First, a little background. I like many different kinds of music. But when I was growing up in the 80s, my favorite bands were Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and a variety of hair metal bands like Metallica and even that silly guilty pleasure...

Springtime is upon us, and that means several things. Pollen? Check. We’ve been sneezing at least fifteen times an hour. Airstream cleaning? Check. We recently pressure washed the old gal. She’s now shining in the sun like a gigantic loaf of silver sour...

As of this writing, we’ve taken our Airstream into all of the lower 48 States. We’ve camped just about everywhere between Mexico and Canada that we could squeeze our rig. We’ve inexplicably bypassed a few destinations along the way (why on earth did...

We’re currently on a walkabout in Europe, after completing a transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2. We have visited England, Greece, & Turkey on this trip. Next week we head home, again on the big ship. Here are a few pics from the Eastbound crossing....

Devil’s Tower is a national monument located in the northeastern corner of Wyoming. It’s one of those road trip icons of the all-natural variety. If you are driving into the state from South Dakota (say, from visits to Wall Drug and Mt. Rushmore) it...
