See Park Videos What a beautiful experience! We broke camp at Loft Mountain and headed north on the Skyline Drive through rain and fog. Traffic was light and we took our time occasionally pulling over to allow a faster driver to pass while we admired the vista. This...
Such a delight to awaken warm and cozy to the sound of raindrops on the roof and to linger a while staring at the raindrops sliding down the curve of the stargazer window. We're hoping our tenting neighbors have fared well in this all night rain as we remember a...
Once we had the T@B-400 comfortably ensconced on Site 58 at Loft Mountain we headed to MP 81 and the Doyles River Falls Trail. It's a fun walk through the woods, no panoramic views on this trail, just a continual downward slope. Partway down we were advised that there...
Last night we stayed at a family owned campground just north of Waynesboro VA where we took the opportunity to shop for groceries at the local Kroger. As we were poised to depart this morning we met JustJohn, a fellow T@B owner. He'd pulled in later than we did last...
Spent the weekend goofing off, doing some reading for pleasure, eating simple meals prepared from the leftovers of our last grill night, napping, enjoying the slightly cooler sunshiny days, just recharging our batteries, and enjoying life in our T@B-400. This morning...
As we were fueling up this morning near Greensboro NC, Foxy & Taz asked to see our trailer. At the beginning of our visit she was aware of the T@B and anxious to learn more. Now they're both excited and seriously considering moving up from a pop up camper for...
The road trip calls and we must go. It's been a pleasant sojourn at the house but adventure is out there and we're anxious to find it! After an interruption of two and a half weeks, we're back! Heading east on I-40 looking for possibilities!
When your own house is in the path of totality for the first Solar Eclipse to travel across the country from coast to coast in ninety-nine years, the best place to travel to may be your own home. When we realized that, we tweaked our Summer Ramble plans so that we...
Plans change. We thought we would drive the entire Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway but instead we're headed to the house to drop the trailer tonight and catch an early morning flight to Texas to be with family. Back in 1975 the two of us planned to drive the entire...
What started out as a hike to Lewis Falls turned into a celebration of our Appalachian Trail experiences. Fifty years ago this summer Karen backpacked a week long AT trip in The Smokies with her Dad and a brother and sister. Just as we and Steve's friend Stan...
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.

What an unexpected delight! When we headed to Marlin's Family Restaurant in Mitchell, South Dakota for a Sunday brunch, we never expected to enter a time warp, but suddenly Steve was transported back to childhood with the two-toned green 1956 Chevy Bel Air parked next...
Overview Video Combine archeology and a Harvest Hosts location and you've got our attention. Although we were not able to do an overnight stay, we did still get to visit an amazing location. The Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village near Mitchell, South Dakota is an...
Back in 2018 when we visited this area to see some of Laura Ingalls Wilder's homes, we spent an overnight at Lake Thompson Recreation Area near DeSmet, South Dakota. At the time we'd been wishing for a lakeside campsite, but last night on waterfront Site 39 we were...
