Since our original plans had been to drop off Gigi and do the paperwork at Haydocy then go to nüCamp to pick up the 400, nothing would do but to continue on to Sugarcreek where we were met in the lobby by Jeremy. It soon became apparent to Jeremy that we were well...
After we finished the paperwork at Haydocy this morning, we parked Gigi and our new T@B 400 side by side, readied the new trailer for travel and bid a final good bye to Gigi. We feel confident she will enjoy lots of wonderful adventures with her new family. When we...
Today we hitched up Gigi for our final journey together. It’s been a glorious four years as we have traveled these forty-eight contiguous states with her. She’s facilitated so many adventures and the opportunity to make so many friends. It’s been with a degree of...
For years we've traveled "backroads" from Franklin NC to Macon GA to avoid Atlanta traffic. Over time the highway department has built bypasses around the towns along US-129 and US-441. It makes the trip shorter but we miss the local color. Today we chose to  skip the...
Today we took a break from our intensive photo scanning, family history writing activities and joined friends Mary and Steve for a journey to Mills River, NC snd a tour of the state of the art Sierra Nevada brewing facility. Besides the opportunity to learn more about...
Heading west currently on I-30. We overnighted in Texarkana. Now as we are traveling through Greenville TX, Eric has hit the milestone of 100,000 miles! Boy have we had some fun adventures with this truck and anticipate lots more adventures yet to come. We have...
What an exciting place! nüCamp in March 2017! We spent the morning with Ed & Jake touring the brand new T@B-400 assembly line and talking with several people involved in the development of this newest member of the nüCamp family. We got to visit the brand new...
As we were preparing to depart Tween Creeks the weather report suggested we'd be dealing with coolish temperatures. Maybe some rain but nothing about snow! But here we are in New Philadelphia and white stuff is coming out of the sky. Lucky for us it held off while...
Time for one more Goetta fix before we leave Cincinnati. We hugged Gail goodbye this morning, packed up our things, and headed to Poochie's Place on Ohio Pike for breakfast. One of us opted to forgo the eggs and just get a double order of Goetta for breakfast! Â By the...
This morning we made the trek to the Apple Store at Kenwood to seek the counsel of an Apple genius on several questions. As a result of Ray's helpful assistance we feel more comfortable with our plans to move forward with upgrading to Sierra, transitioning our photos...
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.

This trip we've slowed down considerably. In general we're looking to drive less than three hours between stops and generally stay for three or four days. Today's the first day of a transition. We're leaving Thomson Causeway Campground, an Army COE site on an island...
After a mere twenty hours of extra driving, we're back on track after our trek to Ohio and our return trek to Illinois. We did most of the trip on Sunday with an overnight at the Kanakee South KOA Holiday near Chebanse, Illinois. Then on Monday we settled in for three...
The crazy detour, from Illinois to Ohio, for warranty work on our little teardrop camper, has another benefit. We get to enjoy a weekend with family, moochdocking in our son's driveway, lunch out on a summer's day with our granddaughters while the parents are at work,...
