Representing.

If you need work done to your van (specializes in Roadtreks) or other type of RV (especially battery.solar, etc), go check out in Beavertown, PA. It’s worth the drive.

Hammocks Beach State Park has one of these water bottle refill stations at the bath house. Which is great for when traveling in a can and space is prime. Just reuse and refill a store-bought water jug or a reusable water container. Not only saves on space, but money as well.

Be sure to check out our video (YouTube channel link in bio) on YouTube where we take the van over to the North Carolina coast. We try some great seafood from the Bogue House Restaurant before setting up camp at the new Hammocks Beach State Park campground in Swansboro.

We are thrilled that we got to experience this small state park campground during the off-season as it will be truly difficult to get into during the warmer months.

Be sure to give it a thumbs up and please subscribe if you already aren’t.

The Manistee lighthouse will start having tours in 2026. Thanks to the Sable Points Lighthouse Keepers Association! Yay!

We can’t wait to go up in it. Maybe a video on our YouTube channel too.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT‼ 🥳
We’re thrilled to announce that we have officially acquired the Manistee North Pierhead Lighthouse. This project started one year ago with the City of Manistee and we’re thrilled to announce that as of January 21, 2025, the City Council has approved our partnership and named SPLKA as the operator. Please join us in celebrating the expansion of our mission to 5 lights across four counties along Lake Michigan!

The Manistee North Pierhead Lighthouse will undergo restoration efforts this summer and will be open to the public for the 2026 season.

Say hi to Bingo, our 1 year old Border Collie. Bongo loves to catch frisbees and balls. We think he’s gonna make a great camping and vanlife dog. He loves adventure especially when he can stop and sniff everything.

You will definitely be seeing more of him in our videos on our YouTube channel. We know, everyone will start tuning in just to see him. Oh well.

I think we need to look for the GoPro dog harness we have somewhere to get a glimpse from his point of view. What do you think?

See Bingo (and us) on our YouTube channel as we take on various adventures at thewoodsonline.tv.

This past weekend we took Bingo and the can over to Lexington, NC for some barbecue.

Lexington is supposed to be the prime place for barbecue in North Carolina if you already haven’t heard. So I went online and searched for the best in Lexington. And of course you get various lists, articles and opinions. But, one common denominator was “Lexington Barbecue”. Yes, that’s the actual name of the restaurant. So we got in the van and headed over. The place was packed with a line out the door waiting to be seated just after 1pm on a Saturday. I placed our order over the phone and went inside to pick it up.

We then headed down the road to Boone’s Cave Park. If you follow our YouTube channel, then you may have seen a video I did of it several years ago. There’s a few different versions of what happened there. One was Daniel Boone’s family lived in a cave and another is that he hid out in a cave there, hiding from native americans. Either way, Daniel Boone was there. They do say that he and his family moved over to other side of the Yadkin River and further up. After eating our food and doing review of it, we took Bingo out for a walk on the trails there in the park, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

Be sure to go check out the video on our YouTube channel at thewoodsonline.tv. if you want to see how we rated what is a very popular choice of BBQ from Lexington, NC.
