Trip planning: the Carolinas in November
Hello! We have a quiet summer Airstream-wise and are itching to get out on the road! To scratch that itch, we’re starting to plan our next Airstream adventure in November. We have two weeks between plans in Southern Pines, NC and Burlington, NC, so that seems like a perfect opportunity to go Airstreaming. Where should…

Two nights in Oceanside, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited Oceanside in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. When we first started planning Big Trip #4, it looked quite different from what it became: our original plan sent us east after Crater Lake and south through the Rockies. That would have been an incredible itinerary, but what we ended up…

One night in Huntington Beach, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited Huntington Beach in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Huntington Beach was a last-minute addition to our itinerary, added when we learned our friend Sara from VA was going to be in the next town on business. We lucked into a sweet campsite and had a great time in town,…

Two nights in Ventura, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited Ventura in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Ventura was really only on our radar because friends had lived there until a few years ago, and they adored it, and they are cool people, so we should like it, right? Right! We loved it. Ventura’s a surprisingly quiet surf town…

One night in Big Sur, CA–Big Trip #4
We were in Big Sur in mid-October, 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. The Marina–Santa Cruz-Big Sur-San Luis Obispo portion of the trip is a little hectic because we had to shuffle some planned stops due to a work obligation that came up for J. The chaos worked out great for us, though, because…

Two nights in Santa Cruz, CA–Big Trip #4
We were in Santa Cruz in mid-October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We made it to the California coast! Our original itinerary had us staying in Monterey at Monterey County Fair RV Park, but they scheduled an event overtop of our stay and canceled everyone’s reservations. Nice. So we reevaluated and decided that…

One night in Marina, CA–Big Trip #4
We were in Marina in mid-October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Marina was a last-second one-night stop on the way from the interior national parks in Northern California (Kings Canyon and Sequoia) to our originally-planned first stop on the coast, Santa Cruz. We thought we’d be able to visit Monterey from Santa Cruz,…

Three nights in Lake Tahoe, CA & NV–Big Trip #4
We visited Lake Tahoe in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. J and I had been to Lake Tahoe before: we went skiing at Homewood a million years ago, and while we don’t remember where we stayed or ate, or even all the people we traveled with, that bright blue lake framing…

Two nights in Sandpoint, ID (visit #2)–Big Trip #4
We visited Sandpoint in mid-September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our first visit in 2020 here. I was just rereading our previous Sandpoint post and was reminded that we’d only ended up in Sandpoint because we couldn’t go to Banff. This time, Sandpoint was on the itinerary all along, and it…

Indiana Dunes National Park
We visited IDNP in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 Indiana Dunes National Park, like Cuyahoga Valley National Park, is an urban park. It’s one of the newest national parks in the US, protecting an important shoreline ecosystem on Lake Michigan, and providing accessible nature experiences to people who live in near cities.…
