Sound like it was a great trip!

As for the urban camping it was the late 80's early 90's so it was a lot simplier then for pulling off that adventure.

Sailing eh? I would love to give that a go. Not in the best place for it on the border of VA and WV. But we have great mountains and moonshine!

The other adventure I want to give a go before I'm too old is a tear drop trailer and hit all 50 states. Low dough, LP tank stove and hit the grocery stores. Planet Fitness membership to get showers and just roll for year. Spend a season in Slab City. Go live on a Res in the Dakotas (I have enough Native to qualify). Hang out w/ the Cajuns for a spell. Just soak in all that this country has to offer :)

    It was our honeymoon trip, so we crammed in a lot of adventures to remember!

    I enjoyed being a kid in the 80s/90s. Being a kid seems rough nowadays.

    We had the sailing lesson at the widest part of the Hudson River, by the Tappan Zee Bridge. It's about 3 miles across I think he said. Having a place to do it was one of the things that delayed trying it for me for so long too. I hear WV has great whitewater, and we've taken a trip along the mountains in VA stopping at all the caves. Natural Bridge gave us their old hours on the phone, so when we showed up, they apologized and gave us a private tour of the cave since they did tell us they would be open when we were arriving.

    Your camper trip sounds quite epic! I'd love to see you do it!
