Time to pause for a few minutes and savor the scene with a mug of freshly brewed decaf. We've had neighbors drop by to welcome us back to the cove. And we've begun unpacking the truck and the T@B and settling into our mountain house. First things first. We're filling...

Highway Hugs
Just as we were entering Jackson County we heard a car honk and a green CRV passed us. It was none other than our good friend Stan. We pulled off the on the side of Woodfin to get hugs, to swap a few travel tales, and make plans to see each other this weekend! What a...
Return to WNC
It's been a glorious four months since we left these beautiful Smoky Mountains. Today we are returning on a fabulously sunny day. It will be good to settle into the house at Tween Creeks for a bit. We're going to enjoy our deck, and outdoor fire pit, and especially...
Full HookupsÂ
Wytheville KOA. Full hookups including cable TV. We'll get to watch the first game of the World Series. Delivery pizza right to our campsite. Chilling a bit on our last night on the road. We left Tween Creeks on June 26th and we'll return tomorrow, a mere four months...
A nüCamp Day
Late in this trip our T@B's ALDE system's reservoir developed a leak. That gave us one more good reason to come to northeastern Ohio. We contacted Austin and made arrangements to bring Gigi back to the factory for repair this morning. It gave us the chance to also see...
Twisted Time Warp
Five of us piled into Dave's as yet unnamed sparkly blue Jeep Patriot and headed out on an adventure reminiscent of so many of our family adventures in Big Red, our 1978 Jeep Cherokee. As we rolled we rocked to Walk the Moon, The Kingsmen, Cindy Lauper, The...
Chilly MorningÂ
Woke up to temperatures in the low forties, gray skies, and lots of condensation along the metal trim in the clamshell kitchen. We figured out long ago that regardless of how cold it is outside that we have to open both the ceiling fan vent and the window at the foot...
Into Ohio
It was a rainy trip from Bloomington to Richmond, Indiana. After setup on Site 5 at the KOA, we discussed the feasibility of preparing dinner then invoked the "That's why God made restaurants!" comment that we use when curious people ask about cooking in the clamshell...
Under an UmbrellaÂ
The rain did pretty much hold off until we were able to get Gigi situated in her temporary spot. With Eric at Midas we ventured out under the umbrella to see what opportunities the area afforded. Haircuts at Great Clips. Electronic musings at Best Buy. Soup and salad...
T@Bin Fever
It looks promising this morning. The weather app suggests no rain for at least the next two hours! Â How wonderful! We spent all afternoon, all evening, and all night tucked inside our cozy T@B with its clamshell kitchen while thunderstorms raged outside. We did get...
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
London Transport Museum
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Excursion to Bath, England
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
The Victoria & Albert Museum
Today’s excursion to The Victoria & Albert Museum established in 1857 gave us a glimpse into the Victorian world and a chance to see some glorious originals and copies up close.
