    Three days in Asheville, NC (visit #5)–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Asheville in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We’ve posted a bunch of times about Asheville; check out all the posts here. Yes, Asheville again. I’ll keep this short since we keep going to Asheville and visiting a lot of the same places, and I promise to write an

  • Four days in St Louis, MO–Big Bend Loop

    Four days in St Louis, MO–Big Bend Loop

    We visited St Louis in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. St Louis isn’t somewhere we’d ever talked about visiting. All I really knew about it was that the Arch is there. But while researching this trip’s itinerary, J discovered that St Louis is one of the rare big cities that has

  • One day in Terlingua, TX–Big Bend Loop

    One day in Terlingua, TX–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Terlingua in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. How do I describe Terlingua… It’s a tiny ghost town in the desert with nightly live music and delicious margaritas. It’s famous for its annual chili cookoff–which is actually two competing cookoffs, and one giant party–every November. It’s a surprising little

    Austin: Exploring the City–Winter Loop to Austin

    This post is from our visit in January 2017 when we took a Winter Loop to Austin trip! We loved Austin. Did I mention that when telling you about our eating and drinking exploits there? It may not seem like it from my other Austin posts, but we actually did a lot around the city that

  • Two days in Jonesborough, TN–Big Trip #1

    Two days in Jonesborough, TN–Big Trip #1

    We visited Jonesborough in June 2016 during Big Trip #1. This was a great stop for us–fantastic camping, rewarding hiking, good beer and delicious tacos. One activity we missed was exploring historic Jonesborough, which looks quaint and lovely, but we prioritized enjoying our sweet campsite over driving more. We’ll just have to go back! Campground We stayed

  • Two days in Sault Ste. Marie, MI–Big Trip #1

    Two days in Sault Ste. Marie, MI–Big Trip #1

    We visited Sault Ste Marie in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. After Houghton, we had a few days of play in our schedule before we were due in Traverse City, so after extensive googling and debating we decided to spend part of that time in Sault Ste. Marie. That’s pronounced “soo saint marie.” We loved our campsite–another sweet waterfront
