This will be a slightly longer stay than the last two. We'll be at Winton Woods Site 55 for three nights so set up today included the awning and canopy as well as the associated chairs, tables, and rugs. Once we finished with that and got a quick shower we headed to...

Road Trip
Columbus
It's a small burg in the middle of Indiana that's notable for some outstanding architecture. Today we just buzzed through on our way from Bloomington to Cincinnati but noticed some great examples of public art, a glass dome atop the county jail and other picturesque...
Then Again
One of the advantages of traveling without reservations is the ability to change plans while enroute as we did today. After three hours on the road a bit of weariness set in. (And that's after a late night last night and a few busy hours this morning preparing the...
In Search of Pins
We're on the road again with Eric and Gigi. As part of our preparations we downloaded photos from both our phones then printed out the graphic showing pins at all the places we've taken photos at since January 2012. The vast majority of those have been in our travels...
Boondocking Trial
We're taking the opportunity while we are parked in the driveway at Tween Creeks to put our electrical system through its paces. We've disconnected from shore power and run off of battery overnight then today we've had the solar panels out all day. We managed to...
Antique Anvil
'Tis not everyday that one gets the opportunity to volunteer to transport an antique anvil cross country but that's what we have just done. Sherri's dad owned a Peter Wright anvil from the late 19th Century that had come down to him from his Uncle Herb. Sherri wants...
Battery Transplant
In anticipation of boondocking opportunities to come, we brought Gigi to Waynesville's Interstate Battery Center this morning for a battery transplant. We've upgraded to a Group 29 deep cycle marine battery which should provide us around 100 amp hours of power....
Kabooz’s
Carrying a little more luggage with us this time we opted to stay inside Penn Station during our layover. In doing so we rediscovered a treasure, Kabooz's. This time we indulged in a Knob Creek Old Fashioned, a Brooklyn Lager, the Sliders Special, and the best...
Singlo Tea
This afternoon we enjoyed tea and scones within view of Griffin's Wharf, the location of the Boston Tea Party back in 1773. One of the teas offered at Abigail's Tea Room is Singlo, a green tea that was the variety that was cold steeped in Boston Harbor that night. It...
Lunch in The City
Knowing before we left home that we would have plenty of time to grab lunch at one of the chain eateries in Penn Station but the timing might be tight to wander out onto neighboring streets and indulge in more authentic NY cuisine, we opted for the yummier. We walked...
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
At Home in Canton
A week ago we backed Sc@rlett into our son’s driveway and commenced a delightful visit that has involved so many great activities. We helped plant seeds for this year’s herb and vegetable garden, roasted S’Mores with granddaughters in the backyard over our new Solo...
Visiting Nimisila
Although the two of us visit the Canton/Sugarcreek area often and have stayed at several campgrounds in the area, the Nimisila Reservoir Metro Park Campground between Akron and Canton, Ohio had not been on our radar until Jenn (check out her Blog for videos on caring...
