I wrote about Piperbus briefly in a post earlier this week. Let me just say that I was throughly pleased with Tracy’s attention to my bus. After we did our interview, she said she would give Adie the once-over. She quickly caught a few problems, including a major oil leak. Within a few minutes, sheContinue reading “Piperbus Auto”

Connecticut: We’re cat people
We were really looking forward our romp across Connecticut and Rhode Island. Mostly, I was excited about the people we had met online and were then able to meet in real life. Miracle’s friend, Chuck, welcomed us into their home for dinner, which included clam pizza. If you haven’t tried it, don’t knock it. ThatContinue reading “Connecticut: We’re cat people”
Playlist: New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island
A three-fer here because we are whirlwinding our way across this portion of the US. Not because we don’t want to see what New England has to offer, but it is hot, my friends, and we want to head north—and fast. So here’s a spread of songs with the main dish being New York tunesContinue reading “Playlist: New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island”
Playlist: Pennsylvania
From the sylvan lands of William Penn, the home of our beloved Bus Depot, and the home to one of my favorite big cities, Pittsburgh, we have a short list of songs.

Helvetia, WV

Playlist: Maryland
Here we are in the craziest-shaped state and we’ve discovered that despite our pastoral stays, the cities define the music of the state.
Leaving Part 2: Norm, our man in the clutch
What sort of cocktail of emotions did I feel when—as we were already running two days late for our adventure of a lifetime and I had a multi-hundred dollar repair—what sort of feelings did I have as the clutch petal slammed to the floor? Rage, I am sure what a large portion. Utter despair. TheContinue reading “Leaving Part 2: Norm, our man in the clutch”
Leaving Part 1: Alternate Plans
We are leaving town on the 22nd, I told everyone. “Rubber on the road and heading toward Hocking Hills.” That was the plan. That was what I put on the itinerary I gave my family. That is what we told the good people of Helvetia, where we planned to stay on nights three and four. ItContinue reading “Leaving Part 1: Alternate Plans”
Playlist: Leaving Ohio
New feature on this blog! With each new state I visit, I will add to an ever-growing Spotify playlist that I have cleverly titled On the Road with Adie.
