Indiana winters can be bitter cold and we have varying degrees of snowfall. We’ve never had an Airstream over a winter, so it’s a new experience for us! This year I was able to capture a few pretty pictures of our June Bug next door at Peek-A-Boo Park.
My friend Kelley handmade a lovely Christmas ornament for us and it features the June Bug and a snowman wearing Bob’s trademark LA cap. She is so clever and creative!
Over the winter months we’re prepping the Airstream for a trip to Florida. We’ll be hitting St. Joseph Peninsula State Park and then drive down to Fort Wilderness at DisneyWorld. On our way back we’re planning one night at Manatee State Park and then Grayton Beach State Park before heading back to the snowy midwest.
We’ll be taking our yellow lab Vera again, and we’re hoping to see her enjoy the ocean for the first time, although I hear tell dogs aren’t allowed on Florida beaches. Might have to be a stealth walk!!
The trailer has been winterized so we don’t have running water or the use of our potty, but because it is parked only a few steps from our house, Bob and I have enjoyed a few cozy mornings with hot cups of coffee that we brew at home. It’s a nice get-away. We have to be careful to only turn the heat on the night before our coffee breaks, so the propane tanks don’t run out and leave us freezing!
Hi Bob and Becky!
Welcome to the wonderful world of RV’ing. This is an awesome site that lets the wannabe traveler to this exciting lifestyle. My customers (I sell RV’s at Walnut Ridge Family RV) come in everyday with great stories of their travels. It’s a way of life that can’t be described by a few words. One has to experience RV’ing to get the full gist.
It’s hard to believe that Bob is sliding into retirement. I remember when he and Tom first came to Indy, dethroning Coop and Carrie at Q95. At the time, I thought that they’d never make it. Two young guys from Michigan trying to break into the Indy area radio scene? C’mon! I guess that’s why I don’t spend a lot of time at Hoosier Park, being that my betting on the odds isn’t good. Although Bob will be missed when retirement finally does come around, I can’t help but wish he and Becky the best of luck and long travels ahead!
Oh yeah, and good job, Bob, on the vaping. After toking on logs for 35 years, I quit and started vaping not too long ago. The benefits are incalculable!
I can’t wait to read about more of your traveling adventures and vicariously live that experience.
Thanks again!
I’m happy to see a long-time listener checking out my little blog. Yes, we’re loving the vapes! And Bob isn’t retiring just yet, so be sure to keep listening to The Bob & Tom Show!
I see you’re vaping, Bob. Good for you!
Thanks for checking out my little blog. We’re both vaping now, and it’s amazing how quickly we adapted. LOVE IT.
It’s amazing how quickly we adapt to vaping! I’ve totally gotten into it and wish that it had been around years ago. There’s a great little vape shop in Fortville (I live in McCordsville) called Vapor This. They fixed me up with my Nautilus Aspire and Spinner II battery. They make their own e-juices and have an incredible selection! The guy who owns it is like a craft brewer – he’s very meticulous and proud of his creations, and it shows. He sells the best e-juice, by far, that I’ve ever had.
Back on the topic of RV’ing, I’m going to set up a blog, using my customers’ (with their permission) travels and experiences in their RV world. I’m fortunate enough to be around RV’s all day and spend much of my time in them, being that I sell them. It’s a blast, and I get to own even the most luxurious coaches vicariously. As soon as my kids are done with college (I think they’re on the 20 year plan), my wife and I plan to buy a toy hauler and take my motorcycle around the country. We’ll bivouac at a location and ride within a 100 mile radius, then hit the road a few hundred miles away and explore that area of the country by motorcycle. I have many customers who do just that, and they love every minute of it! I could listen to their stories for hours. Listening to them and discovering this blog gave me the idea and inspiration to create a compilation blog.
Keep on vaping and camping!

We get our vape things at the newest Indy e-cigs on Pendleton Pike.
I bet you will enjoy doing a blog of all your friends’ adventures, and your future ones! Have fun out there on your motorcycle. Happy Trails to You!
I never knew about that shop! I live just a mile off of Pendleton Pike. That would have come in handy today, as I took my first 2 wheel foray of 2015 today. All leathered up, bike idling, and GoPro poised, I excitedly drew on my vape before hitting the road. I hopped on the bike and once again enjoyed the freedom of the wind. Upon my destination, I discovered that I forgot to zip my pocket, thus letting my vape fall out somewhere on my ride. Panicked, I knew that VaporThis wasn’t open and did a quick search (thank you Google mobile!) for vape shops. The nearest one to my house, according to Google, was Alexander The Vape, in Castleton. With the throttle open and a serious Jonesing for a nicotine fix, I made it there in record time and replaced my faithful Nautilus Aspire Mini with the same model. That first draw tasted better than any offering from Sullivan’s Steak House! The adage “haste makes waste” held true today, being that my ride cost $85. Doh!
Hey Bob & Becky!
Bob please tell me you are not retiring soon? Who will replace you and keep Tom in check!
Enjoy your trip, an old 52 year old fan.
