When we learned that our great friends Michael & Jeff we available to meet us for dinner tonight we headed for Deer Creek State Park so we could rendezvous in Mount Sterling. We gathered around the round table in the window corner of Ben & Joy’s Restaurant...

Road Trip
Familiar Place, Different Approach
Today we headed to Wytheville yet again. After five nights on the road it's time for one night in a full service campground. We’re ready for a propane tank refill (it was only a quarter full when we left and we used it for heat on some cold nights), for a laundry...
A 920 Encounter
As we were headed toward Linville Falls along the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC we saw a Cirrus truck camper traveling in the other direction. When returned to the campground we drove around hoping to see it. Sure enough, it was parked on the other side of the circle....
Jack’s Wines
It was Cherry Bounce that brought us back to Linville Falls Winery. Last time we were here we had to stop back by to get two more bottles of George Washington's favorite. This time we got to meet the founder, Jack Wiseman, and taste a white blend he is developing....
Grandfather Country Store
Once before we darkened the door of Grandfather Country Store, an historic business on US 221 at Holloway Mountain Road just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Blowing Rock NC. That time we were in search of ice but came away enriched by a delightful conversation with...
Seasonal Reverse
See Park Video Yesterday we traveled only 242 miles but in a northerly direction and with a gain in altitude that took us back to early Spring. The deciduous trees are bare, this morning the temperature is in the thirties, and we see robins! We're on Site A32, a...
Georgia On Our Map
After three nights at Site #6 at Tallulah Gorge and explorations of the lake, the gorge, the hiking trails, not to mention Blue Creek and Goats on the Roof, we're putting Georgia on our map. In addition we're adding a few more stickers to highlight a few of the fun...
Tallulah Lake
A short distance from our campsite is a delightful walk along the northern shore of Tallulah Lake, formed in 1914 with the construction of the hydroelectric dam to provide electricity to the booming metropolis of Atlanta. The lake provides recreational opportunity...
Nitro Ice Cream
Yes, Goats on the Roof is a genuine tourist trap complete with a blue dyed waterfall, a fudge shop, plenty of kitschy souvenirs, and a small herd of goats that are well trained to expect a hand out from any and all humans. But there's a redeeming feature, they serve...
The North Rim Trail
After a great film at the interpretive center here at Tallulah Gorge State Park in the Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia, we headed out to the North Rim Trail to get a look at one of the grandest canyons in the eastern United States. It's awe inspiring especially...
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.

Fueling Our Adventures in Wakefield
As we prepared to make the short drive this morning to our weeklong stay in Wisconsin's Northwoods, we determined that we a good choice for a grocery stop might be the Sunday Lake Supermarket in the town of Wakefield, Michigan just a couple miles down the road. It was...
Sky Bar Reprise
Tonight is the last of four one night stops this week. We stayed here at Big Snow Ski Resort near Wakefield MI last year on a Friday night. That time we were among several Harvest Hosts guests. Tonight we are the lone camper and have a prime spot in the shade with...
