Long distant travel comes with many challenges. Nobody wants to arrive at their camping destination completely exhausted after a long day behind the wheel. Many interstate rest areas provide travelers the ability to take a break and relax a bit before getting back on the road. However, is a public rest stop the ideal choice for overnight camping? Skip shares his thoughts on the matter. Daniel drops by the Bald Ridge Creek Campground for a day trip. Wait until you hear what happens when his motorized remote control speed boat dies on Lake Lanier.

Heavy rain and high winds have a history of destroying not only equipment, but the camping spirit we have grown to love and appreciate. Rather than pulling the plug and breaking camp for good, many people are transitioning to RV life. In this episode, Skip and Daniel discuss the benefits of an RV lifestyle and what potential owners should consider before making that important purchase.
