This evening we are staying at Bayview Campground near Hillsboro OH near the shore of Rocky Fork Lake. The major event of the evening has been doing the laundry. It's been several days since we've had laundry facilities available so that was a priority when choosing...
On rambles through central Ohio today we drove through Lancaster and saw the William Tecumseh Sherman Museum, the birthplace of not only the Union Army General but his brother John Sherman, a US Senator. Â We wanted to stop and visit but were unable to find any parking...
Heading east on OH-16 we passed Frazeysberg and the Longaberger Homestead and thought briefly of stopping but deferred. Then continuing east this basket rose up on the horizon, a rather unique office building! Then we read this Roadside America essay. Do we...
It's time to move on. We've stayed here at the Berlin RV Park between Millersburg and Berlin, not far from Sugarcreek OH for the last two nights. It's a smaller, rather new park with friendly staff, wonderfully spacious showers and reasonably priced. Wish it had a...
Yesterday when we visited Dave we also picked up our most recent order from Amazon. Last night we installed the new Quiet Hitch ring, the tiny LED lights strand above the valance, and the the Acurite refrigerator and freezer thermometers. Then today while Gigi was at...
We dropped Gigi off this morning for a Spa Day at Pleasant Valley. Under the care of Ed, Marvin, and Austin, she's getting new drawer latches, a battery backup for her ALDE, a screens/shades reversal, a a few other tweaks. So we will spend the day in Amish country...
On our walk back from the comfort station we heard noises beyond the campsites near us. Choosing to investigate, we walked down a pathway through the woods to discover the Saturday night outdoor movie was Airplanes: Fire and Rescue. We settled ourselves on benches and...
After our D-Day  adventures we sought out a winery. This is Ohio's wine country and options abound but most involve restaurants and are crazy busy on Saturday nights. We returned to Harpersfield Winery, near Geneva Ohio. We were here in August 2013 at the beginning of...
This was definitely not on our radar for something to do during our weekend on Lake Erie. We just happened to drive by yesterday afternoon on our way to Geneva SP. We made a rather spontaneous decision this morning to drive back to Conneaut and see what this...
Ah! Yes! We're off the Thruway and onto US-20. Even better we're back at Johnson Estate Winery near Westfield, New York. We were here in '13 and were quite impressed with their wines, especially their Red Ipocras. Today we stopped and stocked up on some old favorites...
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.

The majestic home of the first Governor of the Territory of Indiana was the magnet that pulled the two of us to Vincennes, Indiana. Grouseland was constructed in 1802-1804 after William Henry Harrison was appointed governor in 1800. Knowing that the home is undergoing...
After visiting New Harmony, the second oldest town in the state, we headed to Vincennes the oldest city in Indiana, established by French fur traders in 1732. It was only natural for us to begin our visit at the Indiana State Museum where we joined a tour in progress....
If you've been following our blog recently, you may have noticed that we keep visiting locations that were home to Native Americans in prehistory, meaning before Europeans arrived on the North American continent and started recording their observations of the people...
