Upping the Entertainment

This afternoon we hit the road and made our way to the KOA in Wytheville VA. We find it a good place to land after a day if travel and stop here a few times a year. It felt great to be back in our little home. We took the opportunity to set up our brand new MiFi that...

Coffee Time

Even as we are parked in the driveway, we are living in the T@B 400. After a recent house party ended it seemed easier to just continue to stay put in the trailer for a few more nights until we hit the road. So now we are trialing our outdoor kitchen. We've set up our...

400 Tours on Party Day

When we've got a shiny new T@B 400 parked in the driveway and a cookout happening on the deck, sometimes we just have to abandon the grill and give our friends and neighbors a tour of our new digs. This way when we head out on our summer ramble, they will be able to...

It’s Still a Little Trailer

It’s Still a Little Trailer

Okay, so the T@B 400 is three feet longer than our T@B-CS and feels twice as big inside, but although it's a big little trailer, it's still a little trailer, especially when we park it next to the big boys at a rest stop!

And Then to nüCamp 

Since our original plans had been to drop off Gigi and do the paperwork at Haydocy then go to nüCamp to pick up the 400, nothing would do but to continue on to Sugarcreek where we were met in the lobby by Jeremy. It soon became apparent to Jeremy that we were well...

Side by Side

After we finished the paperwork at Haydocy this morning, we parked Gigi and our new T@B 400 side by side, readied the new trailer for travel and bid a final good bye to Gigi. We feel confident she will enjoy lots of wonderful adventures with her new family. When we...

Bittersweet Journey

Today we hitched up Gigi for our final journey together. It’s been a glorious four years as we have traveled these forty-eight contiguous states with her. She’s facilitated so many adventures and the opportunity to make so many friends. It’s been with a degree of...

The Traveling Hobo Cafe

For years we've traveled "backroads" from Franklin NC to Macon GA to avoid Atlanta traffic. Over time the highway department has built bypasses around the towns along US-129 and US-441. It makes the trip shorter but we miss the local color. Today we chose to  skip the...

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.

Enjoy exploring, and leave us comments! We love hearing from you. And if you’d like to follow us, Subscribe by signing up at the bottom of this page.

Chickens & Eggs

Chickens & Eggs

One of the reasons that Greg & Rachel chose to move their brood from the big city to a small town was the opportunity to produce some of their own food. Along that line they have joined a chicken co-op in the neighborhood. Yesterday Greg helped build the coop and...
