One of the very early wagon train travelers across the American continent was John Sutter, a Swiss immigrant who became a Mexican citizen and landowner in what was then Alta California, a Mexican province. There he proceeded to build a settlement where Sacramento is...
Leaving Nevada behind, we're in California! We've been traveling I-80 more or less following the Truckee River in a direction opposite to its flow from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake. It's gorgeous and cool up here at 7,056 feet. The Pacific Crest Trail passes through...
See Park Geology Video See Park Videos What a wonderful overnight stay here in the desert in Southern California. We approached from the south. With a call to recreation.gov we had learned that several sites at Cottonwood Cottonwood Campground in Joshua Tree National...
Certainly we've avoided the busiest, most congested roadways in Southern California, but to travel from Santa Paula to JoshuaTree National Park involves contending with a fair degree of LA traffic with our trailer in tow. Fortunately in the last couple of days, we've...
One of the effects of travel for us is an emotional connectedness to the places we have visited. When we learned on the news this past winter about the Thomas Fire in California's Ventura County we immediately began fearing for the people and places we knew and had...
Today we had an errand to run. We visited the UPS store in Santa Paula, California to fill out our absentee ballots in the presence of a notary public and put them in the mail. Then we treated ourselves to a drive through the Santa Clara Valley to Francisco's Fruits...
See Park Video Our stay in this place in the Eastern Sierra was incredible. We left on place on Movie Drive reluctantly but we have made promises and it's time to roll on, although we did take a few minutes to visit again with David, Agneta, and Garbo before...
Although we'd had intentions of arising before dawn to see the stars and to watch the great golden orb creep above the horizon. The comforts of our T@B bed won out. We awakened to fluffy white clouds in a gorgeous blue sky and drove into Lone Pine to savor a Sunday...
It’s been a great day for just chilling out. We took a short walk this morning to meet the owners of a nearby T@B 400. David & Agneta have been boondocking here in the Alabama Hills BLM since Tuesday. Mid-afternoon found us enjoying burgers at Mt Whitney...
Brilliant stars shining through our Stargazer window, just above our bed awakened us this morning just after 5:30 AM and propelled us out of bed, into warm clothes, and out the door of our T@B into an amazing nightscape here in the Alabama Hills of California. The...
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.

It was a fabulous opportunity to not only view the 2024 Solar Eclipse from within the path of totality but also to enjoy a five day weekend with friends from the T@B trailer community at Ohio’s East Harbor State Park on the shore of Lake Erie.
Spent a most enjoyable March sunny day watching alligators and hiking in St Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge south of Tallahassee, Florida.
Eight nights at sea aboard Carnival Pride gave us visits to Costa Rica, Cayman Islands, and a Panama Canal Partial Passage as well as lots of fun, camaraderie, and of course dancing.
