After a pleasant morning overlooking Lake Cumberland we made our way north on US-27 to Lexington and on then via interstate through Cincinnati to Winton Woods where we discovered that we'd arrived a day earlier than our reservation! So we are temporarily ensconced on...
We're at Fishing Creek Campground on Lake Cumberland near Somerset, Kentucky. It's one of the Army Corps of Engineers Campgrounds and Site 11 has water on three sides! We're set up and registered. Now it's time to pop into town to run a few errands and perhaps find a...
See Park Video The Cumberland Gap Tunnel on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee gave us the opportunity to travel under the storied Cumberland Gap today as part of a journey involving three states in about five minutes! We spent time at the Cumberland Gap Visitors...
We've scored a national park campsite with shade and electricity near a well-appointed shower house at the Senior Pass rate! It's the Wilderness Road Campground near Ewing, Virginia. It's at Cumberland Gap National Historic Park where the states of Kentucky,...
We arrived last night at Panther Creek State Park near Morristown TN after making a reservation over the phone. This is the first leg of our journey to Cincinnati. It was a pleasant though warm evening. We supped simply on leftovers from our recent entertaining and...
We're back on in the mountains of western North Carolina after a four week, six state adventure. We've visited family and explored all sorts of interesting places. Now it's time to enjoy this place for a bit. We'll get to stain the new doors, pull weeds, soak in the...
We headed south this morning but not along the parkway this time. We got off on US-221, hoping to get ice and coffee at Grandfather Country Store but we were too early for that so we continued south along this road alongside the BRP. We were treated to the sight...
We struck up a conversation with Jane and Charley this morning. They camped near us in an A-frame, a tiny camper of a different design. Turns out they live not far from us. We exchanged ideas of great places to camp, ways to facilitate camping off-grid, camp menu...
We headed out this morning from our site at the Julian Price Campground. We wanted to explore the area a little. We found a geocache on the way to breakfast in Blowing Rock. We refueled in the outskirts of Boone then headed to Valle Crucis to visit The Original Mast...
Moving north along the Blue Ridge Parkway, we left Linville Falls this morning and made it just a few miles to the Julian Price campground. Here we're finding ample shade and little sun for the solar panels so we've made the switch to a cooler for the food. We went...
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.

As one last treat before leaving the Boston area behind, we enjoyed lunch with Rachel at the Lower Mills Tavern, a delightful eatery and so much more. On a previous visit in the company of Greg, we sampled some great libations, and hopefully on a future visit we...
This morning as we were hugging the boys and talking about our next planned visit, we also tried to get a photo of Linus and Miles with Nana and Grandpop. Too many wiggles. What we ultimately got was a delightful selfie of everyone being silly. Then hugs and promises...
In July of last year we fell in love with Caffe Zia Gianna in Dorchester, Massachusetts. We returned this morning and were delighted not only that the food was just as delicious and the service just as friendly as we remembered, but that Nino remembered us as the...
