The last two years we have been at Winklepleck to greet Amanda as she arrived prior to üCamp. This year the tables were turned and Amanda was waiting for us. She helped us locate the pedestal we will share with three other trailers and position ours with consideration...
As an interlude several of us made the short journey from Sugarcreek to Baltic, Ohio to East Main Kitchen for conversation and comfort food. We can highly recommend the Roast Beef Dinner! From there we moved across the street to Baltic Mill Winery where we lingered in...
Six of us piled into a Highlander for a trip to Lehman's, originally founded in 1955 to stock non-electric equipment and supplies in demand in the middle of Ohio's Amish community. These days the Lehman's store here in Kidron is patronized not only by local Amish and...
It's where Chipotle's sour cream comes from, an Amish family dairy farm certified for its humane animal care. We were invited to watch the milking this afternoon. We were impressed with the care the family took with the process from the milking of the cows and the...
Friends alerted us to the fact that the Amish Country Doughnuts truck would be open for business this morning so Amanda and the two of us headed out for a sweet experience in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Even just ordering these huge doughnuts at the counter is a fun experience....

About four hours ago we successfully found Silver Spring Campground in Stowe OH, situated ourselves on a shady site and settled in. After lunch and a nap we're enjoying salubrious silence. At mid-week the campground is virtually empty so we have the pleasure of...
After great visits with our family in Canton, with our nüCamp family in Sugarcreek, and with Chris, our hostess at the KOA in East Sparta, we headed out on the next leg of our Summer Ramble. After consulting the All Stays App we set the GPS for a Stow OH city park...

The apprehensive with which we approached our the Bitung Jungle Trek quickly evaporated with the incredibly warm welcome offered us by the Bitung people, the gorgeous lush landscape, the beautiful beaches, and the fascinating wildlife. This has been an incredible experience.
Today’s adventure took us into The Australian outback in the Northern Territory, Australia’s last frontier in search of towering termite mounds and incredible waterfalls as well as a most delicious Aussie lunch.
Our much anticipated excursion to the Great Barrier Reef from Queen Mary 2 docked at Yorkey’s Knob near Cairns, Australia turned out to be not quite what we had hoped for but did yield an absolutely amazing helicopter experience as we flew above Moore and Elephant Reefs.
