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.

The Voyage of the Tramper 
Wow, I lust for those wide-open places. If you’ll be anywhere near the middle of Iowa on the second weekend in August, I’ll look for you at the 121rst Annual Britt Iowa Hobo Convention ! Look for a red Honda Pacific Coast motorcycle with a Maryland tag and a Tourist Union 63 bumper sticker. I’ll have a tent nearby.
