Our home at the moment is Ventura Ranch KOA in the hills of California's Ventura County. This morning is beautiful, sunny, and pleasantly cool as we prepare breakfast in our T@B Clamshell kitchen. Last night though we had the excitement of a windstorm lasting from...
The route from San Luis Obispo to Santa Paula took us through stunning scenery and along gorgeous beaches. Our plan had been to stay ay Hobson Beach but no electric sites were available and with plans to be away from the T@B for several hours tomorrow we deferred on...

Lou is definitely in her element! Point Arena is a sister to Pigeon Point, the lighthouse where she volunteers as a docent. This lighthouse replaced the 1870 lighthouse that was destroyed by the 1905 San Francisco Earthquake. This replacement with its cylindrical...
From Burlington we headed south on the Avenue of the Giants, soon back onto US-101, then onto the Pacific Coast Highway with its extraordinary breathtaking views and twisting curves. About noon we paused at a scenic view area to make lunch. A T@G was also there but...

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.
