adventures with a dog and an airstream
We were in Charlotte from February 28 to February 29, 2021. Read about our previous visits in 2020, late 2017, and early 2017. Charlotte is an easy first or last stop, just over three hours south of home. After boondocking...
We were in New Orleans from February 19 to February 22, 2021. Read about our previous visit in 2020 here. We almost didn’t go to New Orleans. After our Texas ordeal, we kind of wanted to shoot straight across to...
We were in San Antonio from January 29 to January 31, 2021. In all our gallivanting around Texas, we’d never taken the Airstream to San Antonio. We’ve seen Austin and San Antonio as an either/or, can’t stop at both, and...

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...
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...
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...
