RoadTrek to Indianapolis
Indianapolis, IN would not be a city that would come to my mind right away as a place that I desperately wanted to go explore. However, as with all of our travels, it is always about the journey and the surprising things we encounter and discover along the way. We had a show to do…

The RoadTrek to Key West
Key West, Florida is one place that is very special to Scott and me. We have been there several times and, for us, it just feels so natural and like a second home. In June of 2000, we drove our RoadTrek Van to Key West and, I believe, it was the first time either of…

Visiting Cape Hatteras in It’s New Location
We love lighthouses! One of our favorites, of course, is the granddaddy of them all, Cape Hatteras. While we have visited this particular lighthouse many times, on this occasion, we were happy to see that it had been successfully moved to it’s new location. In 1999, the 4800 ton structure had been moved inland 2900…

Great Lakes Camping in the RoadTrek Van

Getting Work Ready with the RoadTrek
Way back in the year 2000, Pieces of the Past was going full tilt and we had many orders to fill. We also had shows to prepare for, so work was non-stop. At the time, we created, manufactured, and sold our own patented products, including: The Quilt Hanger, The Quilt Lap Hoop, and Stick-n-Stitch Quilting…

Roadtrek Poplar 190
It was about this time of year, 3/15/1999 to be exact, that we bought our first recreational vehicle together. I had owned a pop-up camper before we were married and, also, enjoyed many years doing van camping with my parents on various vacations, so this van experience was quite natural for me. Since we had…

Visiting Cayman Brac in the Grand Caymans
We have been traveling in one way or another since the day we met. Our first adventures were in a Honda Civic, way back in the early 1990’s where we packed up a tent and all the necessary paraphernalia to leave home base for a week at a time. We even wired up a VCR…
