Karen's cousin, Phil, called recently to tell us that his friend, Greg, had just ordered a T@B Clamshell. So of course when we stopped in Lexington for a visit with Phil and Jill, we had to meet up with Greg and Deb. Their T@B is on order and in the queue at the...

Road Trip
Off the Beaten Path
After a month long sojourn at Tween Creeks, we're back on the road for a few days. We've traveled US-441/US-129 through Athens and Gray to Macon countless times through the years. It's our method of avoiding Atlanta traffic. But we've always taken the bypass around...
Back to Blue Skies
Overcast skies seemed to dominate our visit to Ohio. There were frigid days with ice on the sidewalk and crunchy snow in the yard and some days warm enough to melt all that, providing us with dry roads for our departure, but we never saw blue skies for more than a few...
Leaving the Keys
This morning we had the distinct pleasure of meeting with the nüCamp design team and reviewing our experiences during our beta test of the T@B 400. It's been an honor and a pleasure to have been given the responsibility to test and report back on how well this beauty...
Taking Penelope Home
As we have traveled with her, this particular prototype unit of the T@B 400 has taken on the name of Penelope. Today was the last leg of the journey to take Penelope home. We delayed our departure from Wytheville this morning because of freezing fog conditions and as...
Re-Winterized
After a couple of balmy nights at the KOA in Richmond Hill GA, we awakened to gray skies and a forecast of colder temperatures and rain reminding us that today's the day to winterize! We each luxuriated in one last shower then began packing. Knowing that we have...
Prototype Approved!
Friends of ours from the past few Tearstocks, Shelly and Charlie came by today for an inspection tour of nüCamp 's T@B 400. They went through and around it checking it out carefully and like us have a couple of tweaks they would like to suggest but definitely loved...
Almost Perfect
There is little more we could ask for in a campsite in mid-December and for only a five dollar bill per night! The weather suits our clothes. We slept under light blankets last night and we're wearing shorts this afternoon. Campground amenities include drinking water,...
And We Partied
Sunday night's dinner party was just the start. Gary came by. Dinner for three cooked and eaten inside the trailer, that's a new experience for us! And then Vivian joined us for a couple of hours visit. We realized a need to find a way to accommodate a fourth person...
An Open Stargazer
This morning we awakened beneath an open stargazer window with a view of sea grape and palm trees just feet away from the waters of Mullet Key Bayou. The stargazer window an the back of the 400 is a delight!
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
nüCamp Rocks!
The two of us left from üCamp on the 20th of last month to begin our 2021 Summer Ramble and over the course of thirty days had had adventures in just three states. From eastern central Ohio we'd traveled and explored parts of Indiana then on to Illinois. At Starved...
Polancic’s
After our short hike to the top of Starved Rock, we headed into the nearby town of Ottawa, Illinois. After learning that the museum we wanted to visit was closed on Tuesdays, we headed to our real destination, Bill Polancic's Meats. Independent food emporiums like...
Starved Rock State Park
More than once we heard that if we're headed north, we ought to consider Starved Rock State Park. We were warned to go mid-week since it's crowded with Chicagoans on the weekend. We checked the website for the campground and noticed a large number of first-come,...
