Although we will not linger too long in the Black Hills this trip, we both wanted to take the time to revisit The Crazy Horse Memorial. Although we visited the area in 1973 and were aware at the time that a carving of Crazy Horse was in progress we listened to those...
It was a delightful evening with Ryan and Jana. We joined them at their house for a delicious bbq dinner from the emerging Rapid City food truck scene then ventured into nearby downtown. A quick stop into Who's Toy House, ice cream from Silver Lining Creamery savored...
After a long chat with chat with fellow T@B owners early evening, some late evening bison campground visits, and a late night hailstorm, we settled in for the night in order to get an early start this morning. Of course there were bison sightings as we were leaving...
Although we don't travel with an itinerary or a specific planned route, we do have a general route in mind. This time Aberdeen was not in the general plan. But then we learned that Paul, a cousin we hadn't seen in many a year has just moved to this place. A few text...
We remembered this eatery from our 2008 trip and set the GPS to lead us to Al's Oasis. At's an iconic restaurant just off I-90 at Oacoma SD. I's a pretty comprehensive travelers rest stop: fuel, groceries, souvenirs, lodging, camping, and restaurant. Been there nearly...

Ranger Tour Video Park Video Today we headed south on US 385 to Hot Springs, South Dakota. There in 1974 mammoth fossils were discovered and now it is an active paleontological dig under roof. It's the only mammoth site in the US with the fossils in situ (left where...

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.
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. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
