36 hours in Asheville, NC (visit #2)–Winter Loop to Austin
We visited Asheville at the very end of 2016, as part of our Winter Loop to Austin. Read about our first visit in early 2016 here, and bazillion visits later you can just skip ahead to our favorites here. We love Asheville! Despite being sick, we still managed to visit a few new breweries (and one old…

Happy Bugsy Day!
Two years ago today we brought home from the pound a scrawny, sickly, scared little beastie. Already an adult, she weighed two-thirds of what she does now, her coat was covered with dandruff and scars, and she was terrified of loud noises, people (except us, for some reason), dogs, bikes, skateboards, trains… basically things that moved or…

A Year with an Airstream
(Look how shiny it was when we first picked it up! It’s not that shiny today.) One year ago we had just picked up our brand new Airstream from the dealership and spent a couple days at a nearby state park outfitting the trailer and practicing camping. Since then, we’ve done several regional short trips…

Winter trip brainstorming, Part I
This brainstorm was for a trip in early 2017. See Part II and Part III of the brainstorm, and read about what we actually ended up doing! Because when it’s cold outside, we spend most of our time in our tiny metal tube, so we thought it would be nice to take said tube to warmer…

Four days in Canaan Valley, WV
We visited Canaan Valley in November 2016, while full-timing in the Airstream. In the early Aughts, J and I (and Bugsy’s two dear departed predecessors) spent a lot of time in the Potomac Highlands of eastern West Virginia, hiking and biking in spectacular spots like Dolly Sods Wilderness, Seneca Rocks, and Spruce Knob – Seneca Creek Backcountry. We…

Our next Airstream adventure is a doozy.
We full-timed in the Airstream in Crozet for six months in late 2016-early 2017. The Airstream is settled back home in Virginia for the foreseeable future, except for brief jaunts here and there: three days in Southwestern VA, a four-day music festival, and next week, a few days of hiking in WV. But a couple weeks ago we started a different kind…

Airstreaming at Lockn’ Music Festival
We took the Airstream to Lockn’ in August 2016. Does this belong on AirstreamDog? Because our Airstream Dog didn’t accompany us–the first trip we’ve done in the Airstream without Bugsy. We spent four nights camping in an enormous field of RVs, down the road from an even bigger tent city, surrounded by oppressive heat, orange…
