  • One night in Erwin, TN–Quickie Fall Loop

    One night in Erwin, TN–Quickie Fall Loop

    We were in Erwin in November 2021, as part of our quickie fall loop from Erwin to Asheville to Lake Lure, NC. Read about our second visit in September 2023 here. I say “in Erwin, TN,” but we didn’t actually go into Erwin proper. We did see a sign for Union Street Taproom, so there’s…

    Quickie fall loop: Erwin, TN – Asheville, NC – Lake Lure, NC

    We did this loop from November 15 to November 20, 2021. We live in central Virginia, and when we want to take the Airstream out for a few days our usual quickie destination is Asheville. We’ve been there a bunch of times and it checks all the boxes for us: great food, beer, cocktails, hiking,…

    Three nights in New Orleans, LA (visit #2)–Winter Warmth trip

    We were in New Orleans in February 2021 during our Winter Warmth trip. Read about our previous visit in 2020 here and our subsequent visit in 2024 here. We almost didn’t go to New Orleans. After our Texas ordeal, we kind of wanted to shoot straight across to Florida for guaranteed sun and warmth. But…

  • Two days in San Antonio, TX–Winter Warmth trip

    Two days in San Antonio, TX–Winter Warmth trip

    We were in San Antonio in January 2021, as part of our Winter Warmth Trip. 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 we love Austin so much that it has always won. Well, it…

  • Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #8)–Big Trip #3

    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…

    We were in Memphis in late October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2017 here, and subsequent visits in 2022 here and 2023 here. We are flying back East! Colorado to Kansas to Missouri to Tennessee (sort of), where we could take it easy for a day. We…

  • One night at Ridgway State Park, CO–Big Trip #3

    One night at Ridgway State Park, CO–Big Trip #3

    We visited Ridgway in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Ridgway State Park has been on our wish list map since our first Big Trip in 2016, and it made a good place to relax, reset, and come down from our Crested Butte high as we began the long loop toward home. The main…

  • One night in Logan, UT–Big Trip #3

    One night in Logan, UT–Big Trip #3

    We visited Logan in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. 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 found it in Logan!…

  • Two days in Ketchum, ID–Big Trip #3

    Two days in Ketchum, ID–Big Trip #3

    We visited Ketchum in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. 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 fires all over the…
