    Four days in Escalante, Utah (visit #2)–Big Trip #2

    We visited Escalante in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, during Big Trip #1. Escalante was one of our favorite little hiking towns on our first Big Trip. This time we were farther into the off-season, so many stores and restaurants were closed, but we…

    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…

  • One day in Rock Springs, WY–Big Trip #2

    One day in Rock Springs, WY–Big Trip #2

    We were in Rock Springs in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. If you’ve missed our headlong rush across the country, we’re in a hurry to get to Utah. We needed a stopover between Denver and Park City, so picked a town on the way that has a brewery: Rock Springs, Wyoming. One…

    Airstream servicing in Greensboro and urban camping in Burlington, NC–Big Trip #2

    We were in Burlington in October 2018 at the beginning of Big Trip #2. We have parked the Airstream in my sister’s driveway in Burlington, NC, a couple times. It’s a wonderful campground! One especially exciting activity this visit: Bugsy got to meet her new cousin, Sabine the Dachshund! They ignored each other really well.…

  • Two days in Sylva, NC

    Two days in Sylva, NC

    We visited Sylva in September 2018. We also visited Asheville as part of this short trip. This little foray into Western NC had two stops: Sylva, to more easily access hikes west of Asheville that would normally be out of driving range, and Asheville, for our usual eating/drinking/hiking/city adventure and fun. (We had to cancel…

  • Six+ months (!) in Crozet, VA

    Six+ months (!) in Crozet, VA

    We full-timed in the Airstream the first half of 2018. We’ve stayed in a lot of campgrounds across and up and down the US (see where on this map!), and Misty Mountain Camp Resort in the village of Crozet, just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, is the nicest campground we’ve found–which is lucky for us, as we…

    Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Carrboro in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We specifically went to the Carrboro area to see a band we love, Destroyer, whom we followed from Asheville. A lovely bonus to this stop is that my mom, sister, and nephew live nearby and could pop over for a visit!…

  • Two days in Medicine Park, OK–Big Bend Loop

    Two days in Medicine Park, OK–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Medicine Park in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. We learned about Medicine Park from one of the million “best small town” lists we’ve read over the last couple years for Airstream trip planning purposes. The tiny, historic resort town is making a comeback from being down on its…
