2025 Travel Stats
There is a lot to process when we are traveling. We’re on the road for extended periods of time and visit so many places that it’s difficult for us to recall all the details when we return home. That’s one of the reasons we started this journal. We want to hold on to our travel…

We like to sip our corn
We have frequently commented on how the Harvest Hosts program has enabled us to visit so many wineries, breweries and distilleries. These overnight stops eliminate any concern about getting home safely, so long as we are able to walk to our home-on-wheels in the parking lot. We decided to visit a few distilleries along the…

Baseball Bats and Bourbon
Here it is late February 2026, and we are almost finished writing travel blogs for our 2025 journeys. We have one more location to share after this and updates to a few other posts so the site will not go completely dormant. Since we plan to leave for our first trip of the 2026 season…

Mammoth Cave- NOT!
RV travel requires rolling with the punches. During this trip, despite our best laid plans (and having the required reservations), we needed to change course when Mammoth Cave National Park closed due to the federal shutdown. We were so looking forward to visiting the cave – a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve –…

Paducah, Kentucky Part 2
Like many cities located along the Ohio River, Paducah has experienced serious flooding. The worst recorded flood occurred in January of 1937 when the Ohio River crested at just under 61 feet and flooded the city for over 3 weeks. Over 90 percent of the city was flooded. The 1937 flood affected towns and cities…

pə-DOO-kə, Kentucky Part 1
We were both excited to visit Paducah (pə-DOO-kə). Neither of us had ever been to this part of Kentucky before and Paducah was on our travel route to a few Harvest Hosts along the Bourbon Trail. The town’s name intrigued us. That’s one of the great advantages of RV travel—visiting all the locations “in-between” our…

Fine Art and BBQ
We love and feel enriched by all the places our RV travels have taken us. One place in particular is The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art located in Bentonville, Arkansas. The Museum was established by Alice Walton, American billionaire and heiress to the fortune of Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart and Sam’s Club. The…

East and West Pleasure-Way Connection Rally 2025
It is always fun to get together with people with common interests. Going to a Pleasure-Way rally is incredibly fun because we get to spend time with hundreds of people who share the same love and method of travel and that we do. And speaking of sharing, warmest thanks to Mark Haskell, a Pleasure-Way owner,…

Biggest, tallest, deepest…
Updated 1/12/2026 As we have traveled across the US and Canada we have been intrigued and amused by the many large sculptures and “world’s largest” claims, so we decided to collect them in this post. Updates from our 2025 Travels Collinsville, Illinois The World’s Largest Catsup bottle is a water tower built in 1949 for…

Fallingwater
In late September, we started on a trip that would eventually take us to the East and West Coast Pleasureway Owners meet up in Branson, Mo. We attended this same rally two years ago. As with most of our trips, we meandered through a number of states visiting relatives and checking out interesting places along…
