Theodore Roosevelt National Park
We visited TRNP in late summer 2020 as part of Big Trip #3, and again in late summer 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We’ve now been to Medora, North Dakota and Theodore Roosevelt National Park twice, and both times had an incredible experience because 1) the scenery is gorgeous, and 2) it’s not…

One night in New Ulm, MN–Big Trip #3
We visited New Ulm in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Where? Yes. We were heading to Fargo from Charles City, and didn’t want to drive a million hours, so looked for a small town with character in Minnesota to stop at for the night. Our first choice was Red Wing (no offense, New…

Three days in Eastpoint, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Eastpoint in early January 2020 as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip. Read about our second visit in February 2021 here. From St Augustine, it was an uneventful 4.5-hour drive across the top of Florida to Eastpoint, on the so-called Forgotten Coast of Florida’s panhandle. This area feels completely different to other parts…

Four days in St Augustine, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in St Augustine as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip in January 2020. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. Pretty little St Augustine is VERY touristy, especially around the holidays.

Campground After leaving Bar Harbor, we wanted to explore Central Maine’s coast, so we spent two nights at Megunticook Campground near the towns of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland.

Five days in Virgin, UT–Big Trip #2
We visited Virgin in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We visited Zion for only a half day on our first Big Trip two years ago and didn’t really get why people are obsessed with this National Park. This trip, we wanted to really understand Zion’s appeal, so we stayed close by for…

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…

Trip planning: Asheville, Nashville, Pisgah/Nantahala…
In my opinion, trip planning is almost as exciting as trip taking! We’re starting to think about our biannual Asheville Airstreaming pilgrimage, and wondering what other explorations we can cram in while we’re out and about. Right now, we’re leaning toward a few days in Nashville in our favorite parking lot campsite, a couple days…
