For the past several years we have traveled with a Zamp 80W solar panel suitcase and found ourselves underpowered in dry camping situations. One issue in our smaller T@B was that the battery was undersized when paired with a 12V refrigerator, even with its efficient...
One more stop on the journey back to our house. A couple of years ago we were one of the first to find a geocache placed at this rest area west of Waynesville NC. Today we learned there's another cache here but we opted not to scramble up to retrieve it. Sometimes...
One year ago today we signed the papers and hitched a brand new custom built T@B 400 to Eric the Red. Since then we've lived in this gem for more than five months, 159 nights to be exact, and have driven to, stayed in, and visited at least one point of interest in...
Ten days ago when we exited the Blue Ridge Parkway at Laurel Springs NC, we passed Wild Woody's Campground & Antiques. Instead of stopping we started researching and making plans. We learned that it had been featured on North Carolina Weekend. Now we're headed...
After an overnight at Coshocton KOA we headed south. So many times we have driven the West Virginia Turnpike between Princeton and Parkersburg and seen a sign for Pipestem Resort State Park. So many times we've commented that some day we need go there. Today's the day...
It's been a great visit to nüCamp late last week and the early part of this week. We stayed in a courtesy site so we could turn our T@B over to Austin first thing Monday morning for installation of tank heaters. Over the past couple of days, we have had many a good...
It's just for an overnight but when we learned our T@B would be at nüCamp until sometime tomorrow for installation of tank heaters, we took the advice of a local friend and booked a room at The Wall House Hotel. It's lovely ultra contemporary accommodations seem to...
When we learned that our great friends Michael & Jeff we available to meet us for dinner tonight we headed for Deer Creek State Park so we could rendezvous in Mount Sterling. We gathered around the round table in the window corner of Ben & Joy’s Restaurant...
Today we headed to Wytheville yet again. After five nights on the road it's time for one night in a full service campground. We’re ready for a propane tank refill (it was only a quarter full when we left and we used it for heat on some cold nights), for a laundry...
As we were headed toward Linville Falls along the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC we saw a Cirrus truck camper traveling in the other direction. When returned to the campground we drove around hoping to see it. Sure enough, it was parked on the other side of the circle....
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.

The crazy detour, from Illinois to Ohio, for warranty work on our little teardrop camper, has another benefit. We get to enjoy a weekend with family, moochdocking in our son's driveway, lunch out on a summer's day with our granddaughters while the parents are at work,...
The two of us left from üCamp on the 20th of last month to begin our 2021 Summer Ramble and over the course of thirty days had had adventures in just three states. From eastern central Ohio we'd traveled and explored parts of Indiana then on to Illinois. At Starved...
After our short hike to the top of Starved Rock, we headed into the nearby town of Ottawa, Illinois. After learning that the museum we wanted to visit was closed on Tuesdays, we headed to our real destination, Bill Polancic's Meats. Independent food emporiums like...
