Once upon a time we used to listen to our friend Gary expound on the probable/certain existence of Bigfoot with a healthy degree of skepticism. We'd never seen any scientific or even tangible evidence of the existence of a large hairy hominid nor known anyone who had...

Colorado
Red Rocks Canyon Open Space
Our plan for this morning was to visit Garden of the Gods, it seems to be one of Must Do places in Colorado but we no more than entered the area and saw the crowds climbing on the rocks before we were ready to turn around and get out of there. Instead we visited the...
Rocky Mountains
We traveled today from Steamboat Springs to Fort Collins along US-40 and CO-14, the Cache la Poudre Scenic Byway. Oh! The scenery! It's unbelievable. We traveled north of Rocky Mountain National Park but the scenery was every bit as beautiful! But now in Fort Collins...
Flat Tops Trail Scenic Byway
The docent at the visitor center in Meeker told us about the Flat Tops Trail Scenic Byway. It's shown as a major road on the official Colorado highway map but to call this mostly gravel road between Meeker and Yampa a highway would be a stretch. It is a nice wide...
Pikes Peak or Bust
Back when Dinah Shore, on behalf of General Motors implored Americans, to "See the USA in your Chevrolet" Steve's parents purchased a 1956 Chevy Belair and packed up the family for a great cross country trip that included a drive to the top of Pikes Peak. Today Steve...
World’s Highest KOA
Knowing we wanted to check out some of the sights in the Colorado Springs area, we picked the Cripple Creek KOA to serve as our base. Looks like we chose well. Located just outside of the historic gold mining towns of Victor and Cripple Creek, this campground is...
Steamboat & Strawberry
We enjoyed a leisurely morning in camp listening to the rushing of the Yampa River next to our site before going into the town of Steamboat Springs for lunch, a bit of geocaching, and a little shopping. We finished our day in a most relaxing manner by soaking in the...
An iPhone Rescue and a Realization
One of our recent technical challenges has been dealing with "storage full" messages on Karen's iPhone 6S. The technician at City Mac in Traverse City identified the inordinate amount of data used by the Notes app and suggested deleted some of the 700 notes. Sounded...
Lake Hasty Campground
Last night as we were lying in bed we looked at the All Stays app to see what the possibilities were for a campground more or less a hundred miles west of Dodge City. The US-400 corridor isn’t exactly crowded with campgrounds and we were rather hoping to make it into...
On Top of the World!
Forty-one years ago when we were tent camping across the country on our honeymoon The Carpenters' hit On Top of the World was high on the charts and being played frequently on FM stations across the country. It was a bit of an anthem for us. Today as we were traveling...
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
Savoy at Sea 2025
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Cruising Canada’s Coast
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
Rally in the Adirondacks
Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.
