Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop
We visited Carrboro in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We specifically went to the Carrboro area to see a band we love, Destroyer, whom we followed from Asheville. A lovely bonus to this stop is that my mom, sister, and nephew live nearby and could pop over for a visit!…

Three days in Asheville, NC (visit #5)–Big Bend Loop
We visited Asheville in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We’ve posted a bunch of times about Asheville; check out all the posts here. Yes, Asheville again. I’ll keep this short since we keep going to Asheville and visiting a lot of the same places, and I promise to write an…

Two days in Lexington, KY–Big Bend Loop
We visited Lexington in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. I am a horseperson. Not a literal horse-person hybrid (although my mom might disagree with that when remembering the behavior of my 12-year-old self), but someone who since age ten has loved horses almost as much as dogs (come on, nothing…

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…

Two days in Branson, MO–Big Bend Loop
We visited Branson in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. Branson wasn’t on our initial itinerary for this trip, and then the NYT’s list of 52 Places to Go in 2018 was released–and Branson’s on the list! It’s on the way from Medicine Park to St Louis, and the route from Branson…

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…

Two days in Medicine Park, OK–Big Bend Loop
We visited Medicine Park in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We learned about Medicine Park from one of the million “best small town” lists we’ve read over the last couple years for Airstream trip planning purposes. The tiny, historic resort town is making a comeback from being down on its…

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. Abilene was one such point, chosen because it has a few breweries and a campground not too far from town.…

One day in Terlingua, TX–Big Bend Loop
We visited Terlingua in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. How do I describe Terlingua… It’s a tiny ghost town in the desert with nightly live music and delicious margaritas. It’s famous for its annual chili cookoff–which is actually two competing cookoffs, and one giant party–every November. It’s a surprising little…

Three days in Big Bend National Park (visit #2)–Big Bend Loop
We visited Big Bend in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. Read about our day trip to Big Bend in 2016 here, and our subsequent third visit here and fourth visit here. We made it! Big Bend National Park was the itinerary-shaping destination for this Airstream journey, and it was absolutely…
