Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.
Enjoy exploring, and leave us comments! We love hearing from you. And if you’d like to follow us, Subscribe by signing up at the bottom of this page.
Uncovered
While we have been spending the winter scanning old paper records and memorabilia - over eight thousand images so far, Sc@rlett has been snoozing under her cover. When our local friends would ask us, "When's the next trip?", we've responded that we don't have anything...
Magic Amplified
It's been twelve years since I read this tale of music and magic, evil and courage set in Cornwall. Last time I read it in paperback format in the 1990's. In the intervening years the two of us have been making the transition to a digital library so this time I read...

Up Our Road
An internet article published in August of last year described a plan to bring high speed internet to our neighborhood. Western Carolina University who is our electricity provider has entered into a contract with Morris Broadband to bring high speed internet to the...
A Technology Boost
Every so often we need to get out of our technology comfort zone and move to the next level. We'd been resisting making the move to a computer on our wrists until Apple announced the Series 4 watch. Karen got one in December and quickly fell in love with many of its...
At the Library
Jackson County Public Library is hosting a four lecture series entitled "Asian Philosophy in the Public Square" by Michelle Sorenson, a professor at nearby Western Carolina University. The two of us are fans of public libraries but have to admit we've not taken nearly...
In a Mood to Dye
It’s mid-winter and we’re digging deep into closets and pulling out papers in need of scanning and yarns in need of dyeing. The first project is an indoor project, ideal for winter days but the other is best on prettier days. Rain or bitter cold is less than ideal but...
