Once upon a time two and a half years ago we met a gaggle of dancers from Madison WI in the cruise terminal in Tampa as we were preparing to embark on the Norwegian Star for the annual Savoy at Sea swing dance cruise. We all had a fabulous week together and repeated...
We arrived at Karen & John's in Madison WI just in time to join Karen & Melissa for a trip downtown for a Concert on the Square. The area around the state capitol is crowded with folks in lawn chairs and on picnic blankets awaiting the evening's entertainment...
We were tickled by this sign painted on a barn roof. We'd like to congratulate Darlene on her 70th Birthday but also her honey who climbed up on the roof to paint this message for this birthday but also the one ten years earlier!
Nice overnight! It's a beautiful campsite in a great state park. We need to explore it further! Southeast Minnesota is beautiful this time of year. So glad that we've finally made it to this state and can add the sticker to our map!
We started the morning poking around Luverne MN looking for geocaches. Before long we'd logged our 100th Find, at a library no less! Luverne! Friendly people! Parked the truck and trailer alongside the road, got out to search for a cache and a concerned resident asked...
Another of the two hundred parks listed in National Geographic's book of best state parks presented itself to us this evening. Blue Mound just north of Luverne MN practically jumped out into the middle of the road and insisted we stop for the night. It's a beautiful...
We visited Pipestone National Monument today. Though we'd not known about the park, we've known about it's product and a bit about it's significance in Native American culture. The peace pipe is carved from stone found only here. This is sacred land where these...
We pulled into the Sioux Falls KOA this evening to discover another T@B! We were situated catercorner behind one another and later in the evening got to visit with Raul & Cheryl and compare notes. Theirs is nine months newer and has some of the updated features....
We remembered this eatery from our 2008 trip and set the GPS to lead us to Al's Oasis. At's an iconic restaurant just off I-90 at Oacoma SD. I's a pretty comprehensive travelers rest stop: fuel, groceries, souvenirs, lodging, camping, and restaurant. Been there nearly...
We found ourselves being led by an Oversize Load escort! And we thought the T@B was a tiny trailer!
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.

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
