Gozas on the Go!

Live to Travel; Travel to Live

Dennis and Kimberly have been fulltime RVers, since 1992, long before it was cool. They are theatrical performers who live to travel and travel to live.

Between Adventures: Cape Cod to Abington

What do the Act!vated Adventures adventurers do between adventures? We have many mini-adventures. Sometimes fun, sometimes annoying, always surprising. This is our first in a series of glimpses behind the scenes. This is a week in the life of RV travelers who have been on the road constantly for 27 years, which just might be… Read More Between Adventures: Cape Cod to Abington

Two Wheels Spinning on Cape Cod

We’ve ridden bikes on the Cape Cod Rail Trail several times before. On a couple of occasions, we’ve ridden its entire 25.5 mile length; indeed, we’ve even gone farther, all the way to the end of the Cape to camp in a tent in Provincetown before pedaling back the next day. But this time our… Read More Two Wheels Spinning on Cape Cod

Finding Bears in North Carolina

Well, if at first you don’t succeed, try getting up at 5:00 a.m. next time. After a day of attempted bear sighting yesterday at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge turned up mostly bare, we decided to hole up for the night and try another day of it. We arranged to park our RV in the… Read More Finding Bears in North Carolina

Howling with Endangered Red Wolves & Looking for Bears

Hey, how would like to go stalking wild bears? Or maybe even an alligator or a rare and endangered red wolf? You have a possibility of spotting any and all of the above in their own backyard at Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in North Carolina. After ditching our trailer in the parking lot, we… Read More Howling with Endangered Red Wolves & Looking for Bears

Wild Horses Dragged Us Away

Shackleford Banks is a tiny island just off the Outer Banks of North Carolina. There’s really not much there except… well, horses. Yes, wild horses. Dozens of them, descended from beasts that either were abandoned by settlers or, according to legend, survived a Spanish shipwreck centuries ago. Either way, they’re very intriguing and friendly animals… Read More Wild Horses Dragged Us Away

Living Large in 148 Sq Ft

This week, instead of exploring the great outdoors, we explore the great indoors. Which is to say we take you on the grand tour of our RV, a 23 foot Minnie Winnie that actually has about 18 and a half feet of interior, a total of about 148 square feet. But we don’t think of… Read More Living Large in 148 Sq Ft

Finding Gold

Everyone has heard about the California Gold Rush that began in 1848, but did you know that there was a gold rush in North Carolina half a century before that? In 1799, the son of farmer John Reed found a 17 pound nugget here valued at $3600 (which today would be $73,183). Unfortunately, Reed didn’t… Read More Finding Gold

Finding Your Inner Puppet

While in Atlanta, we decided to pay a visit to Kermit and Miss Piggy and Bert and Ernie and a few other old friends. This was at the Center for Puppetry Arts, the largest puppetry center in the nation. It opened in 1978 when Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog cut the ribbon. It combines… Read More Finding Your Inner Puppet

Mining for Diamonds

There’s nothing like a search for buried treasure, and at Crater Of Diamonds State Park you have a chance to search for one of the most valuable treasures of all: diamonds. Not polished and cut, but in their natural state, which makes them more challenging and fun to search for. (Diamonds, by the way, are… Read More Mining for Diamonds

From Dala Horses to Buffalo

Wheat fields, grain silos and thunderstorms. These are all a part of the great Heartland, epitomized by Kansas, and that’s what we drove through this week. We even encountered our share of those thunderstorms (no tornadoes, thanks just the same) and saw some very severe flooding. In the historic little town of Augusta KS, we… Read More From Dala Horses to Buffalo

The Prince and His Servant

The Prince and His Servant from Poland is one of those folk tales that sound like it actually could have happened — or something like it. It’s a tale about betrayal and trickery, with a little plug for literacy thrown in to boot. We come to you from Heber Springs, AR., having just started our summer… Read More The Prince and His Servant

The Corner of Colorful Colorado

Slowly but surely, we make our way across the country. This week we pass through Colorado, where we encounter some snow flurries and the last of the chilly weather we expect to be seeing for some time. On our itinerary is Fort Collins, where the historic Old Town section was part of the inspiration for… Read More The Corner of Colorful Colorado

Salt Flats and Hot Springs

Continuing on our journey across the country, we stopped in Utah to cavort on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats, and then on to Salt Lake City, where we met up with some old friends from the RV-ing community. We also took the time to cool our heels in hot water at the Saratoga Hot Springs.… Read More Salt Flats and Hot Springs

Highway 80 Nevada

It’s time for our annual drive east across the continent. But this time we’re taking more time and maybe a few more detours along the way. We left from Reno, NV., and this week we made our way across the state. We stopped for a night at Rye Patch State Park, where we got in… Read More Highway 80 Nevada
