It's where Chipotle's sour cream comes from, an Amish family dairy farm certified for its humane animal care. We were invited to watch the milking this afternoon. We were impressed with the care the family took with the process from the milking of the cows and the...
Some of us volunteered to be up early Saturday morning to help finish up the temporary üCamp water so it will be ready for Monday morning when registration begins and the official rally gets underway. The first challenge of the day was finding the north end of the...
When we chose to arrive early at Winklepleck for the üCamp18 rally we were aware that there would be other events happening on the grounds over the weekend but thought that since our campsite was at the far end of the park that we would not be in the way. Turns out we...
Friends alerted us to the fact that the Amish Country Doughnuts truck would be open for business this morning so Amanda and the two of us headed out for a sweet experience in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Even just ordering these huge doughnuts at the counter is a fun experience....
One of the advantages of putting down stakes in Sugarcreek, Ohio a few days ahead of schedule, is the opportunity to run errands in somewhat familiar territory. This morning we had the pleasure of grocery shopping at Buehler's in Dover, one of a small chain of...
On impulse this morning we modified our plans and headed to Sugarcreek, Ohio. We are slated to participate in the annual nüCamp rally, a gathering of teardrop campers next week. üCamp18 doesn't officially begin for five days but we weren't the first to arrive at...
Our destination today was the historic marker on the banks of French Creek where John Chapman/Johnny Appleseed lived and worked more than two hundred years ago. We parked, walked to the marker, took pictures, and discovered that this was the site of the 1787 Fort...
Just on the fringe of Allegany National Forest on the banks of Tionesta Creek, we’re enjoying the comforts of Tionesta Campground Site #42. It’s an Army Corps of Engineers campground with more amenities than usual. We’ve got full hookups! We got to indulge in full...
In the four years we've been Geocaching, we've logged more than 750 finds. Some have been easy to find, Park & Grabs, others have required long treks cross country or along trails through the woods. Yet others have been urban finds, usually tiny containers, that...
Welcome to our new domain! Ever since 2004 we have had our own website. It started with a simple homepage with a gallery of photos then grew to a blog hosted on Apple’s iWeb on which we chronicled our 2008 cross country road trip. In time Apple abandoned that service...
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.

Last night we enjoyed our stay at Dam East-McNair Campground, near Carlyle, Illinois remembering our 2016 stay at Dam West, on the other end of the dam. So today's journey was a trek across the Illinois from just east of the Mississippi River to just over the Ohio...
“Build it and they will come.” It's the theme of the 1989 movie, Field of Dreams which we watched shortly after our teenaged son read W.P. Kinsella's novel, Shoeless Joe. Through the years we've rewatched this film quite a few times fascinated with the historical...
Effigy Mounds Video The 10:30AM Ranger led Fire Point Hike at Effigy Mounds National Monument near Harper's Ferry, Iowa was well worth the effort to leave our campsite early this morning. Located adjacent to Iowa's section of the Great River Road overlooking the...
