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 
Was there but did not arrive until the water event and did not see this guy. Laura and I are possible entrants next year. All is on paper now but she really wants a piece of tech design and some horrible negotiations are in store.
That is amazing! Where do you find wheels that big?
The guy (or a friend of the guy) seems to have welded everything out of steel. Yes, even the wheels were steel with flattened rounded surfaces, they crushed every little thing in their path. Little stones, seeds, gravel, all clicked and snapped under the big rolling tricycle!
