Trip planning: the Smokies in the Spring
Expecting to travel this Spring with the current COVID-19 situation may be wishful thinking, but what better way to distract myself from the news than by dreaming about adventures? Before all this pandemic crap we were going to go to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in April. Hopefully even though we can’t go this Spring,…

Four days in New Orleans, LA (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in New Orleans as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our second visit in 2021 here and our third visit in 2024 here. A big city has to be special for us to take the Airstream there: in addition to having fun and/or interesting things to do and…

Four days in St Augustine, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in St Augustine as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. Pretty little St Augustine is VERY touristy, especially around the holidays. Here’s the first impression I jotted down on our initial trip into downtown: “Holy hell people everywhere.” The holiday crowds were…

Two days in Nashville, TN (visit #4)–Big Trip #2
We were in Nashville in December 2018, as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our favorites from all six of our Nashville visits here. Nashville was our second-to-last stop on Big Trip #2, because it’s well-positioned for heading home from Out West, and because it’s a super fun town with a great urban camping situation.…

We visited Organ Pipe in November 2018, during Big Trip #2. This magical land of desert delights is an International Biosphere Reserve, home to virtually all the organ pipe cacti in the US. The organ pipe cactus, with is cluster of upright stems growing from a single low trunk, is named for its resemblance to…

We were in Dead Horse Point SP in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our previous visit in 2016 here during Big Trip #1. After spending several days in Escalante, we hitched up the Airstream and drove over Hell’s Backbone (stopping for breakfast at Hell’s Backbone Grill of course), continued down…

Five days in Asheville, NC (visit #6)
We visited Asheville in September 2018. We also visited Sylva as part of this short trip. …and we’re back in Asheville. As I mentioned in my Sylva post, we needed a quick trip to knock the dust off our Airstreaming skills before our next Big Trip in a couple weeks. You may know that we…

Two days in Sylva, NC
We visited Sylva in September 2018. We also visited Asheville as part of this short trip. This little foray into Western NC had two stops: Sylva, to more easily access hikes west of Asheville that would normally be out of driving range, and Asheville, for our usual eating/drinking/hiking/city adventure and fun. (We had to cancel…

Trip planning: Southwest for the late fall–Big Trip #2
This planning post was for what became Big Trip #2 in late 2018. Read the trip retrospective here! We haven’t even started our next Airstream trip (leaving next week!) (possibly subbing Babcock State Park in WV for Nashville as the TN State Fair has bumped us from our preferred campground at the Fairgrounds Nashville), but…

Asheville Favorites
We first wrote this post in 2018 after our fifth Asheville visit, but we’ve kept it up to date with our favorites since then! As of this writing, we’ve taken the Airstream to Asheville FOURTEEN times (we think–we stopped writing a post for each visit and think there was one between #11 and #12 in…
