Let's just say that Macon, Georgia is worth a visit. For us for so many years, it was a location to pass by on I-75 when going from here to there. Then just recently we realized that the Ocmulgee Mounds site was immediately adjacent to the site. We booked a campsite...
Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park has been a place of human habitation for 12,000-17,000 years. The first peoples here alongside the Ocmulgee (oak-muhl -ghee) River near what is now Macon, Georgia, were Paleo-Indians - big game hunters just after the last ice...
After three nights at Site #6 at Tallulah Gorge and explorations of the lake, the gorge, the hiking trails, not to mention Blue Creek and Goats on the Roof, we're putting Georgia on our map. In addition we're adding a few more stickers to highlight a few of the fun...
A short distance from our campsite is a delightful walk along the northern shore of Tallulah Lake, formed in 1914 with the construction of the hydroelectric dam to provide electricity to the booming metropolis of Atlanta. The lake provides recreational opportunity...
Yes, Goats on the Roof is a genuine tourist trap complete with a blue dyed waterfall, a fudge shop, plenty of kitschy souvenirs, and a small herd of goats that are well trained to expect a hand out from any and all humans. But there's a redeeming feature, they serve...
After a great film at the interpretive center here at Tallulah Gorge State Park in the Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia, we headed out to the North Rim Trail to get a look at one of the grandest canyons in the eastern United States. It's awe inspiring especially...
For thirty years we've been fans of Georgia State Parks and have some sweet memories of Spring Break trips with our youngsters to places like Hard Labor Creek or Unicoi. In more recent years we have explored other parks such as Cloud Canyon. One park we've driven past...
We spent a most salubrious morning enjoying the fact that we didn't have a things to do list with which to deal. Eventually we wandered out to explore this highest state park in Georgia. We did Geocache type known as an EarthCache and learned a number of...
Our first night out and it's going well. We left home in time to stop by the yarn shop in Franklin and easily found a parking spot for truck and T@B. We pulled into a state park on a Friday night without a reservation and scored a pretty campsite at about...
One of the delights of traveling without an itinerary or planned route, is the ability to act on tips we get from fellow travelers. Last night we had a delightful conversation with Jani. She gave us some tips on visiting Mobile but she also mentioned a nearby creamery...
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.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
