Road Trip
Fed and Restocked
The T@B-400 refrigerator was in desperate need of a refill. We had deliberately used up the perishables in anticipation of storing the trailer for our foray into Boston and six days of meals shared with family and friends. Now we're back on the road. Today we traveled...
Springfield Armory
Ranger Tour Video After our visit to Harper's Ferry we were intrigued by the chance to visit Springfield Armory. The two facilities were authorized by Congress in 1794 during the Washington administration. After the Union torching in 1861 of the facilities in Virginia...
Storrowton Tavern
This delightful eatery, Storrowton Tavern is located in a museum of historic buildings in East Springfield, Massachusetts offers traditional New England fare. Friends of ours who live nearby guided us here where the four of us feasted on Yankee Pot Roast, Fried...
In a Driveway
Sometimes it's more appropriate to put the trailer in storage. Our plan is to visit family in Boston for a long weekend. Driving in with our F-150 is stressful enough, it's definitely not sane to pull a camping trailer through those narrow streets. This time we have...
Mystic Seaport
It's been on our list for decades and today we visited Mystic Seaport Museum. Knowing we'd be dodging raindrops and frustrated by not enough time we immersed ourselves in a visit. We toured the 1841 built whaler the Charles W. Morgan and learned about the whaling...

Dingman’s Campground
It's Labor Day, the last day of the last weekend of summer. Tomorrow the kids will all be back to school and parents back to work. All along the highway today we spied RVs apparently heading home. Here at Dingman's Campground Site 64 there's no one around. The site...
The Hershey Story
As we have traveled through the Harrisburg PA area many times we've commented that we needed to visit one of these days. Hershey is a legendary chocolate company, a community, and an amusement park. Our personal interest was in the origins of the chocolates that...

The Orphan Train
Traveling south on US 81, we made our way into Kansas and shortly thereafter noticed signs for the Orphan Train Depot and Museum in Concordia, Kansas. Unfortunately for us the museum buildings were closed but the signs and exhibits on the outside gave us some insight...

Dear Subscribers, thanks for bearing with us. When we returned home last September we focused our energies on things other than posting travel blogs. Now as we prepare to head out with our T@B in the near future, we're excited about focusing on blog posts from the...
