Field of Lost ShoesVideo It was a night of hard rain and we stayed wonderfully dry inside our little turtle shell. Sunday morning. We drove into Harrisonburg then headed north on Lee Highway. Stopped at Southern Kitchen for their signature fried chicken. Oh wow! We...
First the bad news: Although we could hear the refrigerator run all night, apparently it was only the fan and not the compressor. The food and milk were nearly as warm as the outside temperature. Bummer. Based on our location it looks like it will be easier to return...
On another ramble with a new tiny trailer a few years back we set the gps for Hot Springs VA but allowed ourselves to be sidetracked along the way by wonderful and delightful things. But this time we wanted to actually get there. We programmed the Maps App for...
Last year as we began planning for a new camper and a great long rambling trip this summer we also planned for activities in the campsite. Santa gave Karen a folding spinning wheel and Steve brushed up on his whittling...
We left home Thursday with just a vague idea of where we would land. We found a quiet place in the Chattahoochee National Forest. The Rabun Beach campground. Yesterday we hiked to Panther Falls. It's glorious just hanging out enjoying the camper. In northern Georgia...
See Park Video We've spent a couple of days here at the adjacent parks at Kings Mountain in South Carolina just south of the border, close to the RV dealer. The plan was to use this as a shakedown visit. We're identifying some small issues with the trailer and it will...
We started the day in Melbourne in shorts weather. We broke camp, hooked up the Silver Shadow, climbed into the Trailblazer and turned on the air conditioning. We continued our journey up US-1 and A1A stopping for one more look and the sand and the surf in Flagler...
We woke up to another glorious Florida winter day. Temperature perfect. Skies blue. We chose to just hang out in the campground all morning. Brought the arm chairs out into the shade of the trees and read our books. Then at midday we climbed into the car rolled down...
We headed south on US-1 hoping to connect with a friend of Steve’s from high school days. Didn’t make the connection but did discover Jonathan Dickinson State Park near Hobe Sound. We climbed the observation tower atop Hobe Mountain which at 86 feet elevation is the...
After a delightful chat with our neighbors across the way, we broke camp and headed out of Everglades National Park and south on US-1. We’re in new territory. We lived in Florida for fifty years and never visited the Everglades NP or the upper Keys. It’s a pleasant...
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.

As a bit of an afterglow those of us still in Half Moon Bay, California this morning gathered at La Nebbia Winery this morning to enjoy the company of the bride and groom and one another. There was coffee and tea, breakfast burritos, coffee cake bites, yogurt...
Last summer Megan and Arden made a decision to get married on short notice so Meg could return with him to Stuttgart, Germany as a military spouse but solemnly promised her mother who would be traveling with her sisters in Ireland on the wedding day that they would...
Finally at last we get to meet Megan's beloved. Seventeen years into their friendship/relationship, one year into their marriage, and finally we, Meg's extended family get to meet this young man. It's possible we met him at Meg's NMMI graduation, but no one knows for...
