More than miles on a map
Trail Tater is our rolling basecamp for campgrounds, family trips, hidden history, old cemeteries, amateur radio, genealogy, and whatever interesting back road happens to catch our attention.

Around the campfire
This will be the home for family memories, firehouse stories, woodworking, homemade instruments, songs that stop us mid-conversation, and the odd bit of wonderfully useless knowledge gathered along the way.
