2018 Quaint little alleyway between shops in Blowing Rock, NC. When we travel we like to find towns that are unusual. Blowing Rock is very pretty and full of neat shops and restaurants on its Main Street. Strolling along a path such as this creates a sense of stepping back in time and to a place of peace…
Off again
6/12023 Bertha has had more body (engine) work than Cardi B. Plus, there are four new dualie tires. Every year, Jim puts in a lot of work on both Betty and Bertha (camper and truck) to make sure they are prepared for our long trips. Jim is meticulous and thorough with his repairs. Knowing your…

I try to journal for each trip, writing down the weather, name of campground (even if it’s a Walmart), things we did, saw, and…
We’re Off…….
