Now we know that the Pickerel Point Campground in Promised Land State Park is gorgeous. It's crowded with families this late summer weekend but looks like a great place to park our T@B on subsequent trips. The mix of walk-in tent sites and RV sites would make it a...
We're in the Poconos, a region we've never before explored. We thought we'd go for a drive to get a feel for the area and also do a WalMart stop. We chose the Greentown Road, hardly discernible on the Maps app, as our route from the northern part of the state park to...
We're staying at the Lower Lake Campground in Promised Land State Park, one of Pennsylvania's earliest state parks. Apparently Shakers bought this land from the British Crown here in the land established by William Penn for religious freedom. It seems the Shakers...
We're headed to the Poconos today. Even by the shortest route the driving time is around four hours, a long day in our present state of mind. We're stopping fairly frequently. This time it's to seek a geocache at a interstate rest area. Beyond the picnic area there's...
The Quemahoning Dam was built beginning in 1911 to create a reservoir of water to supply the Cambria Iron Works in Johnstown in the years following the great flood. In recent years the area has been purchased by two local counties and besides supplying water to local...
After securing a site (RV-6) at the Quemahoning Family Campground we ventured into downtown Johnstown, parked next to the Amtrak station and walked across the river to the Johnstown Flood Museum. As we walked in we were struck by the fact that it was housed in library...
Left the Outflow Campground this morning and made our way to Quemahoning Family Campground staying successfully (so far) ahead of the storm system heading our way. We are entranced with the rolling green landscapes of Pennsylvania in summer! Now we're enroute to The...
In search of a Geocache we walked from the campground along the bicycle path and across what was once a railroad bridge to the edge of the town of Confluence, Pennsylvania an area surveyed in 1754 by George Washington!
To and from the town of Ohiopyle PA we traveled Sugarloaf Road and on the recomendation of fellow campers Joe and Arlene we stopped and parked at Baughman Rock Vista Overlook. Wow! Besides this incredible view, we got a bonus of a very well done geocache hidden in a...
After a morning at the laundromat in Confluence and lunch at the T@B, we wandered into the little town of Ohiopyle PA, on the Youghiogheny River right in the middle of the Ohiopyle State Park. There are so many recreational opportunities here, hiking, bicycling,...
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.

Eight hundred years ago a farming community of Woodlands peoples existed here at what is now called SunWatch in Dayton, Ohio. Sixty years ago this was a family farm, the owners of which knew nothing of the archeological trove beneath their fields. Then archeologists...
It’s been an incredible ten days. We arrived at Timbercrest, the official üCamp21 satellite location on Thursday prior to the official start of the annual gathering of nüCamp teardrop campers on Monday morning. From then through Saturday night and some fireworks, we...
Our granddaughters have been studying dance each since they were about two years old. Now at ages 17 and 11 they are quite accomplished and it's an incredible treat each time we get the opportunity to watch them perform. Today they and their fellow dancers are...
