The world wide epidemic of Covid-19 put a real crimp in several years of potential travel. We moved houses in 2019 (holidays were used to pack/move/unpack), Covid lockdown(s) wiped out 2020 and 2021. Cross border travel was still problematic in 2022. Jeeze!. We purchased a used Chrysler Town and Country in 2022 which we planned…

For our Fall 2018 Camping trip, we chose to take a lowland (alligator) tour of the South-East US. Peter and I picked up a van and packed all of our camping gear and headed south. We travelled by way of Pittsburgh and West Virginia, stopping overnight just short of the Shenandoah Valley. The next morning…

In June of 2018 we started a trip into Kentucky, Georgia and Tennessee. The theme was a combination of things: Caves, the Parthenon at Nashville, and Civil War Battlefields. We loaded up the van with our camping gear and headed off by way of the the ‘southern’ route to Dayton, OH. That morning, we dallied…

It’s been 16 years since I was last in the Colorado Plateau. Enough Waiting — time to return! This trip was planned as a quick (2 weeks and a bit) loop through the highlights of the Colorado Plateau. My Son has never been there nor has my partner in crime Cathy. My Son and I…

In the fall of 1995 I embarked with my companions on a road trip that was to include parts of the states of Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. Since we ended up going much faster than we originally thought (sometimes due to bad weather), we also included New Mexico, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia before it…

Following our first fully equipped road trip in the fall of 1992, and encouraged by our enjoyment of it, we planned a greater and longer trip. In the fall of 1993 my companions and I went on a road trip to see the West Coast of the US and then return home eastward along the…

Encouraged by our modest success during the fall on 1991, we decided that fun could be had by driving the Interstates, camping and visiting interesting places. We had purchased an Aerostar van and I built some shelves to fit behind the rear bench seats and cabinet to sit behind the front passenger seats (the middle…

This was the first of my road trips and while brief, it spawned all of the rest. I realised that you could see a heck of a lot of country and some very interesting locations by traveling in a car with camping equipment. Of course, the set up for this first trip was very primitive…
