It's our first foray into Door County, Wisconsin. We secured a campsite at Bayshore County Park in Brown County, just a little south of the Door County line. One nice thing about this park is that half the sites are First Come so you can stand a good chance of getting...
Apparently even native Michiganders have trouble problem the name of this Big Spring near Manistique on Michigan's UP. But whether or not you can pronounce Kitch-iti-kipi, it's a place you should visit. It's a State Park that interprets the natural features of this...
Yesterday's route took us along the shore of Lake Michigan through Charlevoix, past the former World's Largest Cherry Pie Pan, Petoskey, and Mackinaw City, across the Mighty Mac, and then west on US-2, the Lake Michigan Scenic Highway almost to Naubinway. We then...
This morning as we ate breakfast, we pulled out the Canada map we acquired yesterday at AAA and began to figure out where we could go over the next couple of months. Do we want to venture into Canada now and head west through the provinces? We'd already begun to...
Who could resist an opportunity to enjoy ice cream prepared on site within sight of the dairy cows that produce the raw materials for this delicious frozen confection? Not us! Sally proposed a trip to Moomer's and we said "Yes!" We recall having tasted this great ice...
It's always great fun to have a local guide who can take you to their favorite spots but it's also fun when they are willing to try out a new place with you. Today at lunchtime we and Sally did just that. We headed to North Peak Brewery. When we saw the sign for...
Last night Sally was talking about the possibility of treating herself to a Canadian Rockies Train trip for an upcoming birthday. We thought it would be fun to go with her to the Traverse City AAA to begin the planning process. And the two of us took the opportunity...
One of the delights of hanging out with Sally is finding great places to eat. We chose Harrington's By the Bay on the shore of Grand Traverse Bay where each of us chose some delicious version of Fish & Chips as we relished the view from our waterfront window booth...
Once we were set up at Traverse City State Park across the highway from Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay, Sally drove out to meet us and to get a tour of Sc@rlett. She hasn't seen our specific version of the nüCamp T@B 400. However she did see Penelope, the prototype we...
Heading from Hartland Winery to Traverse City State Park we're beginning our Michigan adventures with a rest area geocache find near Kalamazoo. We're looking forward to a fun visit with Sally before heading to the Upper Peninsula and our westward trek.
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.

Five years ago we posted this on Facebook shortly after we completed a road test of nüCamp RV’s T@B 400 prototype. A few months later we placed an order for our very own 2018 T@B 400 and took delivery in May. Since then we’ve spent approximately half our nights...
As we’ve gone about establishing residency in northeastern Ohio this past month, the subject of cold winter weather has repeatedly come up. Our response has been to quip, “Yes, but we have an escape pod. We intend to head south.” The time has come. We’ve successfully...
Seven of us have piled into a seven passenger van (aka The Clown Car) and have ventured out into the snowy streets on a Christmas Eve adventure. First stop was Dunkin’ for morning beverages and a review of Christmas Eve/Road-trip traditions. Positivity rules with some...
