On our first visit to Bloomington in the Fall of 2015 we were introduced to JL Waters Adventure Outfitters. Back then Emily outfitted each of us shoes that have served us well on mountain trails and city streets. We've worn the treads off the soles. Time for new ones....

Road Trip
A Bloomington SaturdayÂ
There's nothing like having local guides. Folks who know can lead you to the best  Croissants and Iced Coffee at the amazing Farmers Market in Bloomington IN then stop at Rasta Pops  to try some delectable gourmet popsicles,  before leading you through a delightful...
A Sunny Day Encounter
Sunny Day and her person, Verna have chosen as their adventure this summer, camp hosting in Indiana's Yellowwood Forest. We chose an overnight stay here expressly for the purpose of spending time with the two, and it was most delightful to sit, share wine, talk T@B,...
Overnight at Kokosing
It was a good day at Sugarcreek. We brunched at Wall House, browsed and lunched at Lehman's, enjoyed iced coffee and a little ice cream at New Grounds Cafe then visited with friends and learned even more about the 400 at nüCamp.  Then it was time to ramble. The...
A Sugarcreek Vista
Sugarcreek called us back again. Turns out our 400 needed one more tweak. We're camped tonight in one of the nüCamp courtesy sites. Tomorrow we'll turn our baby over to Marvin for a battery change out then we'll be on our way. For now though it's glorious to watch the...
Wytheville AgainÂ
It's gotten to be a bit routine. We make the reservation via the KOA app. When we arrive Kayla greets us like old friends. We get the 400 situated then walk over to the Family Fun Center and order our pizza. Fifteen minutes later dinner arrives at our doorstep. After...
Connecting in WaynesvilleÂ
Stop number one on our Summer Ramble is lunch with Sharon & Paul at Fat Buddies in Waynesville NC. We four became friends in the early 1980's and our older children were playmates. In the early 1990's we were neighbors and our younger children were best buddies....
Wanderlust Strikes Again
Despite the glories of our place in the mountains, we hear the call of the road. Starting today we are trading the comforts of our mountain house for the delights of living on the road in our 400. It's true that we travel mostly without reservations and avoid...
Rhododendron Time
The rhododendrons are in bloom in our mountain cove. We're camped in the driveway as we make preparations for leaving on our Summer Ramble. We're often on the road by the time these lovely flowers make their appearance so it's a distinct treat to enjoy their...
T@B-400 Friends
Phil & Pat discovered through the T@B Forum that not only are we fellow 400 owners but that we live in the next county. Soon we were emailing each other then talking on the phone. Today we got the opportunity to meet and hang out in our 400 while we traded tips...
