Recap: 12 days on the Lake Superior Circle Tour, ON & MN–Big Trip #5
We drove across the Canada side and down the Minnesota side of Lake Superior as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. Months ago, when we started planning what would become Big Trip #5, we knew we wanted to go up through the Finger Lakes, into Ontario, across the top of Lake Superior, and down the…

Two nights in Duluth, MN (visit #2)–Big Trip #5
We visited Duluth as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. Read about our previous visit in August 2022 here. From Grand Marais, it was a scenic two-hour drive along the Lake Superior coast to Duluth, easy except for construction just north of Duluth. That construction factored into our decision making the following day when choosing a…

One night in Thunder Bay, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Thunder Bay as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. We loved our time in the wilds of Ontario, but we were ready for a city with some eating and drinking options, and a campground with full hookups! Thunder Bay is just over an hour west of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park, so we grabbed…

Two nights in Niagara Falls, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Niagara Falls as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. Crossing into Niagara Falls, Ontario marked our first time taking the Airstream to Canada! Not our first time visiting Canada while Airstreaming–that was when we popped across from Sault Ste Marie, Michigan to Sault Ste Marie, Ontario on Big Trip #1, but…

One night in Ithaca, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Ithaca as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. I’ve been intrigued by Ithaca since I was a kid and saw “Ithaca is Gorges” on a bumper sticker at home in Virginia. I don’t know if it was the thought of dramatic nature or the wordplay that appealed to me more, but…

Trip planning take 2: Rockies or Ontario?
I’m still in trip dreaming and planning mode over here in icy Virginia. J and I are tossing around the idea of doing a Big Trip late this summer; in the past we’d done a Big Trip every two years (#1 in 2016, #2 in 2018, #3 in 2020, and #4 in 2022), but this…

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #19)–October WV/NC Mountains loop
We visited Asheville in October 2025 as part of our October WV/NC Mountains loop. Read about alllll our other Asheville visits here. We stopped for a night in Asheville to break up the drive home from Bryson City, an hour west. But we also stopped because we love Asheville! This will be a boring post…

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #18)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Asheville in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. We spent the final night of our May trip in our favorite close-to-home RV destination, Asheville, an easy 40-minute drive north from Brevard. With just one night in the city, we focused on our standard…

One night in Richmond, VA (visit #2) and three nights in Atlantic Beach, NC (visit #1)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Richmond and Atlantic Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop; read about our first (Airstream) visit to Richmond way back in 2016 here. Writing up the night we spent in Richmond and the weekend we spent in Atlantic Beach has been a struggle for us, as Richmond turned out…
