The last time we visited Sugarcreek our dear friends Elsie and Sarah invited us to their house for homemade Rhubarb Pie and Garden Tea. Tonight we invited them to join us for dinner and requested they choose a restaurant new to all of us. Malcuit's Tavern in Strasburg...
It's what we do. More specifically, it's what Steve does. The self described "back sliding engineer" is constantly assessing our T@B 400's design looking for ways to improve its usability. This latest change eliminates the need to totally disassemble to dinette in...
Although today's departure wasn't until afternoon we still stopped for a pre-departure meal at Bojangles. Usually we indulge in a breakfast biscuit sandwich but this time the sandwiches were grilled chicken. From there we headed to Wytheville and a KOA with which we...
For the past several years we have traveled with a Zamp 80W solar panel suitcase and found ourselves underpowered in dry camping situations. One issue in our smaller T@B was that the battery was undersized when paired with a 12V refrigerator, even with its efficient...
One more stop on the journey back to our house. A couple of years ago we were one of the first to find a geocache placed at this rest area west of Waynesville NC. Today we learned there's another cache here but we opted not to scramble up to retrieve it. Sometimes...
One year ago today we signed the papers and hitched a brand new custom built T@B 400 to Eric the Red. Since then we've lived in this gem for more than five months, 159 nights to be exact, and have driven to, stayed in, and visited at least one point of interest in...
Ten days ago when we exited the Blue Ridge Parkway at Laurel Springs NC, we passed Wild Woody's Campground & Antiques. Instead of stopping we started researching and making plans. We learned that it had been featured on North Carolina Weekend. Now we're headed...
After an overnight at Coshocton KOA we headed south. So many times we have driven the West Virginia Turnpike between Princeton and Parkersburg and seen a sign for Pipestem Resort State Park. So many times we've commented that some day we need go there. Today's the day...
It's been a great visit to nüCamp late last week and the early part of this week. We stayed in a courtesy site so we could turn our T@B over to Austin first thing Monday morning for installation of tank heaters. Over the past couple of days, we have had many a good...
It's just for an overnight but when we learned our T@B would be at nüCamp until sometime tomorrow for installation of tank heaters, we took the advice of a local friend and booked a room at The Wall House Hotel. It's lovely ultra contemporary accommodations seem to...
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.

Today we begin our exploration of the Mississippi River along The Great River Road. Actually we've been fascinated by the great river from Lake Itasca, the Mississippi Headwaters in northern Minnesota to Destrehan Plantation near New Orleans, we've visited quite a few...
Today's a long travel day in our book, from Island View Lodge to Bemidji KOA Journey. Apple Maps tells us it's a 287 mile journey almost exclusively along US-2 and that it should take us 5 hours 18 minutes. Then of course there's a need for stops along the way not to...
This is It! Proclaims a sign at the end of Fisher Lake Road, as you arrive at Island View Lodge near Mercer, Wisconsin. We first arrived here for a Harvest Hosts overnight last August and immediately fell in love with the feel of this place. Before we departed we...
