The Harper's Ferry KOA is located on Bolivar Heights, the place at Harper's Ferry that saw more action than any other during the Civil War is immediately adjacent to the Murphy Farm area of the national park property. It bears interpretive markers that may date back...
See Park Videos What a beautiful experience! We broke camp at Loft Mountain and headed north on the Skyline Drive through rain and fog. Traffic was light and we took our time occasionally pulling over to allow a faster driver to pass while we admired the vista. This...
Such a delight to awaken warm and cozy to the sound of raindrops on the roof and to linger a while staring at the raindrops sliding down the curve of the stargazer window. We're hoping our tenting neighbors have fared well in this all night rain as we remember a...
Once we had the T@B-400 comfortably ensconced on Site 58 at Loft Mountain we headed to MP 81 and the Doyles River Falls Trail. It's a fun walk through the woods, no panoramic views on this trail, just a continual downward slope. Partway down we were advised that there...
The road trip calls and we must go. It's been a pleasant sojourn at the house but adventure is out there and we're anxious to find it! After an interruption of two and a half weeks, we're back! Heading east on I-40 looking for possibilities!
What started out as a hike to Lewis Falls turned into a celebration of our Appalachian Trail experiences. Fifty years ago this summer Karen backpacked a week long AT trip in The Smokies with her Dad and a brother and sister. Just as we and Steve's friend Stan...
Ever since our visit to the Blue Ridge Parkway two years ago we've been anxious to return and test our dry camping capability with our newest upgraded equipment. That time we were running an efficient Norcold chest style refrigerator off a Group 24 deep cycle marine...
Shenandoah National Park, Virginia's Skyline Drive, Mile Marker 51, Big Meadow Campground, Site C-131. Walk In only, non-reservable, no hookups, generator permitted, nicely situated for solar but with shaded area for chairs. Back in site with woods behind for a degree...
The National Park Service at Antietam Battlefield just outside the little town of Sharpsburg MD does an excellent job of interpreting the huge historical significance of the bloody battle that took place here in September 1862. In one day more American lives were lost...
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...

Now that we're down to more southern latitudes, we're enjoying warmer weather. We're contemplating putting away the cold weather gear for a while and de-winterizing the camper. Our plan at this point is to begin moving westward but not too quickly. For now we're doing...
Let's just say that Macon, Georgia is worth a visit. For us for so many years, it was a location to pass by on I-75 when going from here to there. Then just recently we realized that the Ocmulgee Mounds site was immediately adjacent to the site. We booked a campsite...
Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park has been a place of human habitation for 12,000-17,000 years. The first peoples here alongside the Ocmulgee (oak-muhl -ghee) River near what is now Macon, Georgia, were Paleo-Indians - big game hunters just after the last ice...
