Trip planning: Five days in the WV/VA/TN mountains
[EDIT: See end of this post to find out where we ended up going!] Our Airstream has been sadly sitting all alone since we brought it home from the repair shop after our last trip in the spring to the mountains of WV and NC. We had to get the leaky hot water heater and…

One night in Lewisburg, WV
We visited Lewisburg in April 2023, as part of our Spring in the mountains quickie. We left Seneca Rocks a day earlier than expected to cut a chunk from the longish drive to Asheville, the final stop on our spring Airstream trip. While hiking up to Chimney Top (where we had some cell service to…

One night in Seneca Rocks, WV
We visited Seneca Rocks in April 2023, as part of our Spring in the mountains quickie. From White Sulphur Springs it was a scenic drive north to Seneca Rocks, with no cell service pretty much the entire way thanks to the NRAO. As I mentioned last post, be sure to download anything internetty you might…

Trip planning: Spring quickie to the mountains
We went on this little trip in April 2023. This post has been edited to include where we actually went! We haven’t had the Airstream out since November (despite only finishing the Big Trip #4 posts just a few weeks ago–it took us a while to write everything up!), and we’re itching to hit the…

One night in West Memphis, AR (visit #3)–Big Trip #4
We were in West Memphis in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our two previous trips to Memphis in 2020 here and 2017 here, and our subsequent visit in 2023 here. This is one of my favorite quick stops on the I-40 slog through the middle of the country, and as we…

One night in Clarksville, AR–Big Trip #4
We were in Spadra in mid-November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. J was looking at the map along I-40 to find our next overnight between Tulsa and Memphis, and he zeroed in on a recreation area on a lake in western Arkansas, not far from the interstate. The photos of Spadra Park online were…

One night in Tulsa, OK–Big Trip #4
We were in Tulsa in early November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our second visit in 2023 here. Tulsa’s not quiiiite on the way home to VA from AZ, but it’s well worth the extra hour of driving if you’re traveling I-40 through Oklahoma, as we were when heading from Sayre to…

One-and-a-half days in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, TX–Big Trip #4
We were in Palo Duro in early November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Did you know the second largest canyon in the US is in Texas? I assume I don’t need to say what the #1 largest is. We’ve had Palo Duro Canyon on our master map of possible camping locations for a few…

Four nights in Tucson, AZ (visit #3)–Big Trip #4
We were in Tucson at the beginning of November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our first trip in 2018 here, our second in 2021 here, and our fourth in 2023 here. And I finally wrote a Tucson Favorites post! We weren’t supposed to go to Tucson during Big Trip #4. When building…

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…
