I like driving Route 13 up the eastern seashore. The road is smooth, level, and lightly trafficked. All through the tow the Nissan hummed steadily as it tugged the Airstream through quiet green countryside . . .

I have this strange feeling of turning a corner today. It started when I woke up and realized that I no longer had a sore throat, and the sensation of having been pummeled by a samurai in the recent past . . .

We’ve been pondering the choices ahead, and have made some decisions. Mostly, we’ve decided that the opportunity to go explore a bunch of the country’s best national parks in late August . . .

Leaving the Grand Canyon’s north rim to Page AZ is one of those spectacular roadtrips that can only be found in Arizona or Utah. From Grand Canyon you cruise along Rt 67 to Jacob Lake, a small . . .

This time of year, even in the southwest, our major challenge is nighttime cold and early sunset. The short days mean that we need to plan carefully to get our driving done by 5 p.m., and at night the . . .

He’s big, he’s bad, he’s … oh wait, he’s a myth. It says so inside the restaurant. There’s no such thing as a mad Greek, according to signs, which also bust . . .

It’s always hard when I have to be dropped at the airport early in the morning. The whole family has to get up in the dark with me. This morning Emma was a sport about . . .

All is well. I am mumbling that to myself because my second day back on the road (since we became temporarily housebound) has been very funky.
Last night we pulled into an RV park in Tempe and visited . . .

I have discovered that Quartzsite has its own pace, and it is slow. People drive slowly. They walk slowly. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, because they savor what there is to see. But I have . . .

In my quest to find the lesser-known Quartzsite, I have been picking the brains of people who have been coming here for years.
One person told me of “Patton’s tanks”. . . .

I busted out yesterday, with a big roadtrip to Las Vegas. I need to meet some folks here and there, so I put together a trip which will keep me out and about through Monday.

Our departure from Tucson was dramatic. We cleared the driveway and street in front of our house of all vehicles except the two Airstreams, then parked Adam & Susan’s motorhome to . . .

In the history of our travels, today will be recorded as one of those days that hopefully makes us stronger. Adversity is good for that, if nothing else.
When planning the return trip, I carefully . . .

Cedar Island NC is just 50 miles from where we narrowly avoided tornadoes last night. We crossed lots of little bridges from one shallow island to another, and eleven miles of salt marsh, to arrive at . . .

We set the alarm for 6 a.m. so we’d be ready to get on the 7:00 a.m. ferry if it were running. I was thinking this was a waste of a perfectly good opportunity to sleep in, since the forecast was . . .

Our next scheduled appointment is the Tuesday after Memorial Day, at Colonial Airstream in New Jersey. The plan is to stop there for a few days to get some service done, so if anyone wants to drop by, . . .

Last night was possibly the noisiest night we've spent in the Airstream. After a 400 mile drive (way over budget, but we're trying to make up for leaving Jackson Center late), we pulled into a . . .
