After early Mass at St Mark's, we had a delicious breakfast with Greg & Rachel at Dot2Dot Cafe on Dot Ave. It's one of our favorite eateries in the area. The food is delicious, the service wonderful, the decor...

Bonus!
There was another upside to making the trek into Ohio for trailer repair. Sugarcreek is just south of Canton. So last night after we set up camp at the KOA in East Sparta we drove into Canton and met Peyton and Riley, Dave and Amy at a local restaurant. Peyton...
Sneak Visit
One of the things we realized in the last couple of days was that we had not bothered to pack the awning for the T@B. We had the tent but there are times when the awning is just right. So on our way to Kings Mountain today we took a northerly route and called Greg and...
Brew and Bread
It's been a day for running errands in between the raindrops in this county and next. Went to Franklin to check the mail at our temporary address before we head out. Used the opportunity to visit an excellent independent kitchen store. Had the opportunity there to...
Extra Space
One of the delights of life in the Smokies is that it attracts visitors. It's a fun place to host a house party. But we really don't have enough space in the house to sleep all the folks that want to come at one time. This time we aren't the hosts for the upcoming...
Saving Some Summer
Yesterday we went blueberry picking, then purchased a basket of South Carolina peaches and Washington State cherries at the local produce stand. Today we went to the Farmer's Market in Sylva and got...
Back Together!
Today was another bonus day. We two relished the ability to stay home. We visited with Lou and Peg over breakfast then did some quiet activities. Peg sat in the sun and did some crochet. Steve and Lou conferred over the best approach to take with a problem with the...
It’s NOT Ready *#!@#?#
Once again the trailer pickup is delayed. When we ordered in early April we expected to take delivery no later than late May or possibly early June. But Little Guy International experienced a flood of orders. So then we were given a pick up date of June 15th. Just a...
Haywood Roads
Curiosity on Lou and Peg's part as well as our own lead us to a day of exploring Haywood County, Gateway to the Smokies. We started with a breakfast at Balsam Mountain Inn. We were the only ones on the dining porch and were offered one breakfast option: eggs strata...
Rattlesnake Hill
With the bonus of two more days at home we have the freedom to do some explorations with Lou and Peg. They've done plenty during their time house sitting here but there's still so much more to do and...
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.
Enjoy exploring, and leave us comments! We love hearing from you. And if you’d like to follow us, Subscribe by signing up at the bottom of this page.

OUR VERY
LATEST
The Trees That Pa Planted
Back in 2018 when we visited this area to see some of Laura Ingalls Wilder's homes, we spent an overnight at Lake Thompson Recreation Area near DeSmet, South Dakota. At the time we'd been wishing for a lakeside campsite, but last night on waterfront Site 39 we were...
Celebrating in Watertown
We're still celebrating! Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and we marked the occasion at Dempsey’s Brew Pub on Broadway in Watertown, South Dakota with their award winning Casanova Pizza on Cauliflower Crust accompanied by their delicious Black Bear Stout! And...
Nome Schoolhouse
Renovation Video on Ewe Tube - click here Despite our passions for textile arts as well as fiber mill machinery, if it hadn't been for Harvest Hosts we might have missed this treasure. In searching for an overnight stay, we discovered Nome Schoolhouse in Nome, North...
