We routinely check the New York Times virus statistics for each spot we plan to move to (although the best indicator seems to be ICU beds). Still, per-capital cases give us an idea of how rampant the virus is in the county where we’re headed and how careful we need to be. I’ve read (like […]

Where to Next?
Now that we’ve accomplished all we’ve been needing to get done in Texas since we first started out—HURRAH!—what’s next? Well, we have about a month before we need to be in Florida for our appointment at the Tampa Airstream dealer where we hope they’ll fix the awning. (More on our Florida plans, below). I’d been […]
Come along for a Travel Day
Join me as we leave our two-night campsite at Bull Shoals Lake, Arkansas, and tow our home to our next stay for five nights at Nimrod Lake, also in Arkansas but a little south, on our way to Texas. Don’t be fooled by the three-hour driving time. Pack up Inside It’s about 9 am, and […]
Google Maps, Dumpsters, and Other Gripes
The park we’re staying in—for one night on our way through Iowa to Missouri—is beautiful, but we went on only one walk before a storm hit, and I left my phone in the trailer for it. The campground itself is horrendous: basically a gravel parking lot. So, no post for the mis-named Swan Lake State […]
Ignoring the 2-2-2 Rule
We’re in Minong, Wisconsin, where Tracy spent several summers as a kid because his grandparents lived here and ran the town grocery. He took me on a tour as we drove through, and I have to agree with his joke, “The town sure has gone to hell after my grandfather died.” To be fair, there […]
Time to Migrate South
Lake Superior is so alive and accessible and multifaceted. The NorthWoods are lush and cool. The culture is a type of weird I’ve never encountered. But it was 47 degrees this morning when I walked Banjo, so it’s time to go! Apple, My Overlord I’ve spent several hours every day sucking up our precious cell […]
Where Are We?
Until I can figure out how to get a real-time webmap on my homepage, I’ll update the tiny map to the right, under the recent posts (or if you’re on your phone it’s down at the very bottom) with a screenshot of the map I use. Click to enlarge!
Fluid Travel Plans
We haven’t moved yet and already we’ve changed travel plans several times. I hear from folks on the road that you have to find your own comfortable balance between set reservations and winging it, so we’re busy working on that from a stationary point. 🙂 Destination: Ohio Seriously, what’s got us flipping around our most-recent […]
We’re Busting Out of This Joint
We have plans to get on the road! They’re not immediate, and when we do go we’ll maintain social distancing (heck, no social at all if we can manage it while the virus is still raging), but we are ready to go. A note about the stay-at-home plan: I know that traveling has risks, that […]
We Have Travel Plans!
A friend pointed out that one thing making this quarantine difficult is that she doesn’t have any plans for the near future. It’s disconcerting enough that time is out of whack, but having nothing concrete to look forward to makes this even stranger. Our spring travel plans had been based on our house sale—it’s under […]
