Cades Cove or bust…..
Cades Cove is a scenic valley in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, spanning parts of Tennessee and North Carolina. This lush basin, surrounded by misty mountains and dense forests, offers a glimpse into the region’s...
Three times for me, A few thousand times for the cranes
We have been lugging a tiny home across the country for several years. In some of the years, gas is reasonable, but it is way too expensive in other years. Usually, I don’t think about how...
Camping along the Continental Divide Trail
The first time I drove the rig up five miles of narrow road to reach Brooks Lake, I was a little ill at ease pulling the ORV, hoping that there would be a campsite vacancy and...
Camping in a Cow Pasture or making new old friends
I’ve never been fond of the day after the conclusion of the Red Ants Pants Music Festival. It’s time to move on to our next somewhat planned campsite. I don’t have anything specific to do in...

There are probably several good reasons to consider staying in Moab, UT, although I can’t think of any at the moment. After leaving the Grand Junction area, the Princess and I drove eighty miles to be...
At the Confluence of the Gunnison and Colorado Rivers
I’m not quite sure when the last time I was in Grand Junction was, but a few years ago when we traveled with another couple on The California Zephyr train from Illinois on our way to...
Heading West by Southwest more or less anyway
It is only a few weeks since we left Nebraska and now, we are on another road trip that will eventually take us to Utah, with a couple of stops planned in Colorado. Our first scheduled...
