Today we enjoyed a quiet morning at Fall Creek Falls State Park then made an uneventful drive to the KOA at Newport TN punctuated with a couple of geocache stops. We've stayed here a few times before but we have a shadier spot this time. This evening we hobnobbed...
When you find a geocache, you get a smiley face on the map. Today we completed a series dedicated to the various editions of the Boy Scout Handbook. That added thirty-four smileys to our map for a total of four hundred fifty. Lou challenged us to get five hundred by...
It's a Yarn Bombing! As part of the Appalachian Lifestyle Celebration! We're actually not there to see it in person but it's exciting to see photos of the musicians of downtown Waynesville decked out in duds crafted by members of the Smoky Mountain Knitting Guild...
Today it Shiloh National Military Park is a peaceful place as it was in the first days of April 1862 when Grant's Army was encamped between this Tennessee River landing and Shiloh Church two miles away. Then things changed dramatically in the predawn hours of...
We left Little Rock this morning and headed east on I-40. We just crossed the mighty Mississippi at Memphis with hardly a thought. It's so easy in this era of interstate travel to take for granted safe passage across big bodies of water. It hasn't always been so....
We're staying at a KOA outside of North Little Rock. We chose it so we could do laundry as well as run a few errands. We went shopping for a few things at Camping World, treated ourselves to a meal at Chili's, found a frog guarding a geocache, got some...
It seems that most of the commonly shared stories of the Civil War involve action east of the Mississippi but today we visited the site of the December 7, 1862 Battle of Prairie Grove. It's a wonderfully preserved battlefield with a wealth of historic buildings. We...
We met Kate & Dave yesterday shortly after we pulled our T@B into the campground at Devil's Den State Park. They and their dog, Levi, are trialling life in a T@B. The rented their unit from Missouri Teardrop Trailers. Last night was their second...
See Park Video Fort Smith National Historic Site originally established as a fort to keep the peace as Cherokee and white settlers migrated west into lands already peopled by the Osage. Later this was the site of Judge Issac C. Parker's court. We visited both the...
For the last several years the two of us have been relying on GPS technology to guide us in our travels. We used a maps program on our Mac iBook beginning in '04 then switched to a Magellan around '07, then began using GPS Drive on iPhone in January '12....
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.

The Cooperstown KOA near Richfield Springs, New York is Home for tonight. We've enjoyed some state park stays but full hookups and a laundry room are in order for tonight to get ready for a week involving moochdocking, T@B storage, and a family visit. When we made a...
US-20 makes it way across upstate New York through some gorgeous scenery and we're enjoying poking our way eastward, taking our time and just enjoying the journey. This afternoon we aimed for Cayuga Lake State Park just southeast of Seneca Falls, New York on the...
