Silver in The Streets, Saturday
May 18, 2024 Saturday’s highlight is the Farmer’s Market, which is conveniently at the end of our street. Starting at 8:00 gave us time to have coffee and sweet rolls as well as cleaning up our trailers. As a good will gesture, people can go into our trailers and check them out like an open…

Silver in The Streets, Friday
Friday, May 17, 2024 The weather forecast for our stay in Abingdon wasn’t good, but it kept changing. It’s a tradition to gather around the coffee pot and sweet rolls in the morning. I asked Jeff about the hike to “The Devil’s Bathtub”. He said it was an hour drive, a two-mile hike out and…

Silver in The Streets, Abingdon, Virginia
Thursday, May 16. 2024 This is the fourth year we have held this Airstream Rally in Abingdon. The concept of Silver in The Streets is one mutually beneficial to Airstreamers and to the town. Abingdon closes down Remsburg Drive for us, and we parked 14 Airstreams on it. This little town has it all; history,…

Ocracoke Island Thursday
May 2, 2024 Our wonderful pattern starts with a lazy morning. We have just enough cellular to use a slow internet and find out what is going on in the world, check emails and the weather. There is a big cell tower just this side of the village, but we are 3 miles away. At 10:00…

Ocracoke Island Wednesday
May1, 2024 The mission today was to explore all the pullouts north of the campground. First stop was the Pony Pen, where “Banker Ponies” (ponies of the Outer Banks) are kept. They ran free from the 1700’s until 1959 when traffic became heavier. Across the road, we walked up a boardwalk to the top of…

Ocracoke Island Tuesday
April 30, 2024 We had a relaxing morning before going to explore the beach. The wind was still blowing about 17mph, but it was warming up from the 64 degrees we woke up to. We walked out the back of our campsite and climbed the steep dune for a view of the campground and a…

April 28, 2024 We are scheduled to stay on Ocracoke Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a week. We have never been and are looking forward to it. It is a tiny spit of land separated from the mainland by Pamlico Sound. It is 16 miles long and maybe a quarter mile…

Costa Rica April 6
It was sad to see the McGlumphy family packing up. It has been another great trip with this group, but we had a little time to sit around and enjoy this great spot. As the McGlumphy family loaded their suitcases into the van, we exchanged hugs, sad to be parting. We then straightened up the…

Costa Rica, April 5
I woke up early, fixed a cup of coffee, slid the balcony door open and sat outside soaking in the wonderful view. As the sun began to lighten the sky, there were frightening cries of some primeval monsters calling to each other in the dense jungle below. Then I remember Rooster telling us about how…

Costa Rica, April 4
Costa Rica is a mountainous country at the tail end of the Rockies, so travel is seldom in a straight line, yet we covered a lot of ground in a short time. I walked around the grounds before breakfast, and it is truly a wondrous spot. At 8:30 we had a Manuel Antonio National Park…
