It's the annual Bella Vista craft fair extravaganza weekend and we have Sharon and Mike as our personal guides. First stop was the annual Methodist Men Pancake Day. What a fun community event. Excellent pancakes and accompaniments served with a sense of fun. We made a...
After our foray into the art world Sharon and Mike took us on a tour of Eureka Springs, a wonderful historic town in the heart of the Ozarks. We shot photos of beautiful Victorian houses from the car windows, stopped to check out the Spring Street Grotto, had a...
Today we had the pleasure of visiting Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, an unexpected treat in Bentonville, Arkansas. With Sharon and Mike we wandered through galleries marveling at the wonderful pieces of American art gathered here. At one point we were able to...
A Yelp! reviewer said that besides the Dalton Gang, that the Dalton Museum was also about Shoeless Joe. That was the hook we needed but it turned out to be about a different baseball legend, Walter Johnson, a Baseball Hall of Famer who grew up in Kansas. Despite the...
 With this morning's very wet start and having to deal with some errant glycol in the closet, we didn't get a second cuppa this morning so as we headed in search of a coffee shop. Yelp! helped us find Utopia in Coffeyville for a bit of yummy before we went in search...
Happy Windsday! Last night we stayed at Card Creek Campground on Elk City Lake near Independence, Kansas. It's an Army Corps of Engineers site. When we arrived yesterday afternoon we noted that some of the waterfront sites were flooded but fellow campers told us the...
There are at least half a dozen places across the country where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived in her lifetime and many more that relate to her life and her family. Last year we had the opportunity to visit the Little House in the Big Woods in Pepin, Wisconsin. Today...
As we left the Dallas Fort Worth area yesterday we headed north into Oklahoma through hilly country into the Oklahoma City metro area. We paused for the night at Pioneer RV Park Site 26 near Guthrie, north of OKC. We've driven through hills and plains, seen wind...
The price of lingering an extra day in Palo Duro is that we need to make the seven hour trip to Bedford in one day hopefully arriving before the afternoon rush hour. We've just hit our first traffic slowdown in the Dallas Fort Worth metro area. Hopefully we'll arrive...
It's the grand canyon of the Texas, in the panhandle. Our first visit here was in 1984 when we and our little boys were traveling with their Aunt Lou and Uncle Bill. We stayed in one of the Mesquite campsites and did some hiking out from there. Then in June 2014 the...

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.

Before we booked a site at Harmonie State Park we had not heard of the nearby community of New Harmony, Indiana but today we immersed ourselves in the history of this fascinating community. We had a bit of a head start after a delightful conversation last evening with...
Our visits to Bloomington, Indiana are always amazing but this visit has taken it to the next level. We were privileged to have the opportunity to moochdock in CJ & Phil's driveway over the busiest campground weekend of the year and to share a spirit of adventure...
Like most Americans, we knew little about the 9th President of the United States except for his 1840 campaign slogan, "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" and that he died one month into his presidency presumably of pneumonia after delivering a two hour long inaugural address...
