Rural Rootz, a Harvest Hosts location between Wiarton and Oliphant in Ontario, is a magical place. You may stumble upon dragon eggs, forest fairies, and wonderful people with big hearts and gentle ways. It was a delightful surprise encounter at the end of a scenic and wet trip to the Bruce Peninsula.
Texas was just down the road from our last campsite. We decided to head south before finally heading north towards home. The weather in the mid and northern states was much colder than usual and Texas was our last hope of getting bit of warmth and sunshine. We drove though El Paso and just stopped for … Continue reading Desert Hopping – Sonora to Chihuahua
There are limitations to travelling with dogs, but to us, the biggest of them all is not being able to take our dog on a hike with us.

It's a bit strange to go to a park that would have been tent-camping territory for decades. Do we really need the campervan for this kind of a trip? Probably … Continue reading Mini Escape to Sturgeon Bay
The following Friday rolls around and we are on our way across the border to New York State. A cousins' reunion near Albany is the perfect excuse to get on the road and squeeze in a mini-adventure. We want to use the campervan as much as we can before taking it on a longer trip … Continue reading Around the Lake
