    Trip planning: Five days in the WV/VA/TN mountains

    [EDIT: See end of this post to find out where we ended up going!] Our Airstream has been sadly sitting all alone since we brought it home from the repair shop after our last trip in the spring to the mountains of WV and NC. We had to get the leaky hot water heater and…

    Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #13)

    We visited Asheville in April 2023, as part of our Spring in the mountains quickie. We’ve been to Asheville too many other times to link here; see our Asheville Favorites post for a summary. This little springtime trip didn’t quite go as planned: we swapped around our first few days and landed in White Sulphur…

    One night in Seneca Rocks, WV

    We visited Seneca Rocks in April 2023, as part of our Spring in the mountains quickie. From White Sulphur Springs it was a scenic drive north to Seneca Rocks, with no cell service pretty much the entire way thanks to the NRAO.

    Trip planning: Spring quickie to the mountains

    We went on this little trip in April 2023. This post has been edited to include where we actually went! We haven’t had the Airstream out since November (despite only finishing the Big Trip #4 posts just a few weeks ago–it took us a while to write everything up!), and we’re itching to hit the…

    Big Trip #4 Retrospective

    Big Trip #4 was in fact a BIG trip! We covered a lot of ground and had all sorts of memorable experiences, and that’s why it took me almost four months to finish writing all the trip posts. My bad. But I love writing these retrospectives a few months after we get home because it…

    One night in Nashville, TN (visit #6)–Big Trip #4

    We were in Nashville in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our favorites from our five previous trips here. We’ve now taken the Airstream to Nashville six times… but we may not return. Why? We love Nashville, but part of the reason is because we loved our campground at the Nashville Fairgrounds,…
