Recap: 12 days on the Lake Superior Circle Tour, ON & MN–Big Trip #5
We drove across the Canada side and down the Minnesota side of Lake Superior as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. Months ago, when we started planning what would become Big Trip #5, we knew we wanted to go up through the Finger Lakes, into Ontario, across the top of Lake Superior, and down the…

One night in Thunder Bay, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Thunder Bay as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. We loved our time in the wilds of Ontario, but we were ready for a city with some eating and drinking options, and a campground with full hookups! Thunder Bay is just over an hour west of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park, so we grabbed…

One night in Rainbow Falls Provincial Park, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Rainbow Falls as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. Rainbow Falls is only an hour and a half from Pukaskwa, or an hour from Marathon. It’s a small provincial park, and we really only chose it to break up the drive from Pukaskwa to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park (two hours further…

One night in Chutes Provincial Park, ON–Big Trip #5
We visited Chutes as part of Big Trip #5 in September 2026. From Killarney, it was an easy (if boring because we’d already done half of it) two-hour drive to Chutes Provincial Park, a small park on the edge of a small town, Massey. Chutes is named for a logging chute that diverted logs around…

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…
