We've both visited the Great Salt Lake. Steve remembers swimming here when his family toured The West in their brand new '56 Chevy sedan and Karen trekked through the snow to gaze at this salty lake when her family came here to visit family at Christmas '65 in their...

2014 West then East
Twin Falls
Last night we relaxed in the amazing waters of Miracle Hot Springs. This morning we left in search of breakfast but found two geocaches on our way to Jackson Kountry Korner for Steak and Eggs. (We like celebrating our anniversary all summer long.). Poked around there...
You Could See for Miles and Miles…
If not for the wildfire haze. There are several sagebrush fires in the vicinity so the views of this beautiful scenery from US20E are all hazy. Headed from Crystal Crane Hot Springs in Oregon to Miracle Hot Springs in Idaho on the recommendation of our campground...
Sweet Home, Oregon
After five geocache finds this morning we packed up and headed east. Passed through Sweet Home and commented on the name than a few minutes later we heard the song "Singing Sweet Home Alabama All Summer Long" playing on Sirius. Outside of town we couldn't help...
Quiet Morning
We don't need to be anywhere until noon, so we took this morning to review the mail that we picked up yesterday and do some housekeeping in the cab of the truck and the trailer. This Salt Lake City KOA site is the sunniest in the whole park in the afternoon so we...
Adding Idaho
It's a conversation piece! We put an outline map of the US on the port side of the T@B a couple of days ago and had a grand time of adding the 25 stickers that represent the states that we have visited in the 11 ½ months that we've been traveling in this tiny trailer....
The Oregon Scenic Byway
Spent the day traveling east on US Highway 20. This sounds suspiciously like a blog entry from last summer when we traveled 20 through the wine country of New York's Finger Lakes. But today we traveled through the Willamette Valley, the Cascade Mountains, and...
Twin Falls Mail Stop
We and our mail have finally ended up in the same place at the same time. In fact it arrived at The UPS Store here just six minutes before we walked through the door! Our mail is being forwarded to a UPS store in Franklin NC. Periodically we contact them and ask them...
Teardrop Travelers
We've just left Oregon and are in Idaho! Pulled into the Welcome Center and spied a little teardrop trailer very similar to the Silver Shadow we traveled in for four years! We introduced ourselves to Kim and Marla for a while before heading in the direction of our...
Where the Sidewalk Ends
For the last few days we have been having great fun geocaching. it has taken us off the beaten path and made us appreciate more of our surroundings. We're traveling slowly, stopping in small towns, and noticing things we might otherwise have missed. One cache entitled...
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
Caligula at Strawberry Hill
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
Imperial War Museum
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.
