What Are We Doing While In East TN?

 Hey Y'all!

So, what are we doing?

Doctors appointments.

Ever heard the saying "We plan, and God laughs."?  I think it applies.


We spent the time parked out at my sisters, went to Warriors Path (State Park) one day, I went out with my sister a few times, and my mom a couple of times as well. We dog sat. Then I had my CT Scan, which came back with a spot near my lungs. So I was sent for a PET scan, we then waited for results for what felt like forever...

 And sure enough it "lit up". For those not in the know, cancer cells light up (bright yellow) when a PET scan is preformed.  Consultation with the radiology team, and the decision to move forward with the same treatment plan as last time, just a different target area, was made. 



My next appointment, for simulation, body markers, etc is July 22nd. So, needless to say our travel plans are pushed back. We could have done Ohio- but really wanted more time than just a week, and PA is on hold as well.


Currently we're enjoying the week at another state park, and we'll share more about it in an upcoming blog/video, but our first impressions are as follows:

1) Much smaller campground than it looked online.

2) We still hate that the state parks have permanently closed all the pools. (This one is currently removing the pool, and filling it in.)

3) It's very quiet and peaceful.

4) The scenery, especially the river, is beautiful.

5) Squirrels are annoying. 


We arrived yesterday, and walked around a bit. Today we toured the Homestead, and walked some more of the grounds. I think later we're planning on playing in the river, and relaxing some more. Tomorrow, local sight seeing, and maybe some ice cream!


We'll have approximately another week after than simulation before radiation begins, do you have any smaller travel ideas for us? Share in the comments below!


Thanks,

The Outlands

Campground Neighbors (The Good Ones)

  🏕️ The Campground Next Door: Shoutout to the Great Neighbors We’ve Met on the Road Hey there, fellow travelers and tent-side philosophers! It’s Amanda & Chris from Outland Adventures , and today we’re getting a little sentimental (don’t worry, we’ll blame the campfire smoke). Because while RV life is full of gorgeous views and weird roadside attractions, one of the best parts of this lifestyle is something that rarely gets the spotlight: 🫶 Really great campground neighbors. Not the kind that blast music at 2 a.m. or let their dog poop on your rug mat (you know who you are) — we’re talking about the kind, helpful, hilarious folks who make this lifestyle feel like a real community. The ones who wave in the morning, chat by the fire, and lend you a wrench before you even realize you need one. 🧰 The Guy With Every Tool Ever Made There’s always one . He rolls in, sets up camp in eight minutes flat, and somehow has a spare part for your rig stashed under his stairs. ...

Places We've Been/Things We've Done- March & April

Image
 Hey Y'all, So, what have we been doing? Some of it we've shared here in the blog (Like our first Loves RV stay) some we've shared on our social media accounts: linktr.ee/outlandadventures We started out March in NE Ohio, Chris' best friend (more like family really, and that's how we generally refer to them) had just had surgery on his ankle. We visited with them, attended a basketball game, a dance competition, several parks, played bingo, went to Quality Inn with an entire indoor play area with pools, hot tub, mini golf, arcade, and various play areas. I'm sure there was more, but those were the highlights! After we left them we spent a few days in Findley State Park, before heading further west, we spent a night in Delphos, OH... Pretty area, but the weather didn't really cooperate enough to enjoy outdoor recreation. That brings us to April... From there we traveled onward, crossed the state line, and spent a week in Decatur, Indiana.  While there we enjo...
