New River Gorge Video - May 2021 New River isn't exactly new, it's been a river for eons, perhaps the second oldest in the world. It may have gotten it's name when it was discovered as a river not already on the map. However New River Gorge National Park is our newest...
Often our adventures are serendipitous, prompted by a road sign or something we have found in an app such as Yelp!, Clio, or Apple Maps, but this time it was planned before we left the house back in April. Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park is located on an...
After an overnight at Coshocton KOA we headed south. So many times we have driven the West Virginia Turnpike between Princeton and Parkersburg and seen a sign for Pipestem Resort State Park. So many times we've commented that some day we need go there. Today's the day...
The Harper's Ferry KOA is located on Bolivar Heights, the place at Harper's Ferry that saw more action than any other during the Civil War is immediately adjacent to the Murphy Farm area of the national park property. It bears interpretive markers that may date back...
On our way south to our next stop, we paused in Sugarcreek to meet up with some of our friends at nüCamp RV, an amazing organization that we've been privileged to be associated with for the last fourteen years. After an afternoon spent with John, Julie, and Scott we...
Included in our tickets package for the trip to Blennerhassett Island was also admission of the the Blennerhassett Museum of Regional History. It's part of the state park but actually located in downtown Parkersburg, West Virginia. We saved the museum for later in the...
National Park Videos Lower Town Harper's Ferry is incredibly rich in history. Many of us know that it's where John Brown took a stand in the years leading up to the Civil War but not so much of the rest of the incredibly rich history of this place. Since the time...
West Virginia is along our route today as we trek north for a quick visit to Ohio to watch granddaughters dance this weekend. As always we were marveling at the landscape and this time really delighted in the Redbud trees blooming at the edge of the woods all along...
What a delight to go hang out for a couple of hours in a winery knowing that the trek home is walking just a few yards to our camper. That's just what Mike and Shelly offered us at The Rusty Nail in Martinsburg, West Virginia last night. Lucky for us they joined...
Wow! What a wealth of information we walked into when we stopped by the Harper's Ferry Visitors Center. Yesterday we came by in the afternoon to learn the ropes and get some basic information before riding the shuttle to Lower Town. We stopped in afterwards to ask a...
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.

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
