    Trip planning: looping out to Big Bend

    This planning post was for a trip to Big Bend in January 2018. We visited Big Bend on our three-month trip two years ago and, because we were based in Ft Davis, an hour and a half from the entrance to the park, we spent just ONE DAY in the park. One measly day! We knew…

    We were in Greenville in November 2017 as part of a short Southeast loop. Read about our second visit in 2024 here.

  • Greenville SC – Atlanta – Savannah – Charlotte – Burlington NC–Short Southeast Loop

    Greenville SC – Atlanta – Savannah – Charlotte – Burlington NC–Short Southeast Loop

The implosion was on the Monday of Thanksgiving week, which…

    Fish Tacos: a photo essay

    Hello! I haven’t written anything lately because after about nine months living full-time in the Airstream (which deserves its own post) we’ve moved into a regular non-wheeled house. Boring, right? We’re starting to get antsy to take the Airstream out again so hopefully I’ll have an interesting trip to report on soon. A recent email…
