Signs along the way…
During our travels we’ve come across quite a few street and traffic signs that we don’t see at home in southeastern Pennsylvania. We’ve had fun taking these photos and assembling them here for you to see. We’ll keep adding to this post as we encounter new, interesting and unusual signs. Animals Trains and trolleys Amusing…

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…

79 Nights, 16 States, 8,293 Miles

What an absolute joy to be unmoored for 10 weeks, not being constrained by time, and free to stop and explore together. This year, we took our time traveling between campgrounds (unlike last year when we…

Lest We Forget…Oklahoma City, Fort Smith, and Little Rock
On our way back east, we visited several sites that were thought provoking and inspired us to reflect on how far we’ve come as a country, and how far we still need to go. Very moving are a field of 168 empty chairs on the grounds where the Federal Building once stood, and the large…

Takin’ It Easy in Winslow, AZ
It’s rare to find a town steeped in history AND iconic Americana kitsch. Winslow, Arizona has an active Amtrak railroad station, an historic Santa Fe Railroad hotel, a former trading post building, a Standin’ on the Corner Park—and Route 66 runs right through the center of it all. We trust that many of you will…
