One night in Fredericksburg, TX (visit #3)–Tucson for Christmas trip
We visited Fredericksburg in January 2024 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our second visit in 2018 here, and our first in 2016 here. As we drove east from Las Cruces, we considered options for our next stop along I-10 on the way to Austin. Fort Stockton is just under five…

New River Gorge National Park
This post combines activities in the New River Gorge from visits in September 2019, in May 2021, and in September 2023. The first time we visited Fayetteville, WV, in 2019, New River Gorge National Park wasn’t yet a national park! Previously designated a National River, the 70,000 acres surrounding the New River (actually one of the…

One night in Alamogordo, NM–Big Trip #4
We were in Alamogordo at the beginning of November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Heading east from Tucson, you can’t not stop at White Sands National Park. Well, you CAN not stop–we’ve driven past it twice now and not stopped, thinking what’s the big deal about sand dunes, we’ve seen them before, and hiking…

Two nights in Ventura, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited Ventura in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Ventura was really only on our radar because friends had lived there until a few years ago, and they adored it, and they are cool people, so we should like it, right? Right! We loved it. Ventura’s a surprisingly quiet surf town…

Three nights in Lake Tahoe, CA & NV–Big Trip #4
We visited Lake Tahoe in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. J and I had been to Lake Tahoe before: we went skiing at Homewood a million years ago, and while we don’t remember where we stayed or ate, or even all the people we traveled with, that bright blue lake framing…

Banff National Park
We visited Banff for four days in mid-September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 I’ve wanted to visit Banff National Park in Alberta since I saw a photo of Lake Louise in my Sierra Club calendar as a preteen. We tried to visit in 2020 on Big Trip #3, but Covid kept us out…

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
We visited Cuyahoga Valley National Park in August 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite… Cuyahoga Valley National Park? Don’t go to Cuyahoga expecting dramatic vistas and crazy wildlife. It’s an urban park, squeezed between towns and along highways, with no escape from the constant drone of traffic. But the woods…

Three nights in Palm Harbor/Dunedin, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Palm Harbor in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. From Venice, it’s a two hour drive up to the Dunedin/Palm Harbor area, just north of Clearwater and northwest of Tampa. The shortest route includes the bonkers Skyway bridge, which was scary to pull the Airstream over on a windy…

One night in Ocean Springs, MS–Winter Warmth trip
We were in Ocean Springs in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. We left Atlanta and headed west, stopping for a night in Ocean Springs, MS, a posh and bustling little beach town full of eating and drinking establishments. It’s a quainter alternative to larger Biloxi across the bay. The main commercial…

One night in Telluride, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Telluride in mid-October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. We were supposed to have two nights in Telluride, but we screwed up the dates and missed our first night, and our second night was the very last night the campground was open for the year. Too bad–we would have liked another day…
