Uke N’ Brews
We have started our second RV trip to Canada. As some of you may recall, we had to cut last year’s trip short because we contracted COVID-19 – for the first time – while on Prince Edward Island (see Oh, Canada!). The first half of this trip is dedicated to visiting areas of eastern Quebec…

Cape Hatteras National Seashore
As in past springs we returned to the Oregon Inlet Campground on Cape Hatteras. The Oregon Inlet was formed by a hurricane in 1846 which separated Bodie Island from Pea Island. The campground is small, with 107 campsites and is located along NC-12, 20 miles south of the town of Kitty Hawk, NC. Whenever we…

2025 Spring Trip
Not every camping trip lasts for months and includes stops at National Parks with spectacular views. Some trips are visits to local attractions and stays at family campgrounds. We are on one of those now to get ready for longer trips this summer. This is a quick 14-day trip that includes stops in Virginia Beach,…

Improvements for the 2025 travel season
We have written an “improvements” post each spring since we started this blog in 2022. Here is another, a little more on the technical side. A concern that many people who do not own an RV ask is, how difficult is it to drive? Class B Vans such as our Ontour 2.2 was only 21′…

Close Encounters
Fans of Steven Spielberg will recognize this impressive geologic monolith — Devils Tower in northeastern Wyoming — as the site of the climatic final scenes of his 1977 sci-fi film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Neither of us had been to this part of the country and we decided on our way to Utah,…

PA to MA
Our first day of travel began like so many others: A trip to the Municipal trash facility so we didn’t have garbage sitting in the trash can for 6 weeks: Parking our two cars at the end of the driveway so our lawn service could get their mowers into the back yard; and ensuring the…

Sweet Start to Summer
Turns out that taking two quick trips in May was beneficial in so many ways. As mentioned in our last post, two of our favorite beach communities include the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Cape May, New Jersey. The purpose of traveling to these locales was to ensure the rig was ready for the…

Time to Pack
We are one week away from the first of two short “shake-down” trips in May. We decided to take a couple shorter trips in May to 1) ensure we’re prepared for longer trips this summer, i.e., did we remember everything?! (thus, “shake-down”), 2) settle into our new rig (we only had a month in the…

A few improvements before the start of the 2024 travel season
The temperatures have started to climb on the East Coast and that’s when the realization hit home that “Travel Season” is just a few months away. We best get started on all the improvements we contemplated doing when we purchased the Plateau XLTS last October so we will be ready for our first trip in…

All Fun, Games and Peanuts™ Too!
We have mentioned Harvest Hosts many times in our travel blogs. As a reminder, Harvest Hosts is a membership organization that provides access to businesses that allow one overnight stay in their parking lots, so long as you frequent the business. We typically use Harvest Hosts for heavy travel days, which are days when we need to…
