Our task for today is to enjoy our surroundings as we wait to learn when we can bring Eric in for his new device. It's been a pleasant morning. Some sun, some clouds, moderate temperatures, a good amount of shade as long as we are willing to move our chairs every so...
A second evening in Bloomington! A second rendezvous at Fountain Square Mall. This time a chance to photograph a fun yarn bomb and the opportunity to dine at Farm Bloomington. Creativity, quality, and local products are hallmarks of this independent eatery. We started...
Well, today didn't go exactly according to plan. That check engine light on Eric's dashboard turns out to indicate a catalytic converter going bad. Bloomington Ford suggested we drive back to North Carolina for repair since they wouldn't be able to get the part until...
CJ and Phil suggested we rendezvous at the Fountain Square Mall in downtown Bloomington. After an initial round of hugs we headed to The Irish Lion, a restored 1882 tavern where we visited over a round of libations and a couple of small plates before moving on to...
Paynetown SRA near Bloomington was our second stop as we headed out for our 2016 Summer Ramble. In June we had reserved Site 22. This time, nearly four months later,  we're assigned to Site 54. In the meantime it's been a great circle across the northern tier, down...
Our home for the evening was on the shore of Lake Carlyle in a Army Corps of Engineers campground with the most unoriginal name of Dam West. It was a pleasant place to pause for the night or to linger for several days. And it was a beautiful place from which to view...
Our first foray into Missouri cas come to an end. We've enjoyed the experiences we've had on this short visit and look forward to an opportunity to visit for a fortnight or more. We didn't get the chance this trip to even visit St Louis much less dig into its history...
This is a perfect example of the cool spots we find while geocaching. The World's Largest Rocker was a Guinness record holder from 2008 to 2016! It sits along Route 66 near the Fanning Feed Store which just recently closed for good but which sports a delightful...
Today we completed our 48th state visit in our T@B since July 2013! Our rule is that at a minimum we must stay overnight and do something fun while in the state. Last night we stayed near Lebanon MO and today we visited the Stonehenge at Rolla, a half-scale replica of...
After a lovely morning with friends in Arkansas we ventured north into Missouri. We paused for an overnight at Happy Trails RV Park, a dinner at Elm Street Eatery, and a geocache at the public library in Lebanon, Missouri. Although our route of travel is primarily...
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.

It was a fabulous opportunity to not only view the 2024 Solar Eclipse from within the path of totality but also to enjoy a five day weekend with friends from the T@B trailer community at Ohio’s East Harbor State Park on the shore of Lake Erie.
Spent a most enjoyable March sunny day watching alligators and hiking in St Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge south of Tallahassee, Florida.
Eight nights at sea aboard Carnival Pride gave us visits to Costa Rica, Cayman Islands, and a Panama Canal Partial Passage as well as lots of fun, camaraderie, and of course dancing.
