Besides short travel days and longer stays, this trip is also remarkable in that we don’t have a destination. It’s about exploration especially of the small towns scattered across the country. And we’re finding a lot of city park campgrounds often located within easy...
When we first arrived at Arnold’s Campground RV Park in International Falls, Minnesota, we learned Amanda had arrived just minutes before us. Set up was minimal, just plug into shore power and put down stabilizers before setting up our chairs in the shade. Right away...
Video: Voyageurs National Park This has been an amazing introduction to an incredible place. We successfully managed to rendezvous with our dear friend Amanda on her journey east from Washington State as we were making our way west. Actually we'd both departed from...
This week has been a dream come true for Karen. Ever since 1962 when she not only became best friends with Ann, the new girl at school, who later became a college roommate, but developed a friendship with her whole family, Karen has dreamt of visiting two small towns...
Soudan Mine Tour Video - Click Here After purchasing our tickets online yesterday we headed this morning over to the Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park just east of Tower, Minnesota for the Soudan Underground Mine Tour where we had the privilege of...
After settling into our home for the week at HooDoo Point Campground on the shore of Vermillion Lake near Tower, Minnesota Monday, we drove the ten miles around Pike Bay to the Bois Forte Heritage Center today. It'd have been a two mile flight from our campsite if we...
A few days ago we made a reservation at Red Pine Campground in Saginaw, Minnesota, just west of Duluth, for tonight. This afternoon we pulled in, walked into the office, and discovered that they had no reservation in our name. Oops! We checked our email and discovered...
This is it! There was something about their write up on the Harvest Hosts website that really intrigued us and drew us to stay at Island View Lodge in the Wisconsin Northwoods near Mercer. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Erin and soon after befriended by...
An overnight last night at the Hayward KOA Holiday at Hayward, Wisconsin afforded us the opportunity to get laundry done. Then today we headed just a little bit north and east into the far west of the Upper Peninsula just over the Wisconsin border. Home tonight is Big...
Our home these last four nights has been Dalrymple City Park Campground just three-quarters of a mile north of downtown Bayfield, Wisconsin, right on Lake Superior. We arrived shortly after eleven on Sunday morning and successfully scored Site #14, one of the 25...
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.

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
