Corning and Oneida

From Taughannock Falls we headed southwest, technically out of the Finger Lakes region, to Corning and the Corning Museum of Glass. We'd been warned to get there early but not warned that we needed separate tickets in order to make our own glass creation. Studio time...

Camping World, Lockport, Genesee Country

Gave another tour of the camper. We thought we'd do fewer of these once we moved out of the teeny teeny tiny trailer but it seems we're getting more interest that ever before. Once we were on the road we headed to the outskirts of Buffalo and Camping World. It's sort...

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.
