Spent the weekend goofing off, doing some reading for pleasure, eating simple meals prepared from the leftovers of our last grill night, napping, enjoying the slightly cooler sunshiny days, just recharging our batteries, and enjoying life in our T@B-400. This morning...
As we were fueling up this morning near Greensboro NC, Foxy & Taz asked to see our trailer. At the beginning of our visit she was aware of the T@B and anxious to learn more. Now they're both excited and seriously considering moving up from a pop up camper for...
The road trip calls and we must go. It's been a pleasant sojourn at the house but adventure is out there and we're anxious to find it! After an interruption of two and a half weeks, we're back! Heading east on I-40 looking for possibilities!
When your own house is in the path of totality for the first Solar Eclipse to travel across the country from coast to coast in ninety-nine years, the best place to travel to may be your own home. When we realized that, we tweaked our Summer Ramble plans so that we...
Plans change. We thought we would drive the entire Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway but instead we're headed to the house to drop the trailer tonight and catch an early morning flight to Texas to be with family. Back in 1975 the two of us planned to drive the entire...
What started out as a hike to Lewis Falls turned into a celebration of our Appalachian Trail experiences. Fifty years ago this summer Karen backpacked a week long AT trip in The Smokies with her Dad and a brother and sister. Just as we and Steve's friend Stan...
Ever since our visit to the Blue Ridge Parkway two years ago we've been anxious to return and test our dry camping capability with our newest upgraded equipment. That time we were running an efficient Norcold chest style refrigerator off a Group 24 deep cycle marine...

The National Park Service at Antietam Battlefield just outside the little town of Sharpsburg MD does an excellent job of interpreting the huge historical significance of the bloody battle that took place here in September 1862. In one day more American lives were lost...
Out of Sugarcreek we traveled east on OH-39 then south on I-77 to the US-40 exit with plans to travel the approximate route of the National Road. At one point we turned off US-40 when we saw a Historic Route 40 sign. At that point but for GPS we were lost. Later 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.

In between the mid-afternoon and the evening recital performances Dave, Amy and the two of us wanted a bit of refreshment and at Amy’s suggestion the two of us indulged in some Adult Milkshakes at Pav’s Creamery in North Canton, Ohio. Son of Matuta and Double Irish...
Often our adventures are serendipitous, prompted by a road sign or something we have found in an app such as Yelp!, Clio, or Apple Maps, but this time it was planned before we left the house back in April. Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park is located on an...
Included in our tickets package for the trip to Blennerhassett Island was also admission of the the Blennerhassett Museum of Regional History. It's part of the state park but actually located in downtown Parkersburg, West Virginia. We saved the museum for later in the...
