To escape Cleveland's winter, former reporter Florence Heckel Russell and her husband head South in their new RV. When they return after spending months together in a 23-by-8 foot space, they are, miraculously, still married.
From Mammoth Cave to Carlsbad Caverns, the couple adjusts to close-quarter living as they stumble through adventures: fun, frustrating and at times downright scary. Along the way Florence muses on the foibles of life:
• Amateur Photographers
• The Gate Nazi
• Exercising: Filling ice cube trays isn't enough?
• Marfa's mystery lights
• The deadly desert
• Grocery shopping
• Chuck wagon cooks
