I wasn’t going to do a year-in-review post this year, because no one ever reads these posts. Well, besides me. I suffer from a medical malady called CRS, so these posts do a yeoman’s job of summarizing our debacles during the previous twelve months. My guess is we stuck our toes in about 25-30 states… Read More 2025 in Review – Dec 2025
This post is about the GFCI electrical circuit in our 2019 Airstream Classic 30 RBT, which I have had many (zero) requests to write about. Before reading further, let me make clear that I have no technical knowledge, nor am I an electrician. If I was, we would have far more money than we do.… Read More Airstream GFCI Circuit – Dec 2025
Once again, Karen’s poor behavior has caused us to get thrown out of yet another perfectly good campground. So, we hit the road and got halfway between LA and Las Vegas where we stopped for the night in the gravel parking lot of Peggy Sue’s Diner. Nothing is too good for my bride – what… Read More Southern California – Nov 2025
You’re probably thinking Ace Ventura. Not so fast, Rubberneck. We’re talking Ventura, California, north of LA and south of Santa Barbara on the Pacific coast. Ventura turns out to be a most awesome place, and in particular our campground, the Waypoint Ventura Vintage Trailer Hotel and Campground. Talk about nice weather! You could train a… Read More Cute Puppy, Ventura – Nov 2025
Because we had never been there but had heard great comments, on route to our next planned destination, we stopped to just drive through Valley of Fire State Park. This is a stunning state park, and we are so glad we did. When we entered the park, we explained to the ranger that we were… Read More Valley of Fire State Park – Oct 2025
Keeping the Utah theme going, we spent a few days at Snow Canyon State Park in Ivins, UT, near St. George. As you might expect from its location in southwest Utah, the views are fabulous – petrified dunes, lava flows, and sandstone peaks and walls. Aside from being in the general Zion area, it is… Read More Snow Canyon State Park – Oct 2025
I say Utah (like we’re reporting on the whole state), but really, we are talking about the southeast corner of the state in San Juan County, which is less than 10% of the Utah land mass (I looked it up). We could probably fit most of New England into Utah, size-wise. And truth be told,… Read More Utah – Oct 2025
We departed Denver heading west to the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. While we generally try to avoid interstate travel, I-70 west of Denver to Grand Junction has got to be one of the prettiest sections of interstate highways in the country. Heading into the foothills past Golden, Evergreen, and Idaho Springs… Read More Western Slope – Oct 2025
We made an encore return to Denver, primarily to visit Child Units 2A and 2B; always a great time. We explained to them long ago they can run but they can’t hide. Our time included laughing, eating, golf, Monopoly Deal, and just a whole lot of fun. The weather was primo, other than one day… Read More Denver – Oct 2025
Heading west again. Truth is, when you live in New Hampshire, it’s hard to go east. Alas, we are making our way out west for several activities over the next few months that should be awesome. At the time of this writing, the government has not closed, and hopefully it won’t, but we will deal… Read More Heading West – Sept 2025
Two years ago, we camped at the Champlain Resort Adult Campground (previous post) along the shores of Lake Champlain in South Hero, north of Burlington, VT, so I’ll try not to rehash old territory too much. Suffice it to say that the reason we came back is because it is such an awesome place. The… Read More South Hero Island – Sept 2025
It’s been a few months since we were on the road, and waking up in our trailer is always awesome. In the hazy mist of dreams our first night, for some reason I was thinking of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. What do you mean I’m funny. Funny how? I mean, like a clown? I amuse… Read More Franconia Notch – Sept 2025
It’s been a minute since our last post, but on a recent trip to see friends in Ohio we stopped at Letchworth State Park in New York on our return trip home, and wow, what a find! Like all state parks, this 14,000-acre park, located east of Buffalo, south of Rochester, and a bit west… Read More Letchworth State Park – June 2025
As our last, full-on camping destination, we camped at Catalina State Park, a little bit north and east of downtown Tucson in Oro Valley. This is a fabulous campground, on the foothills of the 9,000+ foot Santa Catalina Mountains (altitude at the campsite is about 2,600 feet), with tons of hiking and biking trails available,… Read More Tucson (Catalina SP) – Jan 2025
Tucson is such a beautiful place – a desert city surrounded by mountains that erupt to thousands of feet above the desert floor. What you miss in photographs is the fact that in almost any direction you turn your head, you are exposed to deep blue skies, gorgeous desert views, and staggeringly beautiful mountains. Tucson… Read More Tucson (Gilbert Ray Campground) – Jan 2025
