Much of the conversion with Emily over dinner last evening was about her role in building the glittering gold costumes for the finale of Music Theater Wichita’s A Chorus Line that opened yesterday. Fortunately for us Emily had access to tickets and we three enjoyed...
Today was Witchita with Em, a fabulous opportunity to get a taste of Wichita with a local guide. True, Emily has only lived here since May, but she knows her way around and yet is still exploring the place herself. After a fab breakfast at Doo Dah Diner on Kellogg...
What a welcome to Wichita! The fact that we've got someone dear to us working in Wichita this summer influenced our route this trip and luck had us arriving at a fortuitous time, Emily has some time off from work to hang out with us this afternoon and tomorrow! After...
What an amazing experience! We spent this morning deep underground in a salt mine. We ordered our Strataca tickets yesterday for a 9:40AM tour this morning. Turns out it’s more admission time. After being issued hard hats, our ride with 26 others in a double decker...
It would have been an awesome campsite at a cooler time of the year. As Harvest Hosts members, we were granted permission to stay overnight last night at the Strataca Salt Mine Museum in Hutchinson, Kansas within sight of mining equipment and rail cars. Just a parking...
Museum Tour Video It seems there’s much more to do in central Kansas than we realized. We stopped at Fort Riley only to learn that the US Calvary Museum is currently closed for renovation. The good news is that gave us time to say “Let’s stop!” when we passed a brown...
Although we were not wearing Ruby Slippers when we found a yellow brick road across from the City Park in Wamego, Kansas, we headed off to see the Wizard at the Oz Museum, the Emerald Green building on Lincoln Avenue. Lighthearted and historical all at once, this...
It’s just a little tiny RV park on the edge of Wamego, Kansas right next door to a Caterpillar manufacturing facility. Calvin's RV Camping offers full hookups, a laundry room, a storm shelter, and a friendly host couple who were enchanted with our T@B. We chose to...
When choosing a restaurant for a Birthday Meal, it’s a good idea to search Yelp! for Desserts. That strategy lead us to The Keeping Room in Nebraska City, Nebraska. We parked the T@B on a street parallel to Central Avenue and walked to the restaurant. Not many people...
It’s been a good two night stay here at the West Omaha KOA. We’d been pleased when we were able to get Saturday night reservations online just a couple of days before the weekend then when we called and could not get Friday night also, we weren’t surprised. Then when...
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.

Bigger than the state of Delaware, Big Bend encompasses three distinct ecological systems - desert, river, and mountains. Volcanoes shaped this landscape hundreds of millions of years ago. This has been an amazing experience in Big Bend National Park with a three...
It was fifty years ago, on our first visit to Texas that we first heard about the Hill Country but our travels through Texas tended to take us a more northern route to always to include a visit with family. These last couple of days we’ve enjoyed immersing ourselves...
Galveston, Oh Galveston!. Yes, we've got that song stuck in our heads as we visit this historic Texas town for the first time. A visit to the Texas Gulf Coast has been on our list for a very long time. We were fortunate to snag a two night reservation at Galveston...
