After last night's discovery of water problems we made an early morning call to the plumber. Based on the information we offered over the phone he suggested we probably needed the well guys, not a plumber. So we called Greene Brothers. This is the organization that...
Our plans have changed. Our route has changed. We've been planning to mosey our way south to Tween Creeks to enjoy home for at least a few days knowing that we may need to travel to Florida soon. Then last night David called and asked a favor. Could we come to Canton...
We enjoyed Greg's company this morning before it was time for him to head to the office. Rachel's new schedule has her at home working on other projects on Mondays so we had time for some interesting discussions with her as we organized ourselves for departure. Part...
Our hostess Karen grew up here. She and her husband John were married in St Petersburg where they were business owners, raised their three boys, and were important members of the community. But Karen's heart is here in New Sweden. She is part of the community of...
We've been consistently traveling east since we left Geneva, on Lake Erie, in Ohio. Today we trekked northward from Houlton, up US-1 into the interior, up to the Crown of Maine. Long stretches of highway through woodlands and farmlands. Lots of potato farms. Spudland....
We'd been talking about getting new shoes, then last night it became imperative. Steve's sole separated from his shoe. We identified a store in Bangor that carried the brands that we prefer so before heading into the remoter areas of Maine, we made a stop to re-shoe...
We started the day by meeting JE and friends at Maxi's in Waterbury for a delicious breakfast. Have you ever heard of stuffed pancakes? And a tour of the T@B while it was parked at curbside. Then in the company of Jean Elizabeth we drove just a few blocks to Ben &...
We broke camp this morning and headed toward Glens Falls and beyond into Vermont. We found a campsite at Duxbury Country Store and Campground, a tiny little place but we still had folks who wanted to see our little camper. We ended up running late for our trip into...
Today's our Fortieth Anniversary! And we are enjoying a fabulous celebration. We woke up in Adirondack Park in a room with a view of beautiful Lake Piseco. First order of business was to travel into Speculator for our annual Steak & Eggs breakfast at the Sunrise...
We left Sacandaga this morning with some angst about finding a campsite this holiday weekend with out reservations. Last night the rangers who had checked us in told us to come back to the rangers station in the morning and they would help us get a reservation at one...

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.

Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
