Two nights in Niagara Falls, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Niagara Falls as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. Crossing into Niagara Falls, Ontario marked our first time taking the Airstream to Canada! Not our first time visiting Canada while Airstreaming–that was when we popped across from Sault Ste Marie, Michigan to Sault Ste Marie, Ontario on Big Trip #1, but…

One night in Letchworth State Park, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Letchworth as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. From sweet Watkins Glen it’s only an hour drive to Letchworth State Park, home of the “Grand Canyon of the East,” where the Genesee River cuts a dramatic gorge featuring three massive waterfalls. It made our wishlist because it was voted the #1…

Three nights in Watkins Glen, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Watkins Glen as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. So we didn’t love Ithaca. Brainstorming other nearby options that would give us similar access to gorges and state parks as we had in Ithaca, but based in a quirkier and more charming town, we landed on Watkins Glen, a half hour…

One night in Ithaca, NY–Big Trip #5
We visited Ithaca as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. I’ve been intrigued by Ithaca since I was a kid and saw “Ithaca is Gorges” on a bumper sticker at home in Virginia. I don’t know if it was the thought of dramatic nature or the wordplay that appealed to me more, but…

One night in Rickett’s Glen State Park, PA–Big Trip #5
We visited Rickett’s Glen as part of Big Trip #5 in August 2026. J read about Rickett’s Glen on one of the many travel lists we read… and I can’t find the specific list. So let me just tell you that it’s awesome and worth including if you’re mapping out a road trip through central…

Brevard, NC addendum: two nights in Brevard sans Airstream
Read about our first Brevard visit in May 2025 here, and our second in November 2025 here. I just got back from a couple days in Brevard without the Airstream, without J, and without my Airstream Dog. While normally I wouldn’t post here about a non-Airstream trip, I have some good stuff to report for our next…

UPDATE FROM THE ROAD: HERE’S WHERE WE’VE BEEN SO FAR! ******* Uncle Jim, you will be disappointed… we finally chose between our two very competitive late summer itinerary rivals, and the winner is ONTARIO! We are super excited! The Ontario portion is focused on the provincial parks lining the northern shore of Lake Superior. We…

Two nights in Townsend, TN—Thanksgiving Mountains loop
We visited Townsend as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. Townsend had been on our radar since we researched a Smokies trip in 2020. Of the Tennessee-side gateway towns to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it appealed most to us as a base from which to explore the Cades Cove section of…

One night in Bryson City, NC (visit #2)–October WV/NC Mountains loop
We visited Bryson City in October 2025 as part of our October WV/NC Mountains loop. Read about our first Bryson City visit in May 2025 here. From Waynesville it was a pleasant 45-minute drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park parking area near Bryson City. We’d gotten up early and were fortunate to snag…

Two nights in Brevard, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Brevard in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Read about our second visit in November 2025 here, and my non-Airstream Brevard visit in June 2026 here. After a lovely two days in Bryson City, we drove an easy 1.5 hours back east to Brevard, 40 minutes south of Asheville and…
