Six+ months (!) in Crozet, VA
We full-timed in the Airstream the first half of 2018. We’ve stayed in a lot of campgrounds across and up and down the US (see where on this map!), and Misty Mountain Camp Resort in the village of Crozet, just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, is the nicest campground we’ve found–which is lucky for us, as we…

Four days in St Louis, MO–Big Bend Loop
We visited St Louis in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. St Louis isn’t somewhere we’d ever talked about visiting. All I really knew about it was that the Arch is there. But while researching this trip’s itinerary, J discovered that St Louis is one of the rare big cities that has…

Two days in Branson, MO–Big Bend Loop
We visited Branson in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. Branson wasn’t on our initial itinerary for this trip, and then the NYT’s list of 52 Places to Go in 2018 was released–and Branson’s on the list! It’s on the way from Medicine Park to St Louis, and the route from Branson…

Three days in Fayetteville, AR–Big Bend Loop
We visited Fayetteville in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. I was surprised at how much I liked Fayetteville, not having really known much about it going in. We had mostly considered it a base from which to do some hiking in the Ozarks, but in addition to that, from the…

Two days in Medicine Park, OK–Big Bend Loop
We visited Medicine Park in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We learned about Medicine Park from one of the million “best small town” lists we’ve read over the last couple years for Airstream trip planning purposes. The tiny, historic resort town is making a comeback from being down on its…

We visited Big Bend in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. Read about our day trip to Big Bend in 2016 here, and our subsequent third visit here and fourth visit here. We made it! Big Bend National Park was the itinerary-shaping destination for this Airstream journey, and it was absolutely…

Trip planning: Asheville again!
This planning post is for a trip to Asheville in October 2017. Hello! After a stationary summer transitioning from the Airstream into our renovated house, we’re looking forward to dusting off the Airstream and hitting the road for a week next month. Our favorite quick and easy destination is Asheville, NC, for the culture, beer,…

One day in Unicoi and Johnson City, TN
We visited Unicoi and Johnson City in May 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. We also visited Nashville on this trip. We needed a stopover to break up the drive from Nashville to Charlottesville and wanted to be able to fit in a hike, so chose to stay at Woodsmoke Campground in Unicoi,…

Five days in Asheville, NC (visit #3)
We visited Asheville in April 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. We’ve written a bunch of Asheville posts; see our Asheville favorites here! We love Asheville. Have I mentioned that? This was our third and longest visit yet, and it has officially become our long weekend getaway destination of choice, for the reasonable driving…

Four days in Canaan Valley, WV
We visited Canaan Valley in November 2016, while full-timing in the Airstream. In the early Aughts, J and I (and Bugsy’s two dear departed predecessors) spent a lot of time in the Potomac Highlands of eastern West Virginia, hiking and biking in spectacular spots like Dolly Sods Wilderness, Seneca Rocks, and Spruce Knob – Seneca Creek Backcountry. We…
