One of the reasons that Greg & Rachel chose to move their brood from the big city to a small town was the opportunity to produce some of their own food. Along that line they have joined a chicken co-op in the neighborhood. Yesterday Greg helped build the coop and...
Skipping stones is a skill that has been passed from father to son for generations. Now for Greg, Rachel and family, their new home in western Massachusetts is giving the boys a better than ever opportunity to develop their skills at a local park nearby. We're...
When we arrived at Timbercrest nearly three weeks ago, we were shown a Killdeer nest in the middle of the gravel in the campsite across from ours, four black and white speckled eggs, and a very frantic parent trying to distract us from the nest with a characteristic...
Sometimes the stars align just right. This evening we followed the directions given to Wendy, John, and Michael, by Peter Pan, “There it is Wendy. Second star to the right then straight on ‘til morning.” Thus we traveled, guided by a troupe of young dancers, to...
It's the newest addition to our T@B lifestyle. We invested in an Isabella T@B 400 Sun Canopy from All Pro Adventures. Manufactured in Denmark, this canopy has been designed specifically for the T@B 400 and is remarkably sturdy and well made. Because All Pro Adventures...
Another rendezvous at TimberCrest and another T@B 400 & Red F-150 Combo! Amanda with Bert, her trusty tow vehicle, arrived towing Ameli@, her home on wheels, after a harrowing drive from Wytheville VA through snow flurries the whole way. Remember that Amanda is a...
A week ago we backed Sc@rlett into our son’s driveway and commenced a delightful visit that has involved so many great activities. We helped plant seeds for this year’s herb and vegetable garden, roasted S’Mores with granddaughters in the backyard over our new Solo...
Today we celebrate! We received our second vaccine doses two weeks ago today. We invited Steve, our neighbor and pod member, to join us as we headed to the deck, opened a bottle of bubbly, and shouted “Freedom!” We then crafted some spritzers and enjoyed conversation...
Today we've done two of the things that we do every Spring, bring the hammock out of storage and begin to prepare the trailer for travel. It's another gorgeous sunshiny day and once we hooked the hammock onto it's stand we just had to give it a test run. Truly, with...
Over the last year we've spent many a happy evening in the company of Mary & Steve, our neighbors, our pod members. Beginning in mid-March we all adopted the practice of limiting our contacts, social distancing, masking wearing, and staying home as much as...

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.

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation.
