One of the delights of the teardrop rally in Ohio each summer is putting names and faces together. We're nearly all members of an online forum designed to share T@B information and enthusiasm. As we meet people here we introduce ourselves not only by name but by...
It wasn't planned, it just happened. As the morning progressed we five wandered out of our three teardrop campers carrying our bowls of cereal and mugs of morning beverage and gathered around a picnic table to tell tales of T@B adventures and misadventures. It's been...
A reunion is a wonderful thing. When we learned Amanda would be arriving this afternoon in anticipation of üCamp17 next week, we made a point to be at Winklepleck when she arrived. We met at last year's gathering when she was a brand new T@Bber and immediately liked...
When we booked our site here at TimberCrest we asked to be near friends that we knew would be staying here this weekend. Jasper arrived Friday and we've enjoyed time with him late last night and today including a delightful trip to Baltic Mill Winery where we savored...
Today we headed to the "big city" of New Philadelphia, the county seat of Tuscarawas County. At a population of about seventeen thousand it's big enough to provide an array of goods and services. We enjoyed a down home lunch at Michael's Restaurant before heading...

Today was a travel day but not too long a one. We lingered in Lebanon for a while. Gave a T@B-400 tour. Made some phone calls. Got on the road by noon. Made a couple of stops. At a rest area we found a geocache that had previously eluded us! We chose Spring Valley...
The search for the perfect shoe has yielded success! A pair of Ahnu Montara IIs have served Karen well for nearly two years of daily wear. They're waterproof but breathable, comfortable and stable. They look good enough for city streets and perform well on back...
It's just one of the Cincinnati treats we indulge in when the opportunity presents. Since our travels today took us into the neighborhood, we stopped and treated ourselves to some Graeter's Ice Cream at the historic Hyde Park Location. Toffee Chocolate Chip and Black...
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.
