About Us
Welcome to our blog!
David and Jane set out from Baltimore on May 18, 2025 for another big travel. This time, our “big” rig, The Tramper, is in temporary repose in West Virginia. Instead we’re in a 2010 Honda Odyssey, fitted out with a bed and lots of camping supplies. The Odessey, named Helen, is more nimble, frugal and stealthy than The Tramper. All good for a shorter trip.
In September 2012, David and Jane quit their jobs and traveled the country in their 1957 Yellowstone trailer, mountain biking, hiking, paddling, skiing and learning along the way. We carved out a 6 month sabbatical! It was AWESOME! Now, we’re back home and still blogging about the impact of our fabulous trip. And random stuff…

The Voyage of the Tramper 
Ditto to you two! In spirit, Christmas never changes. Enjoy.
Thanks Jill. We sure do love riding and awaking in odd new places. Takes a bit to find what to like. We met a guy mountain biking in the desert who was from New Hampshire in our treasured Northeast. He said, when people here complain about how hard the riding is, I tell them they should come to the Northeast if you really want tough biking!
