The most expeditious route from western North Carolina to northeastern Ohio is along the West Virginia Turnpike with it's Travel Plazas offering convenient fuel and fast food. It's also an opportunity to park and slip into the trailer for a quiet meal break and a bit...

Road Trip
Upping the Entertainment
This afternoon we hit the road and made our way to the KOAÂ 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...
T@B People
It was a long way to come for a tour of our 400. Don & Dawn traveled here with their T@B-CSS from Vancouver BC to visit family here in Sylva. They came by today to put some faces  with our names and to see our new big little trailer. We've been communicating by...
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
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 nüCampÂ
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Pocono Indian Museum
Our travels yesterday were a rather lengthy 234 miles ending at the Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and a yummy dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu at Muller's Diner, an eatery recommended by a local as we checked in. But even before...
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...
Skipping Stones & Sleeping Over
Skipping stones is a skill that has been passed from father to son for generations. Now for Greg, Rachel and family, their new home in western Massachusetts is giving the boys a better than ever opportunity to develop their skills at a local park nearby. We're...
