! A must stop if you are in Savannah!
Love your videos. Where in Tombstone did you camp at. Me and my wife want to go there. Also The Bisbee Mine looks great to visit. I was watching your Quartzsite video. You do need to get Solar Panels if you want to boondock. Also get a generator and an inverter. You will love boondocking
Hi there... Tombstone RV Park is where we stayed... it was literally 5 mins from downtown so pretty central and i think a much nicer park then the one's that are right in town... the one's downtown looked really tight to get into. Bisbee is only a 30 mins drive and a must stop if you are there, i didn't know it even existed but it's a really pretty little town, and do the mine tour! As far as solar... we for sure need it and i'm looking into it, but we might have to wait just a little longer as you will see in next weeks video 🥴... Thanks for watching Paul !!!! Barb & Mike
At Tyson Wash market place there are a few places that sell Solar
Thanks for the info!
Great editing! Love the music and commentary. What a great adventure
Thanks Michelle!!! Keeps me busy on the road and out of Barb's hair!! 🤣🤣... hope everything is good with you guys!
you dont need the music.
Ya i agree i tend to over use the music... i'm still new to the video editing so baby steps for me 🤣🤣... thanks for the feedback! 👍
First time here and now a subscriber to your channel! And a Texan. Port A, Corpus and Padre are nice. You may be hitting spring break there… You’ve probably had this asked a million times but the curtains - did they come with your rig?
Hi there... love Texas btw we will be back there. The curtains did not come with our trailer, they where those cheap collapsible ones. I took them all out and then Barb made them before we left... at first i hated them but i realized they really helped with keeping the cold and heat at bay... they've grown on me now! 👍🤣😃
First time viewer on your channel. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I hope the volume control gets better as you go. I keep dialing it down for loud music and up to hear the voices.. just my two cents cents.
Thanks for the feedback... i'm still learning how to use the editing software so i very much appreciate your feedback 😊... i will be working on the volume control going forward 👍👍... thanks again
@@barbandmiketravels I Hit the Like and Subscribed... you folks do some great work and I'm enjoying the ride along from my recliner :D
Thanks!
At Port Aransas you can take a boat that goes to San Jose Island just across the Corpus Christi ship channel.San Jose is unihabited ,people go to fish on the jetty ,or shell hunting.The boat goes every 4 hours ,just need to take a cooler with water and any food you may want.
Thanks for the info! We will look for that next time we are there!
