Our first adventure today was to visit the Ace of Diamonds mine. We'd learned about Herkimer Diamonds on the Travel Channel and just yesterday realized how close we were to the source. As we walked between the car and the shop we watched the people out among the rocks...
From Taughannock Falls we headed southwest, technically out of the Finger Lakes region, to Corning and the Corning Museum of Glass. We'd been warned to get there early but not warned that we needed separate tickets in order to make our own glass creation. Studio time...
We did another short hop. We left Cayuga Lake State Park and drove south along the the shore of the lake to Taughannock Falls State Park. The river and the idea of falls intrigued us. We started out taking the South Rim Trail but soon realized that it wasn't the route...
We started the day with a non-traditional breakfast of cherry pie. Don't tell the kids. It was excellent. Then on to the Elizabeth Cady Stanton house in Seneca Falls. It's part of the Women’s Rights National Park but is a separate location. On this rainy Monday we...
Seneca Falls Women'sRights ConferenceVideo We were in no big hurry to get going this morning. We took our time making bacon, eggs, and hash browns. Did have to pause to give a tour of the T@B. We were out of there by eleven. Headed south into town then east on I-20....
We planned to be out of the campground by nine-thirty but that didn't happen. We had morning visits but neighbors we had chatted with last night and yet another tour of the T@B. Got some tips on places to visit along our possible route. We did get on the road by...
Gave another tour of the camper. We thought we'd do fewer of these once we moved out of the teeny teeny tiny trailer but it seems we're getting more interest that ever before. Once we were on the road we headed to the outskirts of Buffalo and Camping World. It's sort...
Even before breakfast we gave a tour of the T@B to our neighbors. Then we hooked up and headed east. First on the lake shore drive then on US-20. We drove though that little section of Pennsylvania. Stopped in Erie at a big grocery that had awesome meats and produce...
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.

An overnight stop in Sydney, Australia gave us the opportunity to get to know at least little of the history, culture, and landscape of this young nation melding with native traditions on an ancient bit of earth.
As longtime fans of the tales of Middle Earth crafted by J.R.R. Tolkien, we jumped at the opportunity to visit Hobbiton at Matamata NZ, the movie set crafted by Peter Jackson’s team for the filming of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Trilogies.
From Auckland we traveled west today into the Waitakere Ranges to the Aritaki Visitors Center then on the Piha Beach to
