Two days ago neither one of us had a burning desire to throw a pair of old shoes into a tree in the middle of the woods in Milltown IN, but after doing so today, it feels like we have accomplished a bucket list item. As we were leaving Bloomington yesterday we checked...
With Bloomington in our rear view, we stopped a little east of Palmyra IN, at Buffalo Trace Campground. Southern Indiana near names familiar to Karen from early childhood. Evansville, Brandenburg, Shively. This a a delightful local park complete with swimming beach,...
As we celebrate Independence Day, we're pondering our own freedom to travel. Our ramble with our T@B-400 this summer will be divided into segments. From now until the last week of July is from Bloomington to Sugarcreek. Shall we explore just Indiana and Ohio? Shall we...

Our Bloomington IN guides led us to their favorite burger place this evening. BuffaLouie's occupies a storied location across the street from the Indiana University campus, once occupied by The Book Nook where Hoagie Carmichael wrote "Stardust". It's a popular...
Sunday found us back at Farm Bloomington perusing the Brunch Menu. The two of us settled on local interpretations of classics. The Hoosier Poutine added poached eggs to the classic french fries, cheese curds, and gravy dish. The Indiana Benedict featured sausage and...
On our first visit to Bloomington in the Fall of 2015 we were introduced to JL Waters Adventure Outfitters. Back then Emily outfitted each of us shoes that have served us well on mountain trails and city streets. We've worn the treads off the soles. Time for new ones....

Sunny Day and her person, Verna have chosen as their adventure this summer, camp hosting in Indiana's Yellowwood Forest. We chose an overnight stay here expressly for the purpose of spending time with the two, and it was most delightful to sit, share wine, talk T@B,...
It was a good day at Sugarcreek. We brunched at Wall House, browsed and lunched at Lehman's, enjoyed iced coffee and a little ice cream at New Grounds Cafe then visited with friends and learned even more about the 400 at nüCamp.  Then it was time to ramble. The...

After one last errand, picking up a delivery at The UPS Store in Franklin, we hit the road and made our way to the Charlotte/Fort Mill KOA in Fort Mill, South Carolina. It's close enough that Bill & Dove could join us for a meal at the nearby Blacow Burgers.
