At a stop for fuel in along NY-5 in Westfield, New York, we were invited to pause and enjoy the beauty of Lake Erie at Barcelona Harbor, the home of the Barcelona Lighthouse, the nation’s first natural gas lighthouse erected in 1829. We parked at the pier and poked...
Just on the fringe of Allegany National Forest on the banks of Tionesta Creek, we’re enjoying the comforts of Tionesta Campground Site #42. It’s an Army Corps of Engineers campground with more amenities than usual. We’ve got full hookups! We got to indulge in full...
After a leisurely breakfast at the house with Ben & Lynda we quickly packed up and hitched up our T@B 400 which had been patiently parked in the driveway while we’d ventured off to Boston. Instead of staying to watch the Fourth of July Parade march past the house,...
A family farm since 1904, Wright's Farm in Gardiner NY is a wonderful place to shop for farm fresh food. Cherries just came into season this week. We got homemade Peach Rhubarb Pie, Cinnamon Apple Cider Doughnuts, Free Range Eggs, Maple Sausage , and more. It's a...
What to do on a rainy day in Otsego County? Explore Cooperstown, of course. We first thought of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and that it was the hometown of a high school friend so that's where we headed. Found some on street parking and walked the couple of...
It's Columbus Day Weekend and it's the end of tourist season in NH. With the late autumn foliage this year the colors have not yet peaked but it's time for us visitors to get out of town. Our campground for the last two nights closes at noon on Monday. We chose today...
Last night well after dinner the hankering started. We were both wanting something, a bit of a comfort food kind of something, and realized it was Pie! We had no pie and it wasn't reasonable to be heading out in the dark on unfamiliar roads in search of pie so we...
Yesterday as we were leaving Westfield NY,we had the GPS set for a state park not far from Fort Niagara north of Buffalo. Less than an hour later we'd talked with a friend in Vermont and reset the GPS. This morning we woke up with a view of mist rising from West...
Today's adventures began with a stroll through the vineyard right next to the KOA. Campground owner, Dennis, invited us to visit and pick some of his Concord grapes. Oh, that delicious grapey grape smell and taste! Quintessential grape! Then we headed to downtown...
Ah! Yes! We're off the Thruway and onto US-20. Even better we're back at Johnson Estate Winery near Westfield, New York. We were here in '13 and were quite impressed with their wines, especially their Red Ipocras. Today we stopped and stocked up on some old favorites...
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.

From London we made our way to Tunbridge Wells in Kent to dance to the strains of The Jive Aces and later enjoyed the opportunity to hobnob with the band members at The Ship and Castle in Portsmouth. Two fabulous experiences!
Our last day in London this trip we ventured underground on the Hidden London Charing Cross: Access All Areas Tour for a peek into the workings of The Underground a bit of its history and the uses of the Jubilee Line Charing Cross Station that no longer serves passengers but still has usefulness including as a filming location for movies including Skyfall and Paddington.
A half-day bus tour from London to Stonehenge gave us enough of an opportunity to gaze in awe at this ancient sacred monument, learn a little more about its history and construction and make us want to return for perhaps a more intimate experience.
