When we checked in to the campground office here in Glimmerglass State Park near Cooperstown, New York, the ranger suggested we visit the Hyde Hall Covered Bridge, the oldest covered bridge in the country. So we made the short hike from the campground this morning....

Glimmerglass
Yesterday afternoon we pulled into Glimmerglass State Park near Cooperstown in upstate NY and got Campsite 37. It's spacious, surrounded by woods, and outside the campground loop so we're separated a bit from other campers yet close enough to the facilities. This...
Brattleboro
Our route today is taking us across southern Vermont. We paused to unsuccessfully search for a geocache but loved exploring the covered bridge in Brattleboro. Just outside of town we did indeed discover a cache near the Chelsea Royal Diner and took the opportunity to...
Oxbow
After yesterday's adventures, we settled in on Site 70 at Oxbow Campground near Hillsborough NH. It's a pretty little family owned place with spacious sites and friendly folks. Our overnight in New Hampshire qualifies us for a new state sticker, our first since...

A Friendly Break
Enroute from Middleborough to Dorchester we availed ourselves of the opportunity to visit an old favorite. There was a Friendly's Ice Cream in DeLand when we lived there years ago. We enjoyed many a meal there when the kids were grade school aged. Today we feasted on...
Saturday Morning at the KOA
We got home to the KOA in Middleboro last night to discover a population explosion had occurred in our absence. It looks like all sites are occupied. There's a tent city that blossomed just behind our trailer. It's an end of summer celebration! Everyone wants to...
The Pike
We spent as much time as possible traveling east on US-20 enjoying the scenery and snagging a couple of caches this morning. Â We finally got to the point though that navigating the back roads with a GPS program that cannot be set to avoid the interstate got too...
Pittsfield State Forest
Spent last night at a new campground in Pittsfield SF. Nice roomy level site in the woods! Excellent comfort station. No electricity. Mosquitoes. Thunderstorm. The big frustration was the lack of signage that led up a very narrow mountain road going the wrong way with...
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.
