Two nights in Duluth, MN (visit #2)–Big Trip #5
We visited Duluth as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. Read about our previous visit in August 2022 here. From Grand Marais, it was a scenic two-hour drive along the Lake Superior coast to Duluth, easy except for construction just north of Duluth. That construction factored into our decision making the following day when choosing a…

One night in Thunder Bay, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Thunder Bay as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. We loved our time in the wilds of Ontario, but we were ready for a city with some eating and drinking options, and a campground with full hookups! Thunder Bay is just over an hour west of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park, so we grabbed…

One night in Wawa, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Wawa as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. From our final hike on Nokomis Trail in Lake Superior Provincial Park, it was only about a 20-minute drive to the town of Wawa. We planned to stop briefly there to restock groceries, but then learned about a a giant goose and a…

Three nights in Watkins Glen, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Watkins Glen as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. So we didn’t love Ithaca. Brainstorming other nearby options that would give us similar access to gorges and state parks as we had in Ithaca, but based in a quirkier and more charming town, we landed on Watkins Glen, a half hour…

One night in Paris, VA–Big Trip #5
We visited Paris as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. And we’re off! First stop on our fall trip, previously known as the Ontario loop and now as Big Trip #5, was wee Paris, VA. The primary reason we chose Paris was to dine at a specific restaurant, but we were happy with…

Two nights in Hendersonville, NC—Thanksgiving Mountains loop
We visited Hendersonville as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. Hendersonville is only twenty miles from Brevard, our previous stop, and only thirty miles from Asheville. We could have easily visited as a day trip from either of those places, but we are so glad we spent two nights in Hendersonville instead.…

Two nights in Banner Elk, NC–October WV/NC Mountains loop
We visited Banner Elk in October 2025 as part of our October WV/NC Mountains loop. I loved Banner Elk. It’s a tiny town way up in the mountains of northwest North Carolina, beyond the larger towns of Boone and Blowing Rock. The Appalachian Trail passes close to Banner Elk, and it’s home to two ski…

One night in Asheville, NC (visit #18)–May Carolinas loop
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…

Carolinas in November: Retrospective
In November 2024, we made a big loop down the South Carolina coast and back up through central SC and into the NC mountains. We had a ton of fun, ate and drank and played a lot, saw nature and art and history, and would love to do a variation on this trip again in…

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…
