It's a place that's been on Karen's mental map since high school years when she corresponded with a friend who lived in this tiny town just off the Blue Ridge Parkway and today it a great place to grab a Sunday lunch at the Lake View Restaurant before beginning...
Many times we've stopped at the Wytheville KOA but always for a single night's stay on trips between North Carolina and northeastern Ohio. This time we paused for a long weekend. Got pizza the first night, had an opportunity for a delightful conversation with one of...
A swing back into Ohio wasn't part of our plan until we experienced heavy rains in New York and realized the stargazer wasn't perfectly watertight. So we made a trip to nüCamp by way of Lisbon OH. Fortunately the seal was easily set right. It also gave us the...
What to do on a rainy day in Otsego County? Explore Cooperstown, of course. We first thought of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and that it was the hometown of a high school friend so that's where we headed. Found some on street parking and walked the couple of...
It's Columbus Day Weekend and it's the end of tourist season in NH. With the late autumn foliage this year the colors have not yet peaked but it's time for us visitors to get out of town. Our campground for the last two nights closes at noon on Monday. We chose today...
Stopping by woods on an autumn day, we hobnobbed with the spirit of the poet at The Frost Place in Franconia NH. Robert Frost purchased this house and farm from a local family in 1915 and sold it back to them in 1920. Of the myriad places he lived, from San Francisco...
This Columbus Day weekend is the peak of the Leaf Peeper season here in the White Mountains. Lodgings and campgrounds tend to be filled to capacity by folks who made reservations months ago. We on the other hand opted to arrive yesterday without reservations and hope...
Wow! It seems the colors popped out overnight! We made our way from east of Montpelier on into New Hampshire today glorying in the gorgeous autumn foliage. We stopped by a historic covered bridge along the way. Once we got settled into our campsite, we headed into the...
This afternoon's adventures brought us to a Bragg Farm, an eight generation family Vermont maple farm and sugarhouse. Although it's not maple syrup season, we were still invited to tour the sugar house and to see a video that vastly expanded our knowledge of maple...
Ben & Jerry's in Waterbury, Vermont! It's a place to which we keep coming back. This time we actually got to not only do the factory tour but we were able to see the ice cream production floor in operation for the first time. We topped off the experience with Ben...
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.

On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
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. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
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.
