One more night here at this fabulous little spot, Colorado at it's finest, a place that we call home. Who wouldn't want that view out their front door? A few days ago when we extended our stay, Cripple Creek KOA had no reservations available for Saturday night but...
After a lovely leisurely day in camp yesterday we headed into Cripple Creek this morning to for dual purposes. While our transportation was undergoing routine maintenance, we headed to the closest attraction, the Cripple Creek Jail Museum. A state of the art facility...
There are a couple of advantages of planting ourselves in one place for multiple days. We can get to know people and learn from their expertise and we can take time to do some of errands that are needed to keep us on the road. Today Terri in the campground office made...
Almost as soon as we arrived at the Cripple Creek KOA in Colorado on Sunday, we were in love and beginning to entertain thoughts of staying longer. On Monday we extended our stay by the one extra day that Site 175 was available. Then this morning we headed to the...

Our plan for this morning was to visit Garden of the Gods, it seems to be one of Must Do places in Colorado but we no more than entered the area and saw the crowds climbing on the rocks before we were ready to turn around and get out of there. Instead we visited the...
Knowing we wanted to check out some of the sights in the Colorado Springs area, we picked the Cripple Creek KOA to serve as our base. Looks like we chose well. Located just outside of the historic gold mining towns of Victor and Cripple Creek, this campground is...
Last night as we were lying in bed we looked at the All Stays app to see what the possibilities were for a campground more or less a hundred miles west of Dodge City. The US-400 corridor isn’t exactly crowded with campgrounds and we were rather hoping to make it into...
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 fifty years ago next month that the Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy. Today we had the distinct privilege of visiting some of the places important in that offensive which ultimately led the Allied victory in the Second World War.
Our brief stop in Portland Port in Dorset, England yielded just enough time to get a tiny taste of the historic town of Weymouth, a Cream Tea, and a desire to return.
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
