It must have been the Eighth of July. We were traveling south along The Trace in Land Between the Lakes we saw a Corvette Caravan heading north.  There wasn't enough time to grab the camera but a web search yielded a YouTube video of a 2014 Corvette Caravan in much...
One of the beloved features of Gigi II, our T@B-Clamshell, was the outdoor kitchen. It was a delight to just open up, have everything within easy reach and make a meal in the outdoors under the shelter of the hatch cover. It invited us outside and kept the heat and...
Crowded campgrounds! Especially in resort areas. We headed today for The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with our eye on the Army Corps of Engineers Canal Campground near Grand Rivers KY. Of the 110 campsites here all 108 reservable sites are taken for...
If you visit Grand River's KY, it seems a visit tp Patti's 1880 Settlement is a must. We were warned we should make reservations but didn't. Turns out our wait wasn't too long. An online reservation though would have been quite easy to make. We also were warned about...
Two days ago neither one of us had a burning desire to throw a pair of old shoes into a tree in the middle of the woods in Milltown IN, but after doing so today, it feels like we have accomplished a bucket list item. As we were leaving Bloomington yesterday we checked...
With Bloomington in our rear view, we stopped a little east of Palmyra IN, at Buffalo Trace Campground. Southern Indiana near names familiar to Karen from early childhood. Evansville, Brandenburg, Shively. This a a delightful local park complete with swimming beach,...
As we celebrate Independence Day, we're pondering our own freedom to travel. Our ramble with our T@B-400 this summer will be divided into segments. From now until the last week of July is from Bloomington to Sugarcreek. Shall we explore just Indiana and Ohio? Shall we...
What better way to celebrate a pleasant summer evening in downtown Bloomington than with incredible ice cream? In the company of our favorite locals we directed our steps in the direction of Hartzell’s Ice Cream  a family run business that produces amazing ice cream....
Our Bloomington IN guides led us to their favorite burger place this evening. BuffaLouie's occupies a storied location across the street from the Indiana University campus, once occupied by The Book Nook where Hoagie Carmichael wrote "Stardust". It's a popular...
Sunday found us back at Farm Bloomington perusing the Brunch Menu. The two of us settled on local interpretations of classics. The Hoosier Poutine added poached eggs to the classic french fries, cheese curds, and gravy dish. The Indiana Benedict featured sausage and...
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.

A few days ago we made a reservation at Red Pine Campground in Saginaw, Minnesota, just west of Duluth, for tonight. This afternoon we pulled in, walked into the office, and discovered that they had no reservation in our name. Oops! We checked our email and discovered...
This is it! There was something about their write up on the Harvest Hosts website that really intrigued us and drew us to stay at Island View Lodge in the Wisconsin Northwoods near Mercer. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Erin and soon after befriended by...
An overnight last night at the Hayward KOA Holiday at Hayward, Wisconsin afforded us the opportunity to get laundry done. Then today we headed just a little bit north and east into the far west of the Upper Peninsula just over the Wisconsin border. Home tonight is Big...
