Our task for today is to enjoy our surroundings as we wait to learn when we can bring Eric in for his new device. It's been a pleasant morning. Some sun, some clouds, moderate temperatures, a good amount of shade as long as we are willing to move our chairs every so...

CJ and Phil suggested we rendezvous at the Fountain Square Mall in downtown Bloomington. After an initial round of hugs we headed to The Irish Lion, a restored 1882 tavern where we visited over a round of libations and a couple of small plates before moving on to...

Our first foray into Missouri cas come to an end. We've enjoyed the experiences we've had on this short visit and look forward to an opportunity to visit for a fortnight or more. We didn't get the chance this trip to even visit St Louis much less dig into its history...

After a lovely morning with friends in Arkansas we ventured north into Missouri. We paused for an overnight at Happy Trails RV Park, a dinner at Elm Street Eatery, and a geocache at the public library in Lebanon, Missouri. Although our route of travel is primarily...

A second evening in Bloomington! A second rendezvous at Fountain Square Mall. This time a chance to photograph a fun yarn bomb and the opportunity to dine at Farm Bloomington. Creativity, quality, and local products are hallmarks of this independent eatery. We started...

Paynetown SRA near Bloomington was our second stop as we headed out for our 2016 Summer Ramble. In June we had reserved Site 22. This time, nearly four months later, we're assigned to Site 54. In the meantime it's been a great circle across the northern tier, down...

This is a perfect example of the cool spots we find while geocaching. The World's Largest Rocker was a Guinness record holder from 2008 to 2016! It sits along Route 66 near the Fanning Feed Store which just recently closed for good but which sports a delightful...

Well, today didn't go exactly according to plan. That check engine light on Eric's dashboard turns out to indicate a catalytic converter going bad. Bloomington Ford suggested we drive back to North Carolina for repair since they wouldn't be able to get the part until...

Our home for the evening was on the shore of Lake Carlyle in a Army Corps of Engineers campground with the most unoriginal name of Dam West. It was a pleasant place to pause for the night or to linger for several days. And it was a beautiful place from which to view...

Today we completed our 48th state visit in our T@B since July 2013! Our rule is that at a minimum we must stay overnight and do something fun while in the state. Last night we stayed near Lebanon MO and today we visited the Stonehenge at Rolla, a half-scale replica of...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours!

Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.
