Why We’re Ending Our Year of Adventure after Nine Months

November 18, 2016 by Mark Kelley 7 Comments

When moving from our home life to our road life, we didn’t waste much time transitioning from one life to the other. In the course of a few weeks, we bought and fixed up a vintage Airstream, overhauled our Tahoe tow vehicle, left our jobs, stored our possessions, rented our house, and disappeared over the […]

Our Adventure by the Numbers

November 17, 2016 by Mark Kelley 2 Comments

If you’ve read our articles from the past, you’ve likely seen that we keep a pretty close eye on financials and other numbers. I’m not a numbers person. I’m actually pretty terrible at math, especially beyond Algebra, though I get a kick out of tracking stats and figures from our travels. Here are some stats […]

Exploring the Eastern Shore of Maryland

November 16, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

After a week in Washington, DC, we headed east across the bay to the eastern shore of Maryland. I’ve long had an interest in the eastern shore of Maryland, particularly in the history of the watermen who live off the bay, catching crab and fish, hunting waterfowl, and collecting oysters. It seemed spending a few […]

Touring the USS North Carolina Battleship, Wilmington, NC

November 15, 2016 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

On a rainy morning at Topsail Beach, we decided to drive forty-five minutes south to tour the USS North Carolina. The battleship served the US before, during and after WWII, and for decades has been docked in Wilmington, NC. The ship is massive by my standards, though probably not by military standards when compared to […]

Monthly Expenses for Full-Time RVing – September 2016

We’ve shared our monthly expenses for March, April, May, June, July, and August. Below are our expenses for September. Let us bring you adventure every […]

At the Intersection of Adventure: Damascus, Virginia

November 10, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

I’m always delighted to pass through a town years after I last visited. Mapping my memories of the old place to the present place becomes an interesting exercise in determining what has actually changed and what remains the same yet I view differently. Damascus, Virginia, a tiny town in southwest Virginia that is a hub […]

Touring the National Mall and Memorials, Washington, DC

November 8, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

We figured a trip around America wasn’t complete without a visit to our nation’s capital, especially given that the National Park Service manages the National Mall. We stayed with some friends in Virginia and rode the train into Washington, DC, where we hopped off the train at the Smithsonian. We could not have asked for […]

Wild Ponies in the Grayson Highlands, Virginia

November 4, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

While camped in Damascus in the far southwestern corner of Virginia, we drove thirty miles to Grayson Highlands State Park. The park is high in the mountains near Mt. Rogers, and several short trails from the park road and parking areas lead to an open, grassy ridge line, providing long-range, 360 degree views of the […]

Being a Lame Dad in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia

November 3, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

Ten years ago on my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, I hiked 38 miles through a day and most of a night to reach Harpers Ferry in time to catch the Friday morning 7am train into Washington, DC. I will never forget the events of this day, and on our Airstream adventure around America, I just had […]
