It's starting to rain! We've been on the road for nearly eight weeks and neither of us can remember the last rain we saw. Everywhere the talk is of the drought and wildfires. We stopped at a pull off to gaze out over Strawberry Reservoir and not only could we see rain...
We've both visited the Great Salt Lake. Steve remembers swimming here when his family toured The West in their brand new '56 Chevy sedan and Karen trekked through the snow to gaze at this salty lake when her family came here to visit family at Christmas '65 in their...
We don't need to be anywhere until noon, so we took this morning to review the mail that we picked up yesterday and do some housekeeping in the cab of the truck and the trailer. This Salt Lake City KOA site is the sunniest in the whole park in the afternoon so we...
We and our mail have finally ended up in the same place at the same time. In fact it arrived at The UPS Store here just six minutes before we walked through the door! Our mail is being forwarded to a UPS store in Franklin NC. Periodically we contact them and ask them...
Last night we relaxed in the amazing waters of Miracle Hot Springs. This morning we left in search of breakfast but found two geocaches on our way to Jackson Kountry Korner for Steak and Eggs. (We like celebrating our anniversary all summer long.). Poked around there...
It's a conversation piece! We put an outline map of the US on the port side of the T@B a couple of days ago and had a grand time of adding the 25 stickers that represent the states that we have visited in the 11 ½ months that we've been traveling in this tiny trailer....
We've just left Oregon and are in Idaho! Pulled into the Welcome Center and spied a little teardrop trailer very similar to the Silver Shadow we traveled in for four years! We introduced ourselves to Kim and Marla for a while before heading in the direction of our...
If not for the wildfire haze. There are several sagebrush fires in the vicinity so the views of this beautiful scenery from US20E are all hazy. Headed from Crystal Crane Hot Springs in Oregon to Miracle Hot Springs in Idaho on the recommendation of our campground...
Spent the day traveling east on US Highway 20. This sounds suspiciously like a blog entry from last summer when we traveled 20 through the wine country of New York's Finger Lakes. But today we traveled through the Willamette Valley, the Cascade Mountains, and...
For the last few days we have been having great fun geocaching. it has taken us off the beaten path and made us appreciate more of our surroundings. We're traveling slowly, stopping in small towns, and noticing things we might otherwise have missed. One cache entitled...
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.

Today's travels have taken us a bit north of US-20 to Abbott Farms in Baldwinsville, New York. It's another great Harvest Hosts site. In accordance with Harvest Hosts Etiquette, we made a point to arrive early enough to be able to shop in the farm store. Since it's...
Today's route is US-20 eastbound across New York State. It's one of our favorite highways. Our first trip along this stretch was in September 1976 driving a 1971 Pontiac LeMans from Niagara Falls, Ontario to Glens Falls, New York. If memory serves us correctly we...
Last night when we were chatting with Laura, we mentioned how much we enjoy Johnson Estate Wines in Westfield, New York and she agreed, especially their Red and White Ipocras, spiced wines. It’s the oldest farm winery in New York State. We’ve visited a few times since...
