Cathy & Jay took delivery of their new black and silver clamshell T@B just before Tearstock in July. They were camped near us there at Atwood but we didn't really get to know them until they and their dog Zoe stayed a few sites from us in Cottonwood campground at...
One evening in September 1975 at Patrick Henry Inn after a long day of touring Williamsburg VA along with hordes of tourists, we watched a report on the evening news of two chimps, named Chuckie & Judy that had escaped from the local zoo. Just opened the...
After some deliberation and a stop at the Visitors Center at Port Angeles for information, we decided to make the drive up to the highest point in Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge. The ranger told us that at the entrance they would not permit more vehicles to...

Visitor Center Video What a meaningful Memorial Day this has been. Since our trip this morning from South Forty Campground near Petersburg, Virginia to Pocohantas State Park, near Chesterfield, Virginia east of Richmond would have taken only half an hour, we headed...
Isle of Wight Video With an estimated driving time of two hours between overnight stops today, we had time for to head into the historic town of Smithfield, Virginia to visit the most delightful Isle of Wight County Museum where Teresa enthusiastically greeted us and...
It's a strange feeling to be traveling this weekend from the North Carolina Outer Banks into Tidewater Virginia. Traditionally we have not had to worry about having campground reservations for Memorial Day weekend but knowing that most campgrounds would be full to...
