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…

Two nights in San Luis Obispo, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited SLO in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. San Luis Obispo was originally supposed to be the next stop after Santa Cruz. We pictured ourselves doing the entire scenic drive along Route 1 through Big Sur in one day from top to bottom; instead, we did the top half of…

Four days in Park City, UT (visit #2)–Big Trip #3
We visited Park City in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our visit in 2018 here during Big Trip #2. Park City is a fun stop. The hiking is incredible, the food and cocktails are delicious, and with a big commercial area near the campground, you can easily restock supplies and run…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #3
We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped around Colorado and then hopped back across the country toward home. (Here are catch-up #1…

Glacier National Park
We visited the west side of Glacier National Park in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3, and the east side in September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Glacier National Park is popular! All this popularity means crowds in the campgrounds, crowds in the parking lots, crowds on the scenic drives, and…

Three days in Kanab, UT–Big Trip #2
We visited Kanab in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Kanab is perfectly positioned as a base for exploring the southern part of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, a magical place under threat from the current administration. GSENM was our favorite area on our first Big Trip and we were thrilled to spend some…

Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop
We visited Carrboro in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We specifically went to the Carrboro area to see a band we love, Destroyer, whom we followed from Asheville. A lovely bonus to this stop is that my mom, sister, and nephew live nearby and could pop over for a visit!…

AirstreamDog’s Tips For Traveling With Your Dog
We are very lucky that Bugsy is a great traveler! She’s happy as a clam sleeping on her comfy dog bed in a crate in the car, and when we leave her in the Airstream when we go out on the town, she’ll lounge on the humans’ bed and watch the campground world go by…

Three days in Houghton, MI–Big Trip #1
We visited Houghton in late May 2016, as part of Big Trip #1. Raise your hand if you can point out Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on a map. Anyone? Yeah, I couldn’t either. Michigan is often referred to as the Mitten State, because, well, look at it and you’ll see the mitten and thumb. But look closer and you’ll…
