We’re home: quick summary of our Winter Loop to Austin trip
Hello from Virginia! We returned home Friday from our 3-week loop through the Southeast to Austin. If you follow Bugsy on Instagram, you already know our general itinerary: It was a great trip and I have lots to say about it, but since I tend to be slow to get the recaps out, here are a…

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…
