This is a return to a memorable place. The last time we stayed here at the COE Outflow Campground on Mae West Road at Confluence PA we toured the area, visiting the National Road, Fort Necessity, and Ohiopyle, as well as treating ourselves to soft freeze ice cream....

Road Trip
The Air Heritage Museum
The more we learn about family history as well as American History, the more we are fascinated by places like this. The Air Heritage Museum in Beaver Falls PA is an all volunteer organization devoted to the preservation and restoration of historically significant...
The Joys of KOA
Our home tonight is the Mercer/Grove City KOA in western Pennsylvania chosen for its proximity to tomorrow's adventure, the promise of decent laundry facilities, and the ease of making a reservation through the KOA app. Yes, we love public campgrounds, they are often...
Exploring Kent
Yesterday and today we've had the pleasure of Emily's company as we've explored the area of Kent and Cuyahoga Falls OH. Yesterday the costume shop closed early and she joined us for a delicious lunch at Mike's Place, a delightful eatery in Kent with multiple themes...
Anything Goes
Tonight was Opening Night of the 50th Season at the Porthouse Theater in Cuyahoga Falls OH and thanks to Emily we enjoyed front row seats for Anything Goes! It's a delightful madcap story that first opened on Broadway in November 1934. It's based on a book by Guy...
Blissful Quiet
About four hours ago we successfully found Silver Spring Campground in Stowe OH, situated ourselves on a shady site and settled in. After lunch and a nap we're enjoying salubrious silence. At mid-week the campground is virtually empty so we have the pleasure of...
Are We Lost?
After great visits with our family in Canton, with our nüCamp family in Sugarcreek, and with Chris, our hostess at the KOA in East Sparta, we headed out on the next leg of our Summer Ramble. After consulting the All Stays App we set the GPS for a Stow OH city park...
Out and About
The last time we visited Sugarcreek our dear friends Elsie and Sarah invited us to their house for homemade Rhubarb Pie and Garden Tea. Tonight we invited them to join us for dinner and requested they choose a restaurant new to all of us. Malcuit's Tavern in Strasburg...
Another T@B 400 Mod
It's what we do. More specifically, it's what Steve does. The self described "back sliding engineer" is constantly assessing our T@B 400's design looking for ways to improve its usability. This latest change eliminates the need to totally disassemble to dinette in...
Travel Traditions
Although today's departure wasn't until afternoon we still stopped for a pre-departure meal at Bojangles. Usually we indulge in a breakfast biscuit sandwich but this time the sandwiches were grilled chicken. From there we headed to Wytheville and a KOA with which we...
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
Valley Pasture Farm
Last night we had the distinct pleasure of being guests of Katie & Scott at Valley Pasture Farm in Elk Mound, Wisconsin as a part of the Harvest Hosts program. We are so grateful for the opportunity to renew our annual membership year after year and thus have...
Thomson to Oakdale
This trip we've slowed down considerably. In general we're looking to drive less than three hours between stops and generally stay for three or four days. Today's the first day of a transition. We're leaving Thomson Causeway Campground, an Army COE site on an island...
A Day in Galena
After a mere twenty hours of extra driving, we're back on track after our trek to Ohio and our return trek to Illinois. We did most of the trip on Sunday with an overnight at the Kanakee South KOA Holiday near Chebanse, Illinois. Then on Monday we settled in for three...
