    Three days in Sandpoint, ID–Big Trip #3

    We visited Sandpoint in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. This was the point in the trip where we were supposed to turn north and head for Banff, long on my travel wish list! But alas, due to stupid Covid and the US’s inept handling…

    Two days in Kalispell/Whitefish, MT–Big Trip #3

    We visited Kalispell and Whitefish in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Glacier National Park was incredible, but we were ready for fewer people and more hiking with Bugsy, so we relocated a bit to the west to hit a different section of Flathead National Forest. Two neighboring towns appealed to us as potential…

    One night in New Ulm, MN–Big Trip #3

    We visited New Ulm in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Where? Yes. We were heading to Fargo from Charles City, and didn’t want to drive a million hours, so looked for a small town with character in Minnesota to stop at for the night. Our first choice was Red Wing (no offense, New…

    Two nights in Indianapolis, IN–Big Trip #3

    We visited Indianapolis in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. And we’re off! We packed our face masks and hand sanitizer and hit the road for the Covid-killing sunshine and fresh air of the Rockies. First stop after a long driving day from VA was Indianapolis, home to good beer, interesting touristy stuff,…

    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…

  • Trip planning: Quick Southeast lollipop in January

    Trip planning: Quick Southeast lollipop in January

    This planning post was for a trip down through the Southeast to New Orleans in January 2020. Needing to be in Atlanta in January is a good excuse to un-winterize the Airstream and spend a couple weeks in warmer climes. Here’s what we’re thinking for maximizing sunshine, nature, food, and drink: As you know if…
