Both Sc@rlett and Eric the Red have spent the Spring getting covered in pollen and then these two days have been collecting road grime. So our first stop in Sugarcreek was at the self service car wash. While we were waiting for the taller and wider bay to become...
First night out. Full hookups so we can flush and sanitize our fresh water tank. Trying Saniclean instead of bleach this time. Also taking time to nest. Many of the things we knew we needed to take just got bundled or bagged and put into the wardrobe. Now it's time to...
The time has come and we are on the move. Just as the day lilies, the coreopsis, and the leeks are blooming and the butterflies and hummingbirds are visiting the fuschia, we are headed out. It's a lovely time of year in the North Carolina mountains but the road is...
Our friends Patrick & Patty are the YouTube stars of our T@B 400 community with with their every Monday video about T@B 400 features or T@B travel adventures not to mention their fun Mid Week Update every Thursday and their Wine Down Friday videos on Facebook....
Three miles before breakfast has become our routine. At the house over the winter we've made the walk inside the house, walking circuits around furniture and through the various downstairs rooms or back and forth along the upstairs hall sometimes even up and down the...
It's a long drive from the mountains of western North Carolina to the beach in South Carolina. Don't ask us why we chose to make the trip in just one day for we have no good answer for that question. But we can say that some good things happened along the way. As we...
While we have been spending the winter scanning old paper records and memorabilia - over eight thousand images so far, Sc@rlett has been snoozing under her cover. When our local friends would ask us, "When's the next trip?", we've responded that we don't have anything...
When you walk into an eating establishment and you spot photos of Guy Fieri, you think you might be in for a treat. Indeed we had a fine dinner this evening at St Petersburg, Florida’s Metro Diner. This chain of diners offering amazing comfort food had it's beginnings...
It seems that if you go to Cuba folks back home expect that you will come home with Cuban cigars and rum. We were able to easily find some Havana Club rum both aged and white at a shop in the cruise terminal, one bottle of each and we were at our limit for US Customs...
Times change. When we were kids growing up in St Petersburg, Florida, shuffleboard was a past-time reserved for the old folks. Well sorta. As youngsters we sometimes played at playing the game but it was the retirees that took the game seriously. Then about a dozen or...
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.

“Build it and they will come.” It's the theme of the 1989 movie, Field of Dreams which we watched shortly after our teenaged son read W.P. Kinsella's novel, Shoeless Joe. Through the years we've rewatched this film quite a few times fascinated with the historical...
Effigy Mounds Video The 10:30AM Ranger led Fire Point Hike at Effigy Mounds National Monument near Harper's Ferry, Iowa was well worth the effort to leave our campsite early this morning. Located adjacent to Iowa's section of the Great River Road overlooking the...
Together we’ve crossed the Mississippi River countless times via bridges. A few years ago at Lake Itasca we did it across stepping stones. Today Karen did it on a stand up paddle board! Ever since our first experience trying a stand up paddle board in Wisconsin, Karen...
