We continued to poke our way up the Pacific Coast Highway enjoying the sights and the geocache searches, hiking, and gazing at the awesome Pacific. Early afternoon we happened upon a KOA and made a quick decision to stop for the night. That way we can defer the...
Back in Petaluma fellow T@B travelers from Vancouver BC told us that if we got to Florence on the Oregon coast, that we should get Clam Chowder at Mo's. We did and we did but only because Hwy 42S east of Bandon was closed. Drat! That meant that we had to travel a...
We thought we'd move up the coast just a bit and snag a site in Harris Bay State Park over the border near Brookings, Oregon. Silly us. It may be a weekday but it's July and by the time we got there the campground was full. So we pedaled on a bit and got a site at the...
Not the tropical island of Rum and Coca Cola fame, but a delightful northern California beach town. We hiked to and explored the one of the state park beaches with impressive rocks and volcanic sand then sought out an indie restaurant that served delicious seafood -...
We found it! We're staying the two weekend nights at the KOA in Eureka CA. Started Saturday with brunch at The Hangar Cafe, a little hole in the wall at the municipal airport. Great corned beef hash! Then found a little barbershop and Steve got a haircut. Anyone...
Even as we are decamping here in Burlington Campground we are scouting out the best campsites for our next visit. Perhaps it will be 50, just adjacent to where we slept last night. It's got a great tree with a goose pen, meaning it has been hollowed out by a series of...
Two geocaches and a third trip to The Chimney Tree Grill... Over the last couple of years we have tagged along on some of Lou's geocache adventures in New Orleans, Boston, and Bedford. We finally signed up and she assisted us on our first find in Half Moon Bay. Today...
A little off the beaten path we found Rockefeller Loop, another grove of ancient trees but fewer tourists. For a while we had it to ourselves. Here oxalis grows on the forest floor like a lush green carpet. We got off the loop trail to follow the Burlington Trail for...
Just off The Avenue of Giants is Founder's Grove with a nice interpreted nature trail and a docent. This place is dedicated to the men who fought to save the remaining ancient Redwoods beginning in the early part of the twentieth century. Only a very small percentage...
One of the things we have learned this trip is limits of the T@B refrigerator. If we are off grid for only one night we are fine as long as we turn it off overnight. We're also good running the fridge when using the solar panels for several hours a day and turning off...
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.

Today’s excursion to The Victoria & Albert Museum established in 1857 gave us a glimpse into the Victorian world and a chance to see some glorious originals and copies up close.
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
To meet up with some family members for the weekend, we headed north to explore Ely one day then Lavenham the next, two incredible historic communities.
