So much has happened since our last post. We'd love to go into greater detail about every adventure but it's time we got you caught up to where we are now. Hopefully we'll do a better of job of timely posts going forward. It was way back on Tuesday July 11th that we...
Our travels yesterday were a rather lengthy 234 miles ending at the Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and a yummy dinner of Chicken Cordon Bleu at Muller's Diner, an eatery recommended by a local as we checked in. But even before...
After an overnight in Canton and an opportunity to finish transferring our gear from truck to trailer, we're on the road. This truly is the beginning of Summer Ramble 2021. Our first stop is Courtyard Winery in the town of North East, Pennsylvania. It's one of more...
Our destination today was the historic marker on the banks of French Creek where John Chapman/Johnny Appleseed lived and worked more than two hundred years ago. We parked, walked to the marker, took pictures, and discovered that this was the site of the 1787 Fort...
Besides being a trip back to the turn of the last century this was a trip deep underground. Actually we did not travel down but rather straight into the side of a mountain at The Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine in Ashland PA. Guided by the Mine Foreman, Brad, we learned a...
This is a return to a memorable place. The last time we stayed here at the COE Outflow Campground on Mae West Road at Confluence PA we toured the area, visiting the National Road, Fort Necessity, and Ohiopyle, as well as treating ourselves to soft freeze ice cream....
The more we learn about family history as well as American History, the more we are fascinated by places like this. The Air Heritage Museum in Beaver Falls PA is an all volunteer organization devoted to the preservation and restoration of historically significant...
Our home tonight is the Mercer/Grove City KOA in western Pennsylvania chosen for its proximity to tomorrow's adventure, the promise of decent laundry facilities, and the ease of making a reservation through the KOA app. Yes, we love public campgrounds, they are often...
See Park Video Yesterday and this morning we explored a very small segment of this amazing national recreation area. At the Dingman's Visitors Center we learned that the history of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is closely tied to the beginnings of...
It's Labor Day, the last day of the last weekend of summer. Tomorrow the kids will all be back to school and parents back to work. All along the highway today we spied RVs apparently heading home. Here at Dingman's Campground Site 64 there's no one around. The site...
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 was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.
Once the largest cruise ship in the world, Allure of the Seas will be our home for the next seven nights as we cruise the Western Mediterranean and explore the eighteen decks of this behemoth.
Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
