Sometimes it's more appropriate to put the trailer in storage. Our plan is to visit family in Boston for a long weekend. Driving in with our F-150 is stressful enough, it's definitely not sane to pull a camping trailer through those narrow streets. This time we have...
It's been on our list for decades and today we visited Mystic Seaport Museum. Knowing we'd be dodging raindrops and frustrated by not enough time we immersed ourselves in a visit. We toured the 1841 built whaler the Charles W. Morgan and learned about the whaling...
On Boston Post Road in southern Connecticut is a Guilford cultural institution, Bishop's Orchard Market is the face of a farm and orchards that has been family run and operated for nearly one hundred fifty years. We stayed overnight as guests through the Harvest Hosts...
See Park Video Yesterday and this morning we explored a very small segment of this amazing national recreation area. At the Dingman's Visitors Center we learned that the history of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is closely tied to the beginnings of...
It's Labor Day, the last day of the last weekend of summer. Tomorrow the kids will all be back to school and parents back to work. All along the highway today we spied RVs apparently heading home. Here at Dingman's Campground Site 64 there's no one around. The site...
As we have traveled through the Harrisburg PA area many times we've commented that we needed to visit one of these days. Hershey is a legendary chocolate company, a community, and an amusement park. Our personal interest was in the origins of the chocolates that...
Although it doesn't look like much from the exterior, our visit to Roadside America Miniature Village near Shartlesville, Pennsylvania, truly was a visit into wonderland. This magical place is so much more than one miniature village, it's a vast collection of...
Today was a good day for just hunkering down and waiting out the storm. We felt bad for folks who'd been looking forward to their Labor Day Weekend camping trip only to have it turn soggy but for us it was a good day to work on computer based projects, get laundry...
This morning we were breaking camp and heading into Gettysburg for a ranger talk so we postponed our traditional September 1st breakfast. Now the 400 is parked alongside Swatara Creek on Site 40 at the Jonestown/Hershey KOA for a three night Labor Day weekend stay and...
This morning we broke camp and pulled the trailer into Gettysburg and along Confederate Avenue. First we stopped at an artillery position and spent some time chatting with a Confederate costumed interpreter before heading to the Gouverneur Warren monument on Little...

Like most Americans, we knew little about the 9th President of the United States except for his 1840 campaign slogan, "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" and that he died one month into his presidency presumably of pneumonia after delivering a two hour long inaugural address...
Early settlers of the what is now Ohio discovered and named Fort Ancient, a site that looked to them to have been built as a military defense. It’s a place near Oregonia, Ohio that’s rich in archeology and has been studied for it’s historical significance since the...
After a full afternoon at SunWatch, we did a drive by of the only house still in Dayton that belonged to the Wright Brothers, a treat after our recent visit to the Wright Brothers National Memorial at Kitty Hawk. The brothers, pioneers of powered flight, continued to...
