Our Maine adventures have come to a halt. An early morning email alerted us of a need to head to Ohio to be with family for a while. The alpaca farm in Maine, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the maple farm in Vermont, the rendezvous with friends, the blazingly...
Any trip to Maine needs to include an incredible seaside meal of lobster. A friend in Florida gave us directions to Cook’s Lobster House on a spit of land on the north end of Bailey Island south of Brunswick overlooking Casco Bay. We headed there today for a midday...
It’s not unusual for people to ask us how we get our mail on the road. For someone doing a long trip once in a lifetime or once every few years, it may be okay to get a trusted friend or family member to help but if travel is a lifestyle, there are better options....
Ever since the movie Gettysburg based on the novel Killer Angels, America has rediscovered Joshua Chamberlain. This college professor turned soldier is featured in the story of the Union victory in Pennsylvania in 1863. Count us among those who are fascinated with the...
With various visits with our neighbors yesterday morning it was afternoon by the time we headed north to the Freeport/Durham KOA where we settled in and dealt with the chore of laundry. Today we wandered into Freeport best known as the home of LL Bean. We found...
Our hosts, John & Karen had early morning responsibilities at their church in New Sweden where the annual tag sale is this weekend so we were up early to see the morning mists over the lake and to visit with them a little more. Once they were off and we'd gotten...
Our hostess Karen grew up here. She and her husband John were married in St Petersburg where they were business owners, raised their three boys, and were important members of the community. But Karen's heart is here in New Sweden. She is part of the community of...
We've been consistently traveling east since we left Geneva, on Lake Erie, in Ohio. Today we trekked northward from Houlton, up US-1 into the interior, up to the Crown of Maine. Long stretches of highway through woodlands and farmlands. Lots of potato farms. Spudland....
We'd been talking about getting new shoes, then last night it became imperative. Steve's sole separated from his shoe. We identified a store in Bangor that carried the brands that we prefer so before heading into the remoter areas of Maine, we made a stop to re-shoe...
It started out as a quest for tea bags, hoping to find a store open in Portland ME on Thanksgiving, but turned into a hiatus in dinner preparations and all of us going to explore the area of the Portland Head Light at Port Elizabeth, Maine. A fun time was had by all.
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.

Departing aboard the Norwegian Pearl on a repositoning cruise as the first leg of a three month adventure.
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.
