No, Mark didn’t kick another squirrel. But Jane did think we were campaigning for their rights. Here’s the story. When we decided to visit Ithaca New York, it was obvious that we needed to visit Seneca Falls National Park which was about a 30 minute drive from our campground. It’s an election year and a […]
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 […]
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 […]
Day Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park
On our last stop in the Rockies before descending into the plains on our way east, we visited Rocky Mountain National Park. We camped just outside the park in Estes Park so that we could have a full utility hookup, letting us run our heater all night. In September, fall is in full swing in […]
Biking the KATY Trail, Jefferson City, Missouri
If you’ve not heard of Rails To Trails, it’s the conversion of old railroad passages into multi-use paths for recreation. The KATY trail is one of these Rails to Trails. Stretching over 200 miles across Missouri along the bank of the Missouri River, it is one of the longer trails out there. As we were […]
Sledding at Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
I underestimated the size of the sand dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park. Not only are they taller than I expected, but also they are more expansive. Covering 300 square miles at 8,000 feet in elevation among the Rockies, the dunes are really impressive. There are hikes in and around the dunes and overnight […]
Cheap Thrills in Great Basin National Park – Baker, Nevada
When we left San Francisco after Labor Day Weekend, we planned to spend a few days at Lake Tahoe. When we arrived at Lake Tahoe though, we decided to blow it off and blaze another six hours across The Loneliest Highway in America to Great Basin National Park. We’d already seen Tahoe, and we wanted […]
