The fire is going.
Trail Tater is our rolling campfire: a place for campground stories, family adventures, hidden history, old cemeteries, amateur radio and the friends we meet along the road.

Around the Campfire
Followers are fine.
We would rather make friends.
This is not a polished travel brochure. It is the real story of the places we camp, the history we stumble into, the things that go sideways, and the people who make the trip worth remembering.
Some pages begin with a beautiful sunrise. Others begin with a missing tent pole. Either way, there is usually a story worth telling.

Artillery Ridge became more than a campsite. It was our basecamp for battlefield history, family time, cemetery walks, campfire movie night, sunrise photographs and one collection of wonderfully odd local sodas.
