Winton Woods rather feels like home to us. It's often where we put down stakes when we come to Cincinnati to visit family but this time we came to enjoy quiet and be alone after the wonderfully busy eleven days in Sugarcreek. It's a Sunday night and much of the...

Road Trip
A New Tradition
It was a morning of hugs and goodbyes as we exchanged contact information, offered moochdocking opportunities, and bid friends safe travels. The rest of us then gathered under the picnic shelter where we were joined by Jenn, an intrepid T@B traveler who'd not been...
Bahler Street Pizza
Tonight's the grand finale of üCamp18! We all gathered in the pavilion to enjoy Bahler Street gourmet pizza prepared onsite with a mobile wood fired pizza oven, to enjoy live music, and cheer for folks as we learn the results of the ballot counts. It's been a great...
An Evening in Baltic
As an interlude several of us made the short journey from Sugarcreek to Baltic, Ohio to East Main Kitchen for conversation and comfort food. We can highly recommend the Roast Beef Dinner! From there we moved across the street to Baltic Mill Winery where we lingered in...
Good as New and Prettier
On their way to üCamp18 with their venerable T@BOO42 on Monday, our friends Rich and Susan were involved in a three car accident that caused serious damage to the rear end of their T@B both interior and exterior. Yesterday morning they stopped by the breakfast...
Meeting Mandy Lea
A few years ago Mandy Lea made a decision to live a more deliberate life. She purchased a T@G travel trailer and made plans to trade her workaday job for free lance photography and a life on the road. There's a cool back story as to how she came to the attention of...
Everybody Loves Truman
Our next door neighbor arrived yesterday evening and we got to meet Patrick, Patty, and Truman of Travels with Delaney fame live and in person. We've been following their video blog since shortly after they purchased their T@B 400 in late December. We'd corresponded a...
Field Trip to Kidron
Six of us piled into a Highlander for a trip to Lehman's, originally founded in 1955 to stock non-electric equipment and supplies in demand in the middle of Ohio's Amish community. These days the Lehman's store here in Kidron is patronized not only by local Amish and...
Sunset Over Winklepleck
The party continues. We walked to Glenhaven with a gaggle of friends where rather than join the long line for refreshments, we just grabbed a table and continued visiting until the line diminished. As the evening progressed more folks joined us. Eventually we migrated...
Monday Arrivals
Today’s the day, the official check-in and kick-off for üCamp18! Over the last few days more than a dozen of us arrived early and settled in. Those of us with previous üCamp experience helped others find their place within Winklepleck and when needed guided newbies...
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
Forty-Nine Years Ago
We’ve just celebrated our Forty-Ninth Anniversary in western Massachusetts. We opted to linger a while longer with our trailer parked in Greg’s driveway. It’s a salubrious time of year here. For dinner on our anniversary we asked Greg to join us for drinks and dinner...
Augmented Cahokia
On our first visit to Cahokia Mounds State Park near Collinsville, Illinois, across the river from St Louis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we were so impressed with the importance of this site we chose to join the Cahokia Mounds Museum Society to support ongoing...
Long and Winding Road
Today has been a comedy of errors. Our plan had been to visit Cahokia then head on to our campsite near Carlyle, Illinois. All that would have been about four hours of driving. But as we were preparing to leave Fisherman’s Corner COE Campground near Moline, Illinois...
