Our desire to explore won out. After a morning in the campground we headed out. This afternoon Docent Lisa greeted us in the living room of the Mardy & Olaus Murie House, part of The Murie Ranch, an enclave within Grand Teton National Park. Although we had not...
When it became evident to us that a visit to Grand Tetons could in fact fit into our eastbound itinerary, we focused on Gros Ventre Campground. One of its charms is that all 300 campsites are first come first served. There's no one here who made their reservation...
Last evening we enjoyed pizza and live music at Portneuf Valley Brewing in Pocatello, Idaho within easy walking distance then settled in for a pleasant overnight. This morning as we were starting our day in the parking lot of The Museum of Clean we noticed a lone Jeep...
Late in the first week of April 1988 we stopped by a bookstore in a tiny town in South Carolina and purchased a copy of Clutter's Last Stand by Don Aslett. By reading that book, we totally changed our relationship with our things and began the process of becoming...
On Chicken Dinner Road in Caldwell, Idaho, we found a treasure in the form of Huston Vineyards. As members of Harvest Hosts we were welcomed and made to feel at home. In the Tasting Room we sampled five amazing Idaho wines and decided to purchase some Chicken Dinner...
What a fabulous find! The brown sign on US-95 indicated Charbonneau Grave Site 3 miles. There are two possible routes from Crane to Caldwell. We chose the southern option, OR-78 to US-95, for no particular reason other than it seems we traveled US-20 east from Crane...
Five years after our first visit to Crystal Crane Hot Springs, we no longer remember how we learned about this delightful spot out in the middle of nowhere south of Burns, Oregon but we do remember the smoke from a sage brush fire obscuring the view. This time we...
Choosing a route across southern Oregon means traveling through The northern reaches of the starkly beautiful and sparsely populated Great Basin Desert also referred to by geologists as The Basin and Range Province. Long highways and vast open spaces are dotted with...
Today's route from Ana Reservoir RV Park to Crystal Crane has taken us through some wide open spaces around Table Rock Mountain along Christmas Valley Highway in the northern reaches of the Great Basin desert. This time we knew that we'd find a little oasis in the...
As we made our decision to begin trekking east today we set our sights on Grants Pass, Oregon in the southwestern part of the state for an overnight. We arrived at Schroeder County Park mid afternoon, chose the nicely hedged and shaded Site 23, and self registered....

While we were partying at Tween Creeks, our Redford our trusty red Ford F-150 was in the shop in Waynesville, NC. Even as we were finishing up with the after party clean-up at the vacation rental technicians were finishing up the trifecta of repairs that the truck...
In the beginning in 1992 Deck Day was a low-key, let's just spend the whole day out on the pool deck with a friend that grew year by year into an amazing annual gathering of family and friends from all over the country. Last year we announced our plans to host just...
Since Redford, our 2016 Ford F-150 is in the shop for a week we were fortunate that Jim, a dear friend and fellow T@B owner offered to hitch Bell@, our T@B 400 to his truck and deliver her to our next stop. It turned out to be not quite seamless. Jim's trailer has the...
