Two days in Kalispell/Whitefish, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited Kalispell and Whitefish in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Glacier National Park was incredible, but we were ready for fewer people and more hiking with Bugsy, so we relocated a bit to the west to hit a different section of Flathead National Forest. Two neighboring towns appealed to us as potential…

Four days in West Glacier, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited West Glacier in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Theodore Roosevelt National Park put us into hyper-hiking mode, and we were so excited to get to Glacier National Park! Our sincere hope was that we’d arrive late enough in the season that we would miss the crowds but still get great weather…

Trip planning: the Smokies in the Spring
Expecting to travel this Spring with the current COVID-19 situation may be wishful thinking, but what better way to distract myself from the news than by dreaming about adventures? Before all this pandemic crap we were going to go to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in April. Hopefully even though we can’t go this Spring,…

Three days in Asheville, NC (visit #7)–Misty Mountain Week trip
We were in Asheville in September 2019; we also visited Fayetteville and the Misty Mountain Music Festival on this week away. The Airstream had been parked all summer after we got home from our Maine trip, alone and lonely (except for the collection of black widows hanging out around the chocks and levelers), until we…

Four days in Flagstaff, AZ (visit #2)
We visited Flagstaff in late November 2018, as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our first visit in 2016 here during Big Trip #1, and our third in 2023 here during our Tucson for Christmas trip. Flagstaff was one of our favorite cities on Big Trip #1, and we were excited to return for…

One night in Monticello, Utah–Big Trip #2
We visited Monticello in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. This wasn’t a well-planned stop. Our intention was to spend two nights in Monticello and have easy access to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park… but it’s still an hour drive to the Needles Visitor Center from Monticello, and a whopping two hours to…

Five days in Park City, Utah (visit #1)–Big Trip #2
We were in Park City in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our second visit in 2020 here during Big Trip #3. Southern Utah was our favorite part of the first Big Trip, and we were excited to explore Northern Utah a bit this trip. We chose Park City as our…

Five days in Asheville, NC (visit #6)
We visited Asheville in September 2018. We also visited Sylva as part of this short trip. …and we’re back in Asheville. As I mentioned in my Sylva post, we needed a quick trip to knock the dust off our Airstreaming skills before our next Big Trip in a couple weeks. You may know that we…

Two days in Sylva, NC
We visited Sylva in September 2018. We also visited Asheville as part of this short trip. This little foray into Western NC had two stops: Sylva, to more easily access hikes west of Asheville that would normally be out of driving range, and Asheville, for our usual eating/drinking/hiking/city adventure and fun. (We had to cancel…

Trip planning: Asheville, Nashville, Pisgah/Nantahala…
In my opinion, trip planning is almost as exciting as trip taking! We’re starting to think about our biannual Asheville Airstreaming pilgrimage, and wondering what other explorations we can cram in while we’re out and about. Right now, we’re leaning toward a few days in Nashville in our favorite parking lot campsite, a couple days…
