One day in Pigeon Forge, TN–Big Trip #3
We were in Pigeon Forge in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Pigeon Forge (and Gatlinburg next door), to us, is only worth visiting as a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We did not like the town at all, but if you have read this blog at all you should not be…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #3
We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped around Colorado and then hopped back across the country toward home. (Here are catch-up #1…

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,…

One night in Charlotte, NC (visit #3)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Charlotte as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our first two Airstream trips to Charlotte in 2017 here and here, and our fourth in 2021 here.

One night in Montgomery, AL–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Montgomery as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. For a dose of culture, a tasty meal, and a relaxing drink after a long day of driving, we chose Montgomery as our stopover between New Orleans and Atlanta. Montgomery is packed with important historical sites and some solid bar and…

Three days in Eastpoint, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Eastpoint in early January 2020 as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip. Read about our second visit in February 2021 here. From St Augustine, it was an uneventful 4.5-hour drive across the top of Florida to Eastpoint, on the so-called Forgotten Coast of Florida’s panhandle. This area feels completely different to other parts…

Four days in St Augustine, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in St Augustine as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. Pretty little St Augustine is VERY touristy, especially around the holidays. Here’s the first impression I jotted down on our initial trip into downtown: “Holy hell people everywhere.” The holiday crowds were…

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…
