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
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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
Fenton House and Spaniards Inn
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.
London Transport Museum
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Excursion to Bath, England
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
