    One night in Damascus, VA (visit #2)–Five Days in the Mountains

    We visited Damascus in September 2023, as part of our Five Days in the Mountains trip. Read about our first visit in 2016 here. We couldn’t dally too long on the Nolichucky because we had a bike shuttle reservation in Damascus! Our first Airstream trip after Big Trip #1 was to Damascus, a tiny town…

  • Two days in Floyd, VA (visit #2)

    Two days in Floyd, VA (visit #2)

    We visited Floyd in August 2021. Read about our first visit to Floyd in May 2021 here. We also visited Boone, NC on this trip. Floyd is the coolest little mountain town (although it’s not our #1 absolute favorite little mountain town), especially on Friday nights in the summer when there’s a jamming bluegrass band…

    Two nights in Floyd, VA

    We were in Floyd from May 22 to May 24, 2021, as part of our week-long RV caravan with friends, and we returned in August! Floyd is a wee tiny town with an awesome name just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in the mountains of southwest Virginia. It’s a scenic 2.5-hour drive from Fayetteville WV, our…

    Trip planning: NC/WV/VA RV caravan with friends!

    Oh boy! This will be a different kind of trip for us! While we’re mostly spending time in places we’ve been before, we’re doing it in a new way: our besties have rented an RV and will be parking next to us! We finally convinced our friends to try RVing and they’re hooked. She has…

  • A Weekend at the Misty Mountain Music Festival

    A Weekend at the Misty Mountain Music Festival

    We took the Airstream to Misty Mountain after visiting Asheville and Fayetteville in September 2019. The final destination of our week-long Airstream jaunt was the Misty Mountain Music Festival, at our old home campground, Misty Mountain Camp Resort in Greenwood, VA. I didn’t take any notes, or take many photos that don’t include people who…

  • Big Trip #2 catch-up

    Big Trip #2 catch-up

    We were on Big Trip #2 in fall of 2018. Okay, so we’ve been back home in VA for a month now and I’m still writing about Utah and Arizona. It’s fun to relive our adventures in the Western sun, sitting here in gloomy Virginia where it’s threatening to sleet later today. Maybe we should…

  • 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…

  • Our next Airstream adventure is a doozy.

    Our next Airstream adventure is a doozy.

    We full-timed in the Airstream in Crozet for six months in late 2016-early 2017. The Airstream is settled back home in Virginia for the foreseeable future, except for brief jaunts here and there: three days in Southwestern VA, a four-day music festival, and next week, a few days of hiking in WV. But a couple weeks ago we started a different kind…

  • Airstreaming at Lockn’ Music Festival

    Airstreaming at Lockn’ Music Festival

    We took the Airstream to Lockn’ in August 2016. Does this belong on AirstreamDog? Because our Airstream Dog didn’t accompany us–the first trip we’ve done in the Airstream without Bugsy. We spent four nights camping in an enormous field of RVs, down the road from an even bigger tent city, surrounded by oppressive heat, orange…

    First post-Big Trip #1 trip: Three days in Damascus, VA

    We first visited Damascus in August 2016. Read about our second visit in September 2023 here. After wrapping up Big Trip #1 in mid-June, we made plans to take the Airstream to a music festival in late August, so in early August we went camping for a few days to make sure everything still worked and we…
