Travel, on and off-road.
We did quite a bit of exploring today. We left our campground at Blackwater Falls State Park and headed on down towards our campground at Spruce Knob Lake. It didn't seem very far from Blackwater Falls, and it wasn't really. But what surprised us was that the road to the actual campground was a dirt …
Y'all. I don’t even know where to start. When I was typing last night about us being alone in the Monongahela, I was sort of excited about it. Like, living in Greenville we are always, ALWAYS, near other people. So being alone, truly alone, without another soul around for a literal mile, is glorious. But, …
WE SAW A BEAR, YOU GUYS! We got started a little earlier this morning and left our campsite by 7:00 AM. We hadn’t gotten maybe 10 mins down the road before we came along a pretty small bear on the side of the road munching on some greens. He checked us out for a …
We were up fairly early this morning to set out on a three-hour drive to the skyline drive in Shenandoah. The drive in from Ohiopyle was fairly easy and we were on the Skyline drive by noon or so. Will and I have just about driven the entire length of the Blueridge Parkway in NC …
We’re back at the campground early this afternoon. It’s almost four but we’ve been here since 2 or so. The power is still out from the storms yesterday but it’s a very sunny day, so the teardrop is getting a great solar charge. This is our solar set up that we got from Zamp Solar …
Today was another beautiful day even if the morning did start out rainy. We had planned to get up and cook breakfast and take our time since we were only about 15 mins from Antietam and the park didn’t open until 9, but the rain put a bit of a damper on that. Instead, we …
We were up early again today. I think we’ve just gotten so used to being up and driving by 7:00 every day that that’s just what we do. By the time we had gotten ready for the day, cooked, eaten, and cleaned up breakfast, and packed everything away to get back on the road, our …

We left our campsite at Pine Grove Furnace State Park sort of early this morning so that we could get to our campsite at Greenbrier State Park in MD fairly early to drop the teardrop before heading to Harper’s Ferry. We were able to get to Greenbrier by 11:00 or so and were at Harper’s …
On to Gettysburg today, about a 40-minute drive from our campsite, which really isn’t too terrible when we’re not pulling the teardrop and can zip around everywhere. After finishing our driving tour of Gettysburg, we’re both not quite so sure that we enjoyed it all that much. We were both looking forward to it as …
Our original plans for this trip included doing Brandywine and Valley Forge in a single day, but of course, that just wasn’t possible. So instead, we woke up early this morning to do Brandywine before heading on to our next campground at Pine Grove Furnace State Park. After two days of dreary, cold, rainy weather, …
