Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #8)–Big Trip #3
We were in Ashville in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our Asheville favorites here. Asheville is generally our first or last (or both) stop on any Airstream trip. We love this city–great hiking, food, beer, cocktails, and campground. It checks all our boxes! We’ve written extensively about our Asheville stays and…

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…

Trip planning: the Smokies in the Spring
Expecting to travel this Spring with the current COVID-19 situation may be wishful thinking, but what better way to distract myself from the news than by dreaming about adventures? Before all this pandemic crap we were going to go to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in April. Hopefully even though we can’t go this Spring,…

Three days in Asheville, NC (visit #7)–Misty Mountain Week trip
We were in Asheville in September 2019; we also visited Fayetteville and the Misty Mountain Music Festival on this week away. The Airstream had been parked all summer after we got home from our Maine trip, alone and lonely (except for the collection of black widows hanging out around the chocks and levelers), until we…

Trip planning: Asheville NC and Fayetteville WV
This planning post was for a trip to Asheville and Fayetteville in September 2019. …but our ultimate destination isn’t either of those places. It’s our Airstream’s old home Misty Mountain Camp Resort in Crozet, VA, for the Misty Mountain Music Festival, a weekend of Virginia performers and local food, beer, and crafts. This will be…

Asheville, NC hiking index
Read our many Asheville posts here! Hello! This is not a normal trip recap or planning post, sorry. We’re heading to our favorite quickie Airstream destination, Asheville, next weekend to meet our favorite people from Atlanta (who let us park the Airstream in their driveway when we visit)–but without the Airstream (gasp!) and without Bugsy…

Airstream servicing in Greensboro and urban camping in Burlington, NC–Big Trip #2
We were in Burlington in October 2018 at the beginning of Big Trip #2. We have parked the Airstream in my sister’s driveway in Burlington, NC, a couple times. It’s a wonderful campground! One especially exciting activity this visit: Bugsy got to meet her new cousin, Sabine the Dachshund! They ignored each other really well.…

Five days in Asheville, NC (visit #6)
We visited Asheville in September 2018. We also visited Sylva as part of this short trip. …and we’re back in Asheville. As I mentioned in my Sylva post, we needed a quick trip to knock the dust off our Airstreaming skills before our next Big Trip in a couple weeks. You may know that we…

Two days in Sylva, NC
We visited Sylva in September 2018. We also visited Asheville as part of this short trip. This little foray into Western NC had two stops: Sylva, to more easily access hikes west of Asheville that would normally be out of driving range, and Asheville, for our usual eating/drinking/hiking/city adventure and fun. (We had to cancel…
