Time Period: June 30 — July 29 Miles Driven: 1904 We had no plans for how to spend the summer. We had toyed with the idea of finding a nice campground in the Smokey Mountains and parking for several weeks to catch up on some work projects. We had toyed with ducking into Canada and […]

Video Edition: National Portrait Gallery
Just off the mall in Washington DC is the National Portrait Gallery, housed with the American Art Museum, in the newly renovated former US patent office. Like all of the Smithsonian museums around DC, this one holds more amazing art and stuff to look at than you can possibly absorb in just one visit. The […]
Video Edition: Comcast’s Largest Television Screen
The Comcast Center is Philadelphia’s newest and tallest skyscraper, and within it sits a very impressive 83′ x 25′ (that’s feet.. not inches) television screen. It’s claimed to be the world’s largest TV, and it’s free to visit in the lobby of the Comcast Center – open day and night. When we first got off […]
Campground Review: Columbus Belmont State Park, Kentucky
Working our way down the Mississippi from St. Louis towards Tennessee, we were hoping to find a scenic spot along the river to stop for two nights. We struck gold when we stumbled into Kentucky’s Columbus Belmont State Park just before sunset. The view looking west from high up on the bluffs overlooking Mississippi River […]

Campground Review: Meriwether Lewis Park (near Hohenwald, TN)
We journeyed to Hohenwald Tennessee in May to visit the Oliver Factory to handle a few issues with our trailer. Afterwards, we wanted to find a nice place to camp where we could put down roots for an entire week to get caught up on projects and just spend some time enjoying being at home. […]
Video Edition: Hot Springs National Park
I love when nomadic serendipity takes us to experiences that we couldn’t even imagine a day prior. While driving northward towards St. Louis, we decided to route through Arkansas up scenic byway 7. This put us overnighting around Hot Springs, Arkansas. We looked around, and discovered there was a national park and campground, so that […]
Video Edition: Dell Diamond
We got an e-mail from Bill Bivin, one of the moderators from Dell over at Digital Nomads, asking us if we would be interested in submitting a guest post about our Camp Nomadia theme camp at Burning Man. As we also happened to be in Austin at the time, we made arrangements to meet up. […]
