    We visited Waddell in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. If you’re here for info on Waddell, a small town 20 miles northwest of Phoenix, sorry but I don’t know anything about it.

    One night in Huntington Beach, CA–Big Trip #4

    We visited Huntington Beach in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Huntington Beach was a last-minute addition to our itinerary, added when we learned our friend Sara from VA was going to be in the next town on business. We lucked into a sweet campsite and had a great time in town,…

    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…

  • Five days in Charleston, SC

    Five days in Charleston, SC

    We visited Charleston in March 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. Charleston is a beautiful and interesting city, full of history, culture, and great food and beer, and we look forward to a return visit… but without our tin can house so we can stay in town! As is the case with campgrounds in…
