It's great to explore a place under the guidance of locals. This evening Jana & Ryan took us to Murphy's Pub for some great brews and incredible bison meatloaf and elk stroganoff. From there we walked the streets of Rapid City, a great outdoor party during this...
Although we will not linger too long in the Black Hills this trip, we both wanted to take the time to revisit The Crazy Horse Memorial. Although we visited the area in 1973 and were aware at the time that a carving of Crazy Horse was in progress we listened to those...
It was a delightful evening with Ryan and Jana. We joined them at their house for a delicious bbq dinner from the emerging Rapid City food truck scene then ventured into nearby downtown. A quick stop into Who's Toy House, ice cream from Silver Lining Creamery savored...
After a long chat with chat with fellow T@B owners early evening, some late evening bison campground visits, and a late night hailstorm, we settled in for the night in order to get an early start this morning. Of course there were bison sightings as we were leaving...
Park Introductory Video Our goal today has been to savor the south unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. After a bit of excitement with bison cutting through a neighboring campsite we headed out to drive the loop road. Prairie dogs, bison, incredible views of the...
After to an early morning trip to the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt Visitors Center we made our way to the Cottonwood Campground in the South Unit where we set up on Site 16 and deployed our solar panels. A bit of lunch and a little nap and we we were ready to head...
As we were making the journey from the Garrison Dam to Fort Union yesterday, we realized we had the option of leaving the trailer at a campsite in the Little Missouri National Grassland CCC Campground before driving the rest of the way to Fort Union. So we did that....
Then of course we visited Fort Buford, the military fort near the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers. It was established in 1866 and built hastily of cottonwood trees. The following year it was completely rebuilt using materials from the dismantling of...
See Park Video Today we made our way to the impressive edifice on the northern North Dakota prairie, Fort Union! One of the rangers there told us that so many stories of the big white fort were told among the Native Americans that members of the Nez Perce made the...
After a nice lunch in Washburn we arrived at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center just before 3:30PM and learned that today's last tour of the Fort Mandan replica 2 miles away would begin at 4PM so we abbreviated our visit to the museum. We did learn a few new...

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.

It was a short but rewarding visit to the ancient capital of the Roman Empire. We enjoyed walking the narrow streets, savoring the sights and tastes of this timeless city, and especially getting close to thousands of years old monuments and even inside of the world famous Roman Colosseum.
Weather conditions caused Allure of the Seas to miss the port that would have given us the chance to visit Pisa. Instead we had the opportunity to spend an extra day aboard this floating resort in the port of Civitavecchia enjoying the ship and pondering what we’d learned this trip about our own travel style.
Our stop in Marseille, France afforded us an opportunity to visit Avignon which was home to seven popes in the 14th Century and a site important in the life and legacy of St Catherine of Siena.
