We left Little Rock this morning and headed east on I-40. We just crossed the mighty Mississippi at Memphis with hardly a thought. It's so easy in this era of interstate travel to take for granted safe passage across big bodies of water. It hasn't always been so....

Today we enjoyed a quiet morning at Fall Creek Falls State Park then made an uneventful drive to the KOA at Newport TN punctuated with a couple of geocache stops. We've stayed here a few times before but we have a shadier spot this time. This evening we hobnobbed...

As kids we both were part of the Davy Crockett craze of 1955 spawned by the historical mini-series that aired in black and white on the Disneyland show on American Broadcasting Company. We still recall all the lyrics to "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" and grew up...

Today it Shiloh National Military Park is a peaceful place as it was in the first days of April 1862 when Grant's Army was encamped between this Tennessee River landing and Shiloh Church two miles away. Then things changed dramatically in the predawn hours of...

Again we stopped because it looked interesting. This time it's the Rocky Mount State Historic Site. When we walked through the door of the main house we stepped back in time to 1791 as costumed interpreters welcomed us to experience life in the earliest days of the...

Miller Center Videos We have two rules. 1. Drive back roads. 2. Stop when something looks interesting. As we left Hot Springs NC we set the GPS for Hot Springs VA. The route took us through Greeneville TN where we found something that looked interesting. So we stopped...

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!
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.
