Xplor-Inn
With Beth, Mark, Devon & Daedez
Welcome Home
The world has become a far different place than it was last October when I set out to create this blog. OTOH, Mark and I have finally acquired the trailer of our dreams and are embarking on long awaited adventures. We hope you will ride along as we sally forth.

Reorganizing
With a little help from the “Happiness Engineers” at wordpress.com, some You Tube tutorials, and additional assistance from my resident IT guy; I’m attempting to back up and revamp Xplor-Inn to be more than just a travel blog. While I hope to continue documenting our trips, I also want to make room for some not-necessarily-travel-related essays and creative writing. I am also adding a lot of the pictures we took, as promised. Thank you for your patience.

GOLDEN HILL NYS PARK, MAY 2021
Friday, May 14, 2021 Not exactly sure when we left the house the first time, but backing out went a lot smoother than it did on our last trip. Rather than right or left, which are subject to confusion between his, mine, the van’s…
MATAWAN, NJ TRIP; APRIL 2021
APRIL 7 TO 11TH Seems like ages since our last trip. We winterized the INN and parked it at Katja and Grendel’s house back in November. Now, with less than a week to go before full immunity kicks in, thanks to our 2nd Covid…
Matawan NJ Trip
10/16/2020 TO 10/31/2020 FRIDAY, October 16, 2020 Having just gotten home from Clear Creek on 10/10, we had eye appts on the 13th. Mark’s eyes are fine, mine will need cataract surgery in the near future. At that point, we had nearly convinced ourselves…
CLEAR CREEK PA STATE PARK TRIP 10-05 to 10-2020
Monday, October 5th Up this am around 07:45, after a restless night. Dreams were not as distressing as those the night before. I showered. Put my hair up in a bungie and dressed in layers. It was cool but not cold out. We finished…