While in the general Phoenix area we spent a few nights at Cave Creek Regional Park in Cave Creek, AZ. I’ll get to our camping experience but first a couple of observations about greater Phoenix drivers. There’s about a 5:1 ratio of signage protecting animals over pedestrians and cyclists. If you are a pedestrian and… Read More Cave Creek Regional Campground – Jan 2025
One of the beauties of McDowell Mountain Regional Park, located in northern Maricopa Count in Fountain Hills, AZ is that you are surrounded by beauty and quiet, and yet you are a short drive from a host of interesting things to do in the general Phoenix/Scottsdale area. We have stayed here multiple times over the… Read More McDowell Regional Park – Jan 2025
We are poking around Arizona for a few weeks and have started at one of our “tried and true” campgrounds – Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, AZ. Leaving New Mexico, we headed down blue highways, and along the way encountered Thomasz Sobania, from Poland, who is running across the US (3,300 miles), east… Read More On the Road to Lost Dutchman – Jan 2025
Not School of Rock. City of Rocks, in Faywood, NM. What? You don’t know where Faywood is? Neither did we. But, located in Faywood is City of Rocks State Park, and this you don’t want to miss. I don’t know if this post will resonate with anyone else, but this campground was right in our… Read More City of Rocks – Jan 2025
We have traveled to and through New Mexico many times, but we found two new (to us) places on this trip, this story being about Deming, NM at the Rockhound State Park, on the lower sides of the Little Florida Mountains. We left our sweet campsite in Terlingua behind us, and trekked to Rockhound State… Read More Deming, NM – Jan 2025
We made a 2-night stop in San Antonio for the main purpose of riding our bikes on the Riverwalk Hike and Bike Trail. Plus, San Antonio is kind of a cool town. If you have ever traveled to San Antonio, either for work or pleasure, you are most likely familiar with the Alamo and the… Read More San Antonio – Dec 2024
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. These words from the iconic poem, The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost, capture much of the nature of… Read More The Road Not Taken – Dec 2024
As has been tradition (we are not ones to hold with tradition), once again we post a summary of our past summer. Now keep in mind that this is less about informing you as it is in reminding ourselves what we have been up to. Maybe I should do a post on where I left… Read More Summer of ’24 – Sept 2024
If you don’t have an Alde (pronounced Alduh) system, then you will find this post boring and irrelevant, much like those folks who do have an Alde system. The audience for this post? Those three people worldwide who actually know less than I do about the Alde Compact 3020 RV Furnace system. For those owners… Read More Alde Compact 3020 RV Furnace – May 2024
As happens every year at this time, I sit down to recap the year, and I think to myself, what the hell did we do? If this didn’t happen to me every year, I might think I was losing my mind. It could be the horse is already out of the barn. Karen had her… Read More 2023 in Review – Dec 2023
We have been camped for the past week at the Champlain Resort Adult Campground in Grand Isle, VT. I know this is probably a layup to make jokes about staying at an “adult” campground. You’re probably asking yourself a) what kind of activities go on there, and b) how did we qualify to get into… Read More South Hero Island – Sept 2023
September is the quintessential month for camping. Is it because the air is dry, the temperatures are cool, and the leaves are starting to turn? No. It’s because young families are home buying school supplies, taking kids to soccer, and fighting virulent diseases in daycare centers. That leaves us old, cranky misanthropes to scour the… Read More White Mountains of NH – Sept 2023
For the three of you who read this blog, I’ll bet you’ve missed us! Wait, you haven’t? I know it has been a while since we last communicated with you, but it hasn’t been for a lack of love. I thought to myself… do we even have anything interesting to write about? And then I… Read More Summer of ’23 – Aug 2023
Another notch in the belt of spending our kids’ inheritance… we recently arrived for the coveted Airstream service appointment at the Airstream factory in Jackson Center, OH. I delight in explaining to people that over the years we have almost single handedly paid for their new manufacturing facilities. And as you might expect, this place… Read More Airstream Service – May 2023
I am kind of excited about a new feature on our web site – the Slowsky Map! At the top of the travelwiththeslowskys.com home page, you will find a button to click called Slowsky Map. The map is intended to provide an easy-to-use way for you to find our experiences (previous posts) geographically. If you… Read More New Blog Feature! – Apr 2023
