See Park Video We went on a field trip with our friends Mary and Steve. Over a glass of wine recently we started hatching plans for a fun day and since none of us had ever visited the Carl Sandburg Home near Hendersonville we chose that as our starting point. Entering...
We enjoyed Greg's company this morning before it was time for him to head to the office. Rachel's new schedule has her at home working on other projects on Mondays so we had time for some interesting discussions with her as we organized ourselves for departure. Part...
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...
We started the day by meeting JE and friends at Maxi's in Waterbury for a delicious breakfast. Have you ever heard of stuffed pancakes? And a tour of the T@B while it was parked at curbside. Then in the company of Jean Elizabeth we drove just a few blocks to Ben &...
We broke camp this morning and headed toward Glens Falls and beyond into Vermont. We found a campsite at Duxbury Country Store and Campground, a tiny little place but we still had folks who wanted to see our little camper. We ended up running late for our trip into...
Today's our Fortieth Anniversary! And we are enjoying a fabulous celebration. We woke up in Adirondack Park in a room with a view of beautiful Lake Piseco. First order of business was to travel into Speculator for our annual Steak & Eggs breakfast at the Sunrise...
We left Sacandaga this morning with some angst about finding a campsite this holiday weekend with out reservations. Last night the rangers who had checked us in told us to come back to the rangers station in the morning and they would help us get a reservation at one...
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.

Believe it or not, we’re on the road, prompted by an appointment in Sugarcreek that we made back in January for a couple of mods. We also see it as a test of a couple of things. Can we travel with our T@B 400 and social distance? And can we incorporate features of our...
It’s a rare treat for us to be celebrating Midsummer here on our mountainside enjoying cool misty mornings, sunny afternoons, pleasant evenings, oh yeah, and a fair number of rain showers. But then again that helps explain these lush green woods. The rhododendron are...
Fourteen years ago today after three years of planning, forty-four friends embarked on a two week adventure to the Land of the Midnight Sun, just in time for the Summer Solstice. From Fairbanks and Denali to Ketchican and the Inside Passage we had one fabulous...
