    One day in Kansas City, MO–Big Trip #2

    We were in Kansas City in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Technically, we were here two nights and one day, if you’re wondering how we managed to cram in so much alcohol consumption. Overall, we found Kansas City to be interesting aesthetically, but we were turned off by all the closed storefronts…

    Four days in St Louis, MO–Big Bend Loop

    We visited St Louis in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. St Louis isn’t somewhere we’d ever talked about visiting. All I really knew about it was that the Arch is there. But while researching this trip’s itinerary, J discovered that St Louis is one of the rare big cities that has…

    Three days in Fayetteville, AR–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Fayetteville in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. I was surprised at how much I liked Fayetteville, not having really known much about it going in. We had mostly considered it a base from which to do some hiking in the Ozarks, but in addition to that, from the…

    One day in Abilene, TX–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Abilene in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. When plotting the route for this trip, we had some definite destinations that needed to be connected by unknown intermediate points.

  • Five days in Charleston, SC

    Five days in Charleston, SC

    We visited Charleston in March 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Charleston is a beautiful and interesting city, full of history, culture, and great food and beer, and we look forward to a return visit… but without our tin can house so we can stay in town! As is the case with campgrounds in…
