Day #1 of Our Epic Trip

11-2-2023
Airstream Factory Terraport, Jackson Center, OH

We have been in Michigan staying in our camper at Kristin’s parent’s property (Thanks George and Linda!). It was great to just relax for a while out in the country and have “coffee time” with Kristin’s parents every morning. There is a state park nearby with trail access right across the street from their house which we also enjoyed.

It snowed a couple days ago so it is definitely time to go south. We are so excited to finally be on the road and starting Our Epic Trip. It took a lot of work to get here: retiring from our jobs, selling our house, and the hardest of all – deciding what to take on our trip while being mindful of weight limitations.

So here we are, ready to hit the road. First stop? The dump station at the nearby state park. It’s one of the realities of living in a camper.

We stopped several times to charge the car and ended up in the middle of Ohio. We used iOverlander to look for places to stay. We stayed at an Airstream Factory Terraport in Jackson Center, Ohio. It’s full hook-up and cost $10 per night. We experienced a beautiful sunset during dinner. The small campground was quiet all night.
