adventures with a dog and an airstream
We were in Fayetteville from May 20 to May 22, 2021. This was our second visit; read about our first trip to Fayetteville (WV, not AR, that was a different trip) here. The final group stop on our caravan trip...
We were in New Orleans from February 19 to February 22, 2021. Read about our previous visit in 2020 here. We almost didn’t go to New Orleans. After our Texas ordeal, we kind of wanted to shoot straight across to...
We were in San Antonio from January 29 to January 31, 2021. In all our gallivanting around Texas, we’d never taken the Airstream to San Antonio. We’ve seen Austin and San Antonio as an either/or, can’t stop at both, and...
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 didn’t do anything...

With a one-day gap between Ketchum and our next stop, Park City, we looked for a spot along the way to spend the night in the woods with easy access to a morning hike, like we had in Stanley. We...
This was a (literal) turning point in our trip: Initially we’d planned to scoot farther west, to see Crater Lake and Lassen Volcanic, visit some friends in Oregon and Reno, and return to Great Basin… and then all those forest...
Holy moly. We have a range of emotions about Yellowstone! To start: it’s incredibly gorgeous, with mesmerizing geology and exciting animals. But then: there are SO many people. Clogging the roads, clogging the trails, clogging the overlooks… And when I...
Pretty little St Augustine is VERY touristy, especially around the holidays. Here’s the first impression I jotted down on our initial trip into downtown: “Holy hell people everywhere.” The holiday crowds were NUTS. But after we figured out how to...
