Maine or Bust 2022: Too Close To Resist
We had one more day to explore western New York and, wanting to beat the crowds, Reg got me out of bed at 5:15 a.m. At such an early hour it felt like a long drive for a day trip, but our destination was too close to ignore. We were soon winding our way along…

Maine or Bust 2022: The Grand Canyon of the East
Letchworth State Park, the Grand Canyon of the East, covers over 14,000 beautifully forested acres that stretch roughly 17 miles along the Genesee River gorge in western New York state. The park campground was not yet open for the season, so we got an early start from our nearby KOA campground and spent one day…

Maine or Bust 2022: Into the Wild
We felt like our two nights at Trough Creek State Park in south central Pennsylvania took us into the wilds. With just an electric hookup, we got a little closer to our camping roots, toting in bottled water for drinking and needing to be mindful of not overfilling our gray- and black-water tanks. The park…

Maine or Bust 2022: Sometimes It’s A Bust
Shenandoah National Park offers over 500 miles of hiking trails through Virginia’s spectacular mountain scenery. We reserved four nights just outside the park in Luray at Spacious Skies RV Park, excited about three full days to explore the park. Our first day found us back on a section of the Appalachian Trail. We were curious…

For nearly 45 years Mount Vernon was home to George Washington, our country’s first president, and his wife Martha. The estate has been privately owned and operated by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association since 1858. It is open for…

Maine or Bust 2022: Riding High
The idea of converting miles of unused railroad lines into safe and scenic hiking/biking trails was pure genius. We rode a few last year as we traveled across country and back, enjoying the smooth paths free from traffic and cross streets. This year, again with trailer in tow, we hit the road in search of…

Maine or Bust 2022: Appalachian Trail Dream
A short drive to Virginia’s Grayson Highlands State Park allowed us a chance for a short hike with a link to one of the country’s most iconic national trails. The 2.3-mile Massie Gap and Wilburn Ridge loop trail overlaps a portion of the Appalachian Trail, the nearly 2,200-mile path that leads thru-hikers from Springer Mountain…

Maine or Bust 2022: The Virginias
Our perfect timing allowed us to spend Easter weekend with Chris and Gail in and around Charleston, West Virginia. We relaxed with dinner out Saturday night and spent Easter Sunday hanging around our campsite. After two games of croquet, where the guys fought for first place and Gail and I battled it out for last…

Maine or Bust 2022: Miles of Passageways
With over 365 miles of surveyed passageways, geologists think there could be 600 more miles yet to be charted throughout the cave that lies below Mammoth Cave National Park. Known as the longest cave system on earth, it has been explored off and on for the last 4,000 years. The national park offers a selection…
