It's always great fun to have a local guide who can take you to their favorite spots but it's also fun when they are willing to try out a new place with you. Today at lunchtime we and Sally did just that. We headed to North Peak Brewery. When we saw the sign for...
One of the delights of hanging out with Sally is finding great places to eat. We chose Harrington's By the Bay on the shore of Grand Traverse Bay where each of us chose some delicious version of Fish & Chips as we relished the view from our waterfront window booth...
Once we were set up at Traverse City State Park across the highway from Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay, Sally drove out to meet us and to get a tour of Sc@rlett. She hasn't seen our specific version of the nüCamp T@B 400. However she did see Penelope, the prototype we...
Heading from Hartland Winery to Traverse City State Park we're beginning our Michigan adventures with a rest area geocache find near Kalamazoo. We're looking forward to a fun visit with Sally before heading to the Upper Peninsula and our westward trek.
As we were making our way back to I-69 to continue our northward trek we learned that the town of Ashley, Indiana is famous for its yellow water tower with a big smiley face and black bow tie. We did a brief detour to get a better look and marked it as "Been There" on...
Tonight we're Harvest Host guests at Hartland Winery in Ashley, Indiana. When we arrived just before five this Saturday evening, the place was already hopping even before Autumn Grey took the stage. We got some Peach Wine Slushies and proceeded to set our T@B in place...
We've stayed here before, in fact it was ten years ago this month, on the first leg of our 35th Anniversary cross country tent camping trip. This time at the Clinton/Knoxville North KOA we're sandwiched in between big RVs in a full hookups pull through site. Usually...
Once we get within a day's drive of our house we find it difficult to stop for just one more overnight. True to form we left Cincinnati this morning telling ourselves we'd stop somewhere and explore one of those interesting places we always breeze past but now we're...
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...
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.

It’s here! It’s finally here! After a breakfast from the 9th Ave Gourmet Deli at the corner and some great coffee from Arvaci next door then making sure we were packed and ready, we summoned an Uber ride and enjoyed chatting with our driver. Now here we are at the...
To minimize the risk of travel delays interfering with embarking on the Queen Mary 2 tomorrow, we scheduled our train ride into Manhattan so we’d have two nights before making our way to the ship. We did experience a two hour Amtrak delay due to severe flood damage in...
Today we are embarking on a journey that we've been planning for the past year. It's not our usual last minute flying by the seat of our pants adventure. Or at least the major parts aren't. Last August we called and talked with Kevin at Q Cruise Travel in Chicago to...
