The Unplanned-Impromptu- Spur-of the-Moment-Spontaneous-Impulsive-Unscheduled Old School Bill’s Man Bag Horseback Riding Adventure.  It is Monday morning we are in Fayetteville North Carolina when I hear from the back room  “I WANT TO BE A COWBOY BABY” “Old School take me hor…

In England, during the 1700's, turkeys were walked to market in large herds. TravBuddy turkey farmers often covered the birds' feet with little booties to protect them on the long journey to the London market. Ben Franklin (aka KiteMan) thought the North American wild turkey should be the national…

The rain in Spain may stay mainly on the plain, but here in Fayetteville this ThanksGiving weekend there’s an awful lot of it on the roadway today.  Possibly not the very best day for a 600 mile RV trip back home to Florida, but Old School & the gang must get home.  Rain is blamed f…

After more then 8 hours on the road we finally made it to the half way mark back in Fayetteville. We were on the look out for an even cheaper Motel this time and we were successful. We stayed at a Motel 6 not far from the Econo Lodge that we had stayed at on the way down to Georgia. We were pretty …

Left Fayetteville North Carolina, finishing my one year tour at Ft Bragg. Instead of going straight back to California, I started a long road trip that I've been wanting to do for years. How often do you get to drive all over the US? I've been all over Fayetteville NC, but it really isn't a part of…

Places we've visited since Doug joined the Army

Bonjour,Well today was the first day of training.  Long day.  But I learned of the Burgerking 69c cheeseburgers.  . . I guess thats the thing to do here.  And tomorrow is the all-you can eat chicken from a mom-and-pop place down the block.  I guess Presidential Candidate Ba…

My 1-week vacation that turned into a 3 week one. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun with my friends!

So on one of my road trips, not one that is posted, I stopped in the middle of the night at one of the Blue Star memorial rest stops. There was a guy in there yelling "I don't believe it! I just don't believe it!" something was obviously wrong, so I smartly stayed clear of him, since you never know…

Just some pics I've taken

I had to go to Alabama for two weeks, and the drive there was pretty much a straight shot. Didn't stop in Atlanta or anything like that. For the two weeks in Alabama I learned a few things about the state. The people are probably the freindliest in the country, and I am severely allergic to&nb…
