Now that we're down to more southern latitudes, we're enjoying warmer weather. We're contemplating putting away the cold weather gear for a while and de-winterizing the camper. Our plan at this point is to begin moving westward but not too quickly. For now we're doing...

Who Needs a Tour Guide?
Over breakfast today Ben started asking questions about Geocaching. Next thing we knew the three of us had embarked upon a tour of the area guided by geocaches. We explored areas that had once been frequented by pirates, that boasted incredible burgers and friendly...
Satchmo Lived Here

The Avenger

Bucket List Item!
One of us enjoyed Bananas Foster at Brennan's back in the early 80's and the other has had the experience on the Bucket List ever since. Today we topped off our fabulous breakfast with this amazing flambé dessert, shared with everyone at the table.

Northern Louisiana
From Vicksburg to Shreveport e are traveling US-80 which parallels I-20. We plan to camp tonight at Lake Bistineau State Park and explore Germantown and the Norton Art Museum.
Alongside the Mississippi
We've been wandering the banks of the Mississippi these last couple days and because of the levee, rarely can we see the river itself but we can definitely see evidence of the industry associated with this mighty means of transportation.
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.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio.
