A swing back into Ohio wasn't part of our plan until we experienced heavy rains in New York and realized the stargazer wasn't perfectly watertight. So we made a trip to nüCamp by way of Lisbon OH. Fortunately the seal was easily set right. It also gave us the...
After a three night sojourn in Geneva State Park we hit US-20 eastbound fighting with the Maps app regarding whether we should travel interstate or US highway on our way to Westfield NY. Along we way we made a couple of stops. First at Steve's Auto Wash (no relation)...
Who knew it was National Coffee Day? We didn't until we refueled and shopped for a couple of essential items at a Shell station where we were offered free coffee! Now it's on our calendar as an annual event so we can plan where to get the best coffee each year. So...
It's one of those times we just need to be alone with our thoughts. Geneva State Park is serving us well in that regard. It's mid-week and there are few fellow campers. The sites are spacious and nicely wooded. We've done the laundry, finally sifted through the mail...
East Fork State Park outside of Cincinnati was a great home for us for four nights. Close enough to meet up with some cousins, near a restaurant we love because they serve some great goetta, but quiet and peaceful. It's been quite a while since we stayed at this park...
Out of Sugarcreek we traveled east on OH-39 then south on I-77 to the US-40 exit with plans to travel the approximate route of the National Road. At one point we turned off US-40 when we saw a Historic Route 40 sign. At that point but for GPS we were lost. Later we...
It's been a glorious eight night stay here at Winklepleck. From the time we arrived until last night we, and all the T@B-400 owners were giving tours multiple times a day every day. It was a blast! And we made some wonderful new friends. That said, we are looking...
Today was the great exodus from Winklepleck Grove. üCamp17 officially ended last evening. This morning we enjoyed the gracious hospitality of Amanda who served an amazing breakfast of Scalloped Nova Scotia Potatoes out of her clamshell kitchen. But that wonderful and...
The last official event of this first gathering of teardrops and truck campers sponsored by nüCamp RV was the Potluck Dinner. Wow! Amazing goodies to share paired with delicious grilled burgers and dogs provided by nüCamp. And awards for the Best Owner Mods to Marty...
NüCamp outdid themselves again this evening with a home cooked Amish dinner and John Schmid, an outstanding singer/entertainer. And so many of the folks from nüCamp came out to be a part of the festivities! The sense of community here is absolutely amazing!

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 excursion to Tamborine Mountain National Park immersed us in the history and culture of the Brisbane, Australia area giving us a chance to learn about characteristic and unique plants and animals as well as relaxing and savoring good food and drink. It was a day full of rich experiences.
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.
