Last night Sally was talking about the possibility of treating herself to a Canadian Rockies Train trip for an upcoming birthday. We thought it would be fun to go with her to the Traverse City AAA to begin the planning process. And the two of us took the opportunity...

Harrington’s by the Bay
One of the delights of hanging out with Sally is finding great places to eat. We chose Harrington's By the Bay on the shore of Grand Traverse Bay where each of us chose some delicious version of Fish & Chips as we relished the view from our waterfront window booth...
Traverse City State Park
Once we were set up at Traverse City State Park across the highway from Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay, Sally drove out to meet us and to get a tour of Sc@rlett. She hasn't seen our specific version of the nüCamp T@B 400. However she did see Penelope, the prototype we...
Michigan Fun
Heading from Hartland Winery to Traverse City State Park we're beginning our Michigan adventures with a rest area geocache find near Kalamazoo. We're looking forward to a fun visit with Sally before heading to the Upper Peninsula and our westward trek.
Ashley’s Smiling Face
As we were making our way back to I-69 to continue our northward trek we learned that the town of Ashley, Indiana is famous for its yellow water tower with a big smiley face and black bow tie. We did a brief detour to get a better look and marked it as "Been There" on...
Setting Up with Slushies
Tonight we're Harvest Host guests at Hartland Winery in Ashley, Indiana. When we arrived just before five this Saturday evening, the place was already hopping even before Autumn Grey took the stage. We got some Peach Wine Slushies and proceeded to set our T@B in place...
North of Knoxville
We've stayed here before, in fact it was ten years ago this month, on the first leg of our 35th Anniversary cross country tent camping trip. This time at the Clinton/Knoxville North KOA we're sandwiched in between big RVs in a full hookups pull through site. Usually...
Sony A5100
A few experiences last year made us realize that our 2004 Canon EOS 20D is a bit dated. Therefore we have been talking for a while about making the move to a mirrorless camera which would be lighter, more compact, and more advanced than the fabulous workhorse we've...
Back to Normal
Karen arrived home from Ireland very very late on Monday and proceeded to begin the recovery from the effects of the five hour time change. Steve packed up the four boxes of photos that he scanned while she was gone in preparation to ship them to Greg for long term...
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Portland Port & Weymouth
Our brief stop in Portland Port in Dorset, England yielded just enough time to get a tiny taste of the historic town of Weymouth, a Cream Tea, and a desire to return.
Cobh on Our Own
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
Belfast and the Titanic
After a guided bus tour of the City of Belfast we visited the Titanic Belfast Museum located at the Harlan & Wolff shipyard where the great ship was built.
