Sunrise in White Sands National Park 2018-04-18 | Melody Stevenson | Leave a comment Just two days after we left Houston for our 2018 chapter of life on the road, we found ourselves in New Mexico and decided to lose some sleep to spend another sunrise in White Sands National Park.

Deception Bay and Bull Kelp 2017-09-12 | Russell Anthony | Leave a comment Yesterday morning we took some time to do one of those many things we said we would do more of this year – enjoy where we were and what we can do there. In this case, that involved a guided kayak tour through Deception Bay near the San Juan Islands and only a slight amount… Read More
The Best Kind of Olympics 2017-09-10 | Russell Anthony | Leave a comment What can I say about the Olympic Peninsula? Well, about 10,000 terms of endearment and descriptions of the symphony or gorgeous weather and scenery. Distilling those down to a few simple ones is the trick. 2 years ago, on Melody’s insistence of her love for the area, we took a 10 day trip out to… Read More
Blog Look update & social media fun 2017-09-04 | Russell Anthony | Leave a comment As some of you may have noticed, we’ve undergone a little shift in the Home Sweet Roam blog look.

While the quest for worthwhile internet is an ongoing subject through out our travels, our supply… Read More

Generating ample frustration. 2017-07-18 | Russell Anthony | Leave a comment I recently made a little post about changing the oil and filters in the RV ‘van’ and the Jeep. I also mentioned doing the same to the Generac QP40 generator in the RV, but noted that would be in a later blog post since there were extenuating circumstances. Here is that post. Where do I… Read More
Review: Cotton Gin RV park, Quanah TX 2017-07-17 | Russell Anthony | Leave a comment The easy access from the road just a block off of the highway, made it a dream come true when we wanted to pull over and get stopped nice and quick after a white-knuckle drive through fierce cross-winds across north Texas. The lanes were wide and open and the pull thru spots were quite long.… Read More
The past week (7/12) 2017-07-15 | Russell Anthony | Leave a comment In these weekly update posts which I hope to keep doing, you’ll find links to posts about the more noteable events. If they seem interesting but aren’t linked, they will be when we get that post done! This way, we’ll have a semi-chronological way of keeping events straight on the blog. Otherwise some things get… Read More
