A nüCamp Day

Late in this trip our T@B's ALDE system's reservoir developed a leak. That gave us one more good reason to come to northeastern Ohio. We contacted Austin and made arrangements to bring Gigi back to the factory for repair this morning. It gave us the chance to also see...

Chilly Morning 

Chilly Morning 

Woke up to temperatures in the low forties, gray skies, and lots of condensation along the metal trim in the clamshell kitchen. We figured out long ago that regardless of how cold it is outside that we have to open both the ceiling fan vent and the window at the foot...

Into Ohio

Into Ohio

It was a rainy trip from Bloomington to Richmond, Indiana. After setup on Site 5 at the KOA, we discussed the feasibility of preparing dinner then invoked the "That's why God made restaurants!" comment that we use when curious people ask about cooking in the clamshell...

Under an Umbrella 

Under an Umbrella 

The rain did pretty much hold off until we were able to get Gigi situated in her temporary spot. With Eric at Midas we ventured out under the umbrella to see what opportunities the area afforded. Haircuts at Great Clips. Electronic musings at Best Buy. Soup and salad...

It looks promising this morning. The weather app suggests no rain for at least the next two hours!  How wonderful! We spent all afternoon, all evening, and all night tucked inside our cozy T@B with its clamshell kitchen while thunderstorms raged outside. We did get...

Burgh House Hampstead

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
