Trip recap: October WV/NC Mountains loop
Hello! Because I’ve been so behind on writing posts about our May loop around the Carolinas, I didn’t bother to write a planning post for our October trip, so here’s the planning and recap all at once! We had plans with friends in the West Virginia mountains in early October, so used that as an…

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…

Two nights in Brevard, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Brevard in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. After a lovely two days in Bryson City, we drove an easy 1.5 hours back east to Brevard, 40 minutes south of Asheville and hilariously to us, just 20 minute up the road from Lake Toxaway. Brevard’s draw for us was its…

Two nights in Lake Toxaway, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Lake Toxaway in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Lake Toxaway is an hour due north of Clemson, between Highlands and Brevard in southwestern North Carolina. Our primary reason for visiting was to hike in Panthertown Valley, called by someone the “Yosemite of the East.” While we didn’t necessarily see…

One night in Oak Island, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Oak Island in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. In early May, my dad was wrapping up a late-winter hibernation in Southport, NC, so when planning our route down the North Carolina coast we looked for campgrounds in that area. A pleasant 2.5-hour drive south from Atlantic Beach later we…

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…

Trip recap: May Carolinas loop
Forgive us if it takes a while to get back into our normal writing groove. Looking at photos and trip details without Bugsy here makes us sad, but we know we’ll want to be able to reference our travel notes in the future, so we’re trying to get back on that horse. We ended up…

Planning again, but shorter and sooner: May three-weeker
As some blocks of activities and obligations shift around on our Spring calendar, we’re seeing the possibility of a three-ish-week Airstream trip in May, and since I love to trip-plan, here I am to type up some ideas. Alas, we don’t have enough time to go all the way to Wind Cave. I had so…

Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #17)–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Asheville in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. We were nervous and excited to return to Asheville for our first post-Helene visit. Our favorite part of town, the River Arts District, was decimated by the flooding, and many of the old warehouses…
