This morning as we ate breakfast, we pulled out the Canada map we acquired yesterday at AAA and began to figure out where we could go over the next couple of months. Do we want to venture into Canada now and head west through the provinces? We'd already begun to...
Who could resist an opportunity to enjoy ice cream prepared on site within sight of the dairy cows that produce the raw materials for this delicious frozen confection? Not us! Sally proposed a trip to Moomer's and we said "Yes!" We recall having tasted this great ice...
It's always great fun to have a local guide who can take you to their favorite spots but it's also fun when they are willing to try out a new place with you. Today at lunchtime we and Sally did just that. We headed to North Peak Brewery. When we saw the sign for...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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.

In 1997 East Grand Forks, Minnesota, and its big sister city, Grand Forks, North Dakota were devastated by a major flood of the Red River of the North. Nearly every home was damaged and whole neighborhoods were wiped out. One local told us that everyone in the area...
Besides short travel days and longer stays, this trip is also remarkable in that we don’t have a destination. It’s about exploration especially of the small towns scattered across the country. And we’re finding a lot of city park campgrounds often located within easy...
When we first arrived at Arnold’s Campground RV Park in International Falls, Minnesota, we learned Amanda had arrived just minutes before us. Set up was minimal, just plug into shore power and put down stabilizers before setting up our chairs in the shade. Right away...
