There is just no way we would have headed south from Ohio this year without making a repeat stop at the Cumberland Valley Plateau Campground in central Tennessee (TCPC). I wrote about this place something like four separate times during our one-week stay last year, so I’ll try to keep this one short. It’s hard […]

Friendship, Community, and Airstream Obsession
For this final post about the Airstream-only campground we’ve been visiting for the last ten days in Tennessee, I was going to structure my notes around the core characteristics of friendships according to psychologists (that I’d hastily googled). That’s because we’d hung out with our hosts Sherri and Mooch several times since we first met […]
