RV Park Reviews and More

This pair of Whooping Cranes was spotted during our recent visit to the International Crane Foundation.

Have you visited the rest of our USA-RV Nomads website lately? Besides these blog posts, we’ve been working on adding RV park reviews of the places we’ve stayed, along with photos and links to local attractions.

Earning a Living on the Road

Many of the folks we meet on the road are retired, but not all. And we definitely are not retired! There is no shortage of ways to earn income while you travel.

How We Do It

I have to watch what keystrokes Emma adds to whatever I may be writing!

Jerry and I are self-employed, owners of Zero To Sixty Marketing LLC. Not all businesses lend themselves to travel, but ours does. All we need are our laptops, his camera, an internet connection and a decent cell phone signal.

My RV Kitchen

I love getting questions from readers! Janet asked about the realities of cooking from scratch in the RV: What do we keep on board for equipment? How do we manage healthy meal preparation? What are some ideas and tips for buying organic or in-bulk on the road?

I’ll tackle the first question in this post and tell you about my RV kitchen and equipment.

Our Stay in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas

We spent five weeks in the Rio Grande Valley, known by locals as the RGV. The weather was crazy – beautifully warm for a few days, then very cold, windy and rainy, then back to warm, maybe even hot. Throughout our stay, the wind blew hard, many days and nights with sustained winds of 20+ mph, gusting to 30+ mph. That kind of wind keeps the motorhome rockin’ and rollin’ and makes styling hair a waste of time.

Springtime in Texas

It’s springtime in Texas, and the weather is beautiful. A few bushes are in bloom; others are leafing out. Tiny wildflowers are in bloom across grassy areas.

We enjoy watching the birds wherever we go. A week or so ago, we watched huge flocks of noisy Sandhill Cranes fly overhead as they made their way north. Red Winged Blackbirds stopped here briefly last week and the air was full of their unique sound. For a short while everywhere we looked there were Cedar Waxwings. We’ve always looked forward to the arrival of these birds in Wisconsin as heralds of spring.
