In addition to finding sources for saving real money
on your vacation and Snowbird trips  (column at
right), we have some actual route maps and
campsite sources for the real savings
we have found.

Clicking our map pages (above) and "dots" will
provide useful, first-hand information, photos,
mileages between stopovers and distances
to local attractions in the areas.

In this first part of our ongoing project we visit
some RV Parks,Campgrounds, and routes East
of the Mississippi. We will be continually updating
and expanding as we travel . It's one thing to find a
half-price campground online, but quite another to
hear what the campground is really like from
someone who has been there.

You will also find our Cross Reference Travel Chart
below that you can use to find an economical
campsite near a city or attraction that you are
planning to visit. Feel free to explore our
growing website of information.

Have a question or comment? Email us. We love
to talk about our favorite subject, RVing, and
we would also like to hear about your
experiences on the road!

Hello Neighbor and Welcome . . .

We are retired, love life & travel, and have 3 simple goals: 1. Travel throughout America, leisurely, in our RV. 2. Dine well and see all the places & attractions on our "bucket list". 3. Do goals 1 and 2 for half price (or better!).

We have found that discounts abound for RVers, and spreading that word is one of the reasons for our website. Firstly, Passport America offers 50% off at their member campsites. Roughly 75% of our overnight stays are at half-price camp grounds. Another half-price campground club we belong to is Happy Camper Club.

Being Good Sam Club members we get 10% off at Good Sam campgrounds, when we can't find a Passport park. Good Sam Club has many good reasons to join.  We also manage to get 5% back on all fuel purchases through our Chase Visa card.

We are members of "entertainment.com". With that membership you can find "two-fer" dining in nearly every area in which you stop, (and not just pizza shops). We use it constantly for restaurants and attractions wherever we plan to be. We just started using "Groupon" to find new restaurants and interesting things to do. It usually saves us more than 50% at many places, (the best part, it's free to join).

Both Passport America and entertainment dot com can pay for themselves in 2 nights on the road. We also use our membership in the Good Sam Club for reliable mail forwarding and roadside assistance (both of which we have used and found to be reliable).

Now, if you take it a step farther and consider Workamping, you can work one season and play the rest of the year. We work a few hours during the Summer as Workampers, in return for a free seasonal, pull-thru campsite with FHU (water, electric and sewer) Additional amenities include free cable, WiFi, and laundry facilities. The longer you remain with a campground owner, and he learns that he can rely on you, the hours can become shorter, the work less taxing, and the amenities more plentiful. We enjoy our work, being included in all of the activities, and are even paid for extra hours when we are needed.

Another reason for our website is to share some actual, fun and economical routes with you. There is no reason you have to spend another night in a noisy truck plaza or Walmart parking lot when you can find nice, half-price campgrounds along your route (unless you really want to do so).

This Spring/Summer of 2012 we will be in the New England States.

We hope to see you on the road,

Adirondack Jack, Niki, & K.C.

We mentioned that one of our goals is to travel "leisurely". To us, that means keeping our road times down to 3 or 4 hours maximum on travel days. We arrive at our next stop in early afternoon, leaving time to "inquire and explore" the area before nightfall. That is the way our maps are set up. If you have a need to travel farther in a day, or to get somewhere faster, you can cover two of our "dots" in a day rather easily.
