We were up and about this morning before most folks and in the cool of the day we headed to the Linville Falls Visitors Center. This time we headed for Chimney View and a look at both the Upper and the Lower Falls. We opted so save Erwin's View for the next...

An Orange T@B!
We were sitting inside the T@B this afternoon listening to the thunderstorms that were in the area but never actually hit us, when we heard a vehicle moving slowly past us. Karen looked out the window and said, "It's a T@B!" We popped out quickly and waved. Barb &...
Linville Falls Winery
After a most pleasant morning at Linville Falls Campground, we set out to see a bit of the area and discovered the Linville Falls Winery. Of course we stopped for a tasting! And of course we left with some wine to share with friends and family. But it wasn't just the...
Linville Falls
These beautiful falls appear in a scene in the movie The Last of the Mohicans, but due to the magic of cinema look much taller and fearsome than they seem in person! We've walked from the visitors center about three-quarters of a mile to sit and ponder the...
Blue Ridge Parkway
Yesterday's adventure was to hang around the campsite most of the day. All four of us enjoyed the opportunity to relax between naps! In the evening we helped M&S determine that their outside TV works as part of their all systems check. Today we headed north...
Ice Cream Flights
What an amazing experience! We went to The Hop Ice Creamery factory for the Friday night tasting. Tonight they were offering flights of ice cream. We tried four flavors each. Among our favorites was Strawberry Daiquiri and Peanut Butter Curry!
Shish Kebabs!
It's a camping rendezvous! We've wanted to camp with Stan & Mary and their dogs, Nikko, Lilly, & Dominic for quite some time. Since they are still getting used to their new camper, we chose a campground not far from their house. Last night we hosted dinner of...
I-40-E in NC
We're traveling a familiar route this morning but for a different reason. Usually on this section of highway we're getting close to home often at the end of a long day of travel. Today our total driving time will be just over an hour. We're heading to a KOA west of...
Which Trail Was THE Trail?
See Park Video Forty-nine years ago this summer Steve was part of a party of four who hiked the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from CosbyCampground to Newfound Gap and back again. This afternoon Steve returned to Cosby for the first time....
The Duke Story
A couple of years ago when we were staying at this KOA, some folks staying near us told us about the fun they'd had at the Bush's Beans Factory Museum. It's been on "our list" ever since. The museum/visitors center shows a film not about Duke, the dog who knew...
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.
Enjoy exploring, and leave us comments! We love hearing from you. And if you’d like to follow us, Subscribe by signing up at the bottom of this page.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Wee Ride
Dubbed Snoopy by the thrilled recipient, a Wee Ride Co-Pilot Bike Trailer was a birthday surprise and will be Linus' new transportation to his Kindergarten classes. A couple of trial runs around the neighborhood and to and from school is capping off a fabulous day of...
Dunkin’ Comfort
Heading to Boston via US-20 we passed through Sturbridge, Massachusetts and couldn't help but think of that one line in James Taylor's Sweet Baby James so we queued it up and listened to the song. Just before leaving the US highway we paused for refreshment. We're...
Familiar and Different
Our friends have hosted us for moochdocking and short term T@B storage behind their Connecticut home a few different times. It's always a fun opportunity to spend time with them and a secure spot to leave our camper for a few days while we visit family in Boston. When...
