Maine faded in the rear-view mirror as we rambled into New Hampshire for a few days. I found the state motto, “Live Free or Die,” refreshing in this time where the motto of an increasing number of Americans appears to be…
Philly Phanatics
On our way to New York City, we stopped for a few days in Philadelphia, camping at the West Chester KOA. We had a great spot overlooking rollings hills. Unfortunately, the weather failed to cooperate for much of our stay and…
Dandy Days in D.C.
With Virginia’s Historic Triangle now history, we zoomed up I-95 and around the D.C. Beltway to setup shop at Cherry Hill Park in College Park, MD. We allocated a week to the D.C. area. It could have been two and…

The Wonder of Yellowstone
Fifteen weeks ago we departed Georgia to tour the West. Yellowstone National Park reigned as the top “must do” attraction. Though we were within spitting distance of Yellowstone’s iconic north gate when we passed through Montana in July, we resisted…
Gateway to Great Times
We embarked on this trip expecting to see and do new things. But sometimes it is just as much fun to renew old ties and revisit the past. We did just that as we moved west to St. Louis, the…
