As we were making our way back to I-69 to continue our northward trek we learned that the town of Ashley, Indiana is famous for its yellow water tower with a big smiley face and black bow tie. We did a brief detour to get a better look and marked it as "Been There" on...

Road Trip
Setting Up with Slushies
Tonight we're Harvest Host guests at Hartland Winery in Ashley, Indiana. When we arrived just before five this Saturday evening, the place was already hopping even before Autumn Grey took the stage. We got some Peach Wine Slushies and proceeded to set our T@B in place...
North of Knoxville
We've stayed here before, in fact it was ten years ago this month, on the first leg of our 35th Anniversary cross country tent camping trip. This time at the Clinton/Knoxville North KOA we're sandwiched in between big RVs in a full hookups pull through site. Usually...
Sony A5100
A few experiences last year made us realize that our 2004 Canon EOS 20D is a bit dated. Therefore we have been talking for a while about making the move to a mirrorless camera which would be lighter, more compact, and more advanced than the fabulous workhorse we've...
Back to Normal
Karen arrived home from Ireland very very late on Monday and proceeded to begin the recovery from the effects of the five hour time change. Steve packed up the four boxes of photos that he scanned while she was gone in preparation to ship them to Greg for long term...
Because of the Blog
Our dear friend Sherri follows our travels through this blog and today sent us a message suggesting we get together while the two of us are here in western NC. We used Yelp! to find Sherrill's Pioneer Restaurant in Clyde NC as a convenient location midway between her...
Coffee at Mosaic
There’s a lesson in there somewhere. On Saturday we called CityMac at Biltmore Park to make an appointment for service on Karen’s iPhone. And then proceeded to write down the appointment time in two different places, in one for 10AM and in the other for 12PM. Since...
FrostyBites
Who can resist FrostyBites? Well we don't seem to be able to especially on No Weigh Wednesdays when we can fill the small cup with as much frozen yogurt and toppings as we desire for only four dollars. We discovered this Sylva NC indie shop a few months ago when we...
East of Knoxville
Once we get within a day's drive of our house we find it difficult to stop for just one more overnight. True to form we left Cincinnati this morning telling ourselves we'd stop somewhere and explore one of those interesting places we always breeze past but now we're...
A Trip to Duluth
Actually we visited Duluth Trading Company in West Chester OH, just north of Cincinnati on I-75. Steve's cousin Mary has been employed there since before the store opened last year. We've been impressed with the DTC clothes she and her husband wear. And recently our...
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
Back in Bell@!
Seven days ago we had the opportunity to retrieve Bell@, our 2021 T@B 400 from the nüCamp Service Center in Sugarcreek, Ohio where she's been since October 7th. Back in May she was seriously damaged by two falling trees but still watertight and capable of travel until...
Whirlwind!
On Monday when we locked the door, left the key, and drove away from our mountain house we thought things were settling down. Little did we realize that life would continue to be a whirlwind for sometime yet. Here we are without a bed of our own and no sense yet of...
The Next Chapter – to Ohio and Beyond!
Life is an Adventure! Today we've taken a huge step in moving on to the next chapter in our lives. If all goes according to plan the sale of our mountain house will be complete within forty-eight hours. This morning we tucked the last few items into our truck, did a...
