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...
Our Maine adventures have come to a halt. An early morning email alerted us of a need to head to Ohio to be with family for a while. The alpaca farm in Maine, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the maple farm in Vermont, the rendezvous with friends, the blazingly...
Any trip to Maine needs to include an incredible seaside meal of lobster. A friend in Florida gave us directions to Cook’s Lobster House on a spit of land on the north end of Bailey Island south of Brunswick overlooking Casco Bay. We headed there today for a midday...
It’s not unusual for people to ask us how we get our mail on the road. For someone doing a long trip once in a lifetime or once every few years, it may be okay to get a trusted friend or family member to help but if travel is a lifestyle, there are better options....
Ever since the movie Gettysburg based on the novel Killer Angels, America has rediscovered Joshua Chamberlain. This college professor turned soldier is featured in the story of the Union victory in Pennsylvania in 1863. Count us among those who are fascinated with the...
With various visits with our neighbors yesterday morning it was afternoon by the time we headed north to the Freeport/Durham KOA where we settled in and dealt with the chore of laundry. Today we wandered into Freeport best known as the home of LL Bean. We found...
On our way back to Black Bear Campground we decided to indulge ourselves in a classic New England meal. In Ipswich we stopped at The Clam Box, a local institution, and ordered a Native Clams meal. While we waited to pick up our food at the counter a dining room table...
Just south of Newbury is a small Massachusetts town that has captured the imagination of America. Salem. The home of the Witch Trials of 1692. For decades the community has capitalized on this history and developed some crazy tourist attractions. We couldn’t figure...

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.

Within the RV community, the tiny town of Quartzite, Arizona holds a mystique all its own. Surrounded by vast tracts of public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management Quartzite finds itself playing host to hoards of RV travelers every winter. Many are...
Like so many of us of a certain age, we grew up with strains of the Wild West playing in the background. The streets of Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and other legends played on the television screens in our living rooms. Thus...
