ATWEBS So, the first thing we wanted to do after completing repairs on the trailer was the Stetson Factory Outlet. It was a pretty large store with oodles of great hats, from beautiful felt hats to straw hats and everything in between. Yep, a Father’s Day Gift followed us home. Then it was off to Tour … Read more
The road from Missouri to Nebraska is fairly flat, we are following the Oregon Trail as closely as we can but sparing ourselves the long walk, diseases and accidents that happened along the way for the Pioneers. Today (June 15th) we stopped by the Homestead National Monument of America while enroute to the Double Nickle … Read more
So, we start our journey in St. Joseph which was an altenate starting point for man of the wagon trains that ventured across the prairie. Of course, today we are dealing with little things. Washing machines were all in use at the camp facilities, so I did a small amount of wash by hand. It’s … Read more
Today was more driving from North Platte, Nebraska to Mayville, Missouri. Our suprise there was we also drove for a few minutes through Iowa. The landscape changed from mountains and hills to something much greener and flatter. The weather was cloudy but no rain and not particularly cool. Tomorrow the adventure starts with far more … Read more
So, today’s adventure was much the same as yesterday’s, lots of driving and quite a bit of flat land. We did drive through Laramie, Wyoming and caught a glimpse of the Wyotech sign. I imagine that has changed quite a bit in the last 20 years. Stopped by a lovely rest stop on a hill…not … Read more

BRN at the ready. So, what is a BRN? A Big Red Number proudly displayed either front or back (or both!) of Airstream Club International Members. It identies us on the road and makes it easy to find the right Airstream when we gather together, because these trailers all look pretty much the same. And … Read more
So, today we are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Yeah, we changed a bit from that picture. More gray hair (and a bit more of us as well)! After much consideration about what wonderful thing we wanted to do, we wanted to go on this Caravan! So, that is a big part of it. But … Read more
So much to do before we can hit the road in a little over a week. We’ve finally settled on how our cat Rella will get cared for and who will be her guardian. She doesn’t like to travel and will stay behind, but she also doesn’t like being left alone. So we fully expect … Read more
