After our travels of last summer and this summer we had visited thirty-five states in our T@B but still had gaps in the map in the Northeast. In the past four days we've added four more states: Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. We've overnighted,...
We are crossing the border into the tiniest state in the U.S. We've been in the yo Rhode Island before but never to stay. Once we flew into Providence and rented a car and drove to Cape Cod for Laura and Mason's wedding. On other occasions we have driven through on...
We are definitely in the Northeast. We've eased or way around greater New York City and are crossing the Hudson River at Newburgh. Now to navigate or way through Connecticut and into Rhode Island and find ourselves a campground!
Arrived after dark last night to The Great Divide, what seemed to be an empty campground. Awakened this morning to discover that there was one other camper set up nearby - another T@B! Got talking to the owners, Gid and Terry, and discovered that we had met them at...
This morning's adventure was just spending time poking around northern Delaware. We started with snagging a few geocaches near the campsite in Lums State Park. Then we realized there wad a long line of caches along the edge of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. We...
We are in Delaware! Camped at Lums Pond State Park near Bear, DE. We pulled into this lovely park late this afternoon in time to do a little hiking. Lums Pond is the largest freshwater lake in the state, created in the early 1800's by damming St. Georges Creek to...
After our early morning walk to the beach, we returned to camp for a nap then an oatmeal breakfast before heading out to find a few geocaches on or way north. After about half a dozen finds in Maryland and then in Delaware, we stumbled on a breakfast restaurant that...
See Park Video Who is at the beach at sunrise on Autumnal Equinox? Photographers, surfers, and - if you are on Assateague Island - wild horses! We arrived at Assateague Island National Seashore late yesterday without reservations so we were lucky to secure a site in...
Given our desire to add some more states to the map on the side of our T@B, we've decided we want to drive up the Delmarva Peninsula. After a conversation with a fellow camper near New Bern, we decided to drive the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel north out of Norfolk,...
George Washington slept here! New Bern was founded in 1710 by Swiss and German Palantine immigrants. It was named for the capital of Switzerland and served as the first capitol of North Carolina. We enjoyed poking around the visitors center and various spots in this...
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 a strange feeling to be traveling this weekend from the North Carolina Outer Banks into Tidewater Virginia. Traditionally we have not had to worry about having campground reservations for Memorial Day weekend but knowing that most campgrounds would be full to...
Remembering how much we learned and how much we enjoyed the visit to the Wright Brothers National Memorial at Manteo, North Carolina when were here with our young family in 1986, we decided that despite the Memorial Day weekend traffic on the North Carolina's Outer...
One historic site in the New Bern area that we had not been aware of before our visit is the New Bern Battlefield Park, owned and maintained by the New Bern Historical Society. The park's acreage preserves a significant portion of the land where in March 1862 Union...
