The world has become a far different place than it was in October 2019, when I set out to create this blog. OTOH, Mark and I have acquired the trailer of our dreams and are embarking on long awaited adventures. We hope you will ride along as we sally forth. At the same time, Xplor-Inn has grown to be more than just a travel blog. While I intend to continue documenting our trips, I also want to share some not-so-travel-related writing during the times COVID or winter weather confines us. I am also adding more pictures and poetry. Eventually, I hope to reorganize the non-travel prose and poetry under The Wordsmith’s Forge. Thank you for your patience as I continue to temper my words into new shapes!

I have been wrestling with various e-publishing companies and software for months now and have finally decided to give up. I have two new collections of poetry that I want to share. I do not want to jump through Kindle, Amazon, Barnes and Noble,…
(Not a dream, though I didn’t write it down until this morning.)
Mark and I sat down with our calendars last night and filled in all the dates we have plans for this summer. Holy Bovine, Batman! Between the SCA holding ‘in person’ events again, camping, appointments, and family get togethers there aren’t many days left…
TUESDAY, 04-19-2022 11/:50 am– On the road only ½ an hour later than hoped/expected, the reason being something odd going on with the electrical system between the battery bank and the trailer. Went to pull in the slider and nothing happened. Mark had to…
