  • Two nights in White Salmon, WA–Big Trip #4

    Two nights in White Salmon, WA–Big Trip #4

    We visited White Salmon in late September 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. We chose White Salmon for a one-night stop between Mount Rainier National Park and Bend, OR because it’s across the river from Hood River, OR, a hip and happening town. Just a few days before arriving we discovered that old friends…

  • Two nights in Ellensburg, WA–Big Trip #4

    Two nights in Ellensburg, WA–Big Trip #4

    We visited Ellensburg in mid-September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Looking to break up the seven-hour drive between Sandpoint and Mount Rainier, we stopped for a couple nights in Ellensburg, Washington. It’s a cute college town, home to Central Washington University, and a historic downtown full of interesting architecture. The highlight of the…

    We were in Fargo in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our first trip to Fargo in 2020 here. The drive to Fargo from Grand Rapids was a pretty one, through forests and past lakes on smaller roads. We arrived in Fargo at one of our favorite campgrounds with a simple…

    One night in Grand Rapids, MN–Big Trip #4

    We were in Grand Rapids in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Don’t confuse Grand Rapids, MN with Grand Rapids, MI, which we visited in 2016 while on Big Trip #1! Where to break up the drive from Duluth to Fargo? We chose Grand Rapids, based on the presence of breweries (for J)…

  • Two nights in Duluth, MN–Big Trip #4

    Two nights in Duluth, MN–Big Trip #4

    We were in Duluth in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 We read about Duluth somewhere on a “best of” list–who knows where or when, but we throw things we read onto a master map, and when planning trips we consult the master map. So Duluth became part of Big Trip #4, connecting…

    Two nights in Madison, WI–Big Trip #4

    We were in Madison in August 2022 as part of Big Trip #4 When planning Big Trip #4, we only gave ourselves one night in Madison, and pretty quickly regretted that decision. And then–good news!–we wanted to leave Michigan City a day early, so we ended up with two nights in Madison. It’s a fun…

    Two nights in Streetsboro, OH–Big Trip #4

    We were in Streetsboro in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. After our stopover in Fayetteville, we spent a couple days in Streetsboro to explore Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Our campground is on the very eastern edge of Streetsboro, and downtown Streetsboro doesn’t seem like anything special, no offense. The town of Hudson,…

  • Portland, ME addendum: two nights in Portland sans Bugsy and Airstream

    Portland, ME addendum: two nights in Portland sans Bugsy and Airstream

    We visited Portland in July 2022. Read about our first visit with Bugsy and the Airstream in 2019 here! I feel like I’m cheating by writing an AirstreamDog post about a trip we took without either the Airstream or the Dog, but we wanted to update our previous Portland post because we were able to…

    Nashville Favorites

    This post is based on our six visits to Nashville from 2017 to 2022. As of this writing (mid-2022), we’ve taken the Airstream to Nashville six times: It’s a lot easier to read about our Nashville favorites in one place, rather than dig through multiple posts, so here we’ll pull together the highlights of all…
