After leaving Harper’s Ferry, WV, we traveled south through Shenandoah National Park in Virginia along Skyline Drive, continuing our mission to spend as much time as possible in the turning leaves of fall. Skyline Drive runs 105 miles through the park from Front Royal, VA in the north to Waynesboro, VA in the south, and […]
Check Niagara Falls Off The List
While we were camped in the Allegheny forest in northwestern Pennsylvania, we decided to take a 90 minute day trip north through Buffalo, NY to visit Niagara Falls. We’re not big on having bucket lists or checking items off lists, but this day trip definitely felt like a list checking activity. We weren’t super pumped for […]
How adventure has made me a better father
As Katie and I have both mentioned in the past, one of our primary reasons for traveling is spending more time with our children. While we both worked full-time jobs, we recognized that our kids were growing up quickly and that we were spending a lot more time at work than with them. We determined […]
In Pursuit of Fall: The Best Fall Leaves
When we Denver, Colorado in September, we decided we would route our trip home to North Carolina in a way that maximized our time in peak fall season. We wanted to time our drive to follow perfectly cool fall weather and the changing leaves. We started our quest for fall in the high altitude of […]
Exploring Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky
Though Mammoth Cave National Park is only eight hours from home in Raleigh, NC, I had not visited the park before now. After a long drive in from St. Louis, Missouri, we camped just outside of the park in Cave City. Though the park is mostly known for its cave, which is the largest in […]
Touring the Airstream Factory, Jackson Center, Ohio
As you likely know, we are traveling the country in a 1969 21′ Airstream Globetrotter. The trailer is forty seven years old with an unknown number of miles and misadventures in her past, but she has held together well over the 25,000 miles we’ve travel so far. We love our old Airstream, and it seems […]
The Ledges in Cuyahoga National Park, Hudson, Ohio
While the highlight of our time in Cuyahoga was Bike Aboard!, we had a lot of fun one afternoon exploring The Ledges. Given the rather sedated landscape of the Cuyahoga Valley, full of gently rolling hills and quiet rivers, we were surprised at the visual and experiential awesomeness of The Ledges. The imposing rock ledges […]
Bike Aboard! in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Hudson, Ohio
In our effort to find and follow the fall season, we stayed the first week of October in Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) in northern Ohio, where the leafy trees in the rolling hills of the valley had begun to turn bright red, orange, and yellow. Two of the key features of CVNP are the […]
Voting on the Road
Based on the intensity of the political posts I’ve seen on Facebook and Twitter, I’m glad I’ve been largely disconnected from mass media this year and avoided the incessant political commercials on television and radio. My view of the web and social media streams are still covered with Trump and Clinton banner ads, but I […]
Celebrating Oktoberfest in Minster, Ohio
Over the weekend, we attended our first fall festival, the long-running Oktoberfest in tiny Minster, OH. There is apparently a dense German population in rural northern Ohio with some cities having a German population greater than 70%, and it seems every town has an Oktoberfest. Minster’s drew thousands of folks from the region, and it […]
