2024 Misc So I’ll lump these under “Airstream Adventures” but sometimes we do other fun stuff as well. So this is just a quick synopsis- it’s just as much so we can remember as it is for anyone who might read our blog! June – Sawtooth Mountains, Idaho Melinda almost always has a separate trip […]

July 2024 Since we’ve apparently decided we are in fact, rally people, we decided to expand to a different kind of rally. We really like the smaller, off beat rallies and found a combination balloon and Airstream rally in Lexington, VA. When we were kids our small town had the second largest balloon rally in

May 2024 – Hungry Mother State Park, Marion VA Generally when we make our travel plans, we (mostly) share in the planning chores. I will admit that Melinda does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to making reservations- she’s a naturally organized person that way, much like I am naturally good at

April 2024 A mere two weeks ago we were in York SC for Silver in the City, and now we’re back on the rally trail to Tryon, NC for the bi-yearly Trot Into Tryon… I guess we really do rallies now! But this is a very small rally- only about 21 rigs can be parked

April 2024 Now that we’ve attended three other Silver in the City events, one Alumilina Rally and we have another urban rally planned, we’ve given up the idea that we aren’t rally people- so with great enthusiasm we spent 17 hours on a “light” polish of Tess and prepared for our 4th Silver In The

February 2024 After a month long trip to Patagonia (which you can read about here), the holidays and just life in general we are happy to get out on our first Airstream Adventure of 2024! We try to get away for a few days around my birthday- I’m not much of one for birthday celebration,

September 2023 Our big trip to Patagonia is approaching fast, but we want to get one more camping adventure in before we go. Luckily some of our Airstream friends- the ones with the shiny Caravel- invite us to a party at their house down in Georgia. So we made reservations at Shady Grove Campground– a

July 2023 Summer in the south is hot, but luckily it’s a muggy, damp and sultry heat. In need of a respite we headed up to the mountains of Tennessee, to Roan Mountain State Park, where the air was crisp and cool. We’d both been hiking on Roan, but had never camped there. It’s a

April 2023 Ok, considering we still don’t think of ourselves as rally people, we do LOVE going to Silver in the City! We are now familar with how everything works- if you want to be on the street, you’ve got to be at the staging area early on Thursday. So we got there even earlier

April 2023 Seeing Le Mis was on Melinda’s to do list- not really a bucket list item, but something she wanted to experience. When the tour came through our area it was obvious that the time was right- and it was only 75 miles away, so it would be a nice evening out, a date
