Sometimes You Just Have to Look Down
I love wide open landscapes…sweeping vistas…big bold skies. Just look at most of my photographs if you doubt me. I’m always taken in by the grandeur before me. But, just like in life, you can’t always focus on the big picture.

Starry Starry Night
Dark, clear New Hampshire nights are a favorite time to gaze to the heavens and get lost in the vastness of the universe. Even here in the White Mountains there is too much light pollution to really make the Milky

Going With the Flow
Where does the time go? The past year has gone by faster than this river. We have spent the Summer here in the White Mountain area of New Hampshire. We decided to take a rest from the Red Road and

Walking On a Glacier: Hurry before it melts
Glaciers are slowly disappearing all over the world. Since we seem unable in the near term to address the warming trends that are causing this problem I figured I’d better take the opportunity to stand on one before they are

Stranded in Banff: Rain, Floods and Mudslides
We left the Crowsnest area of British Columbia and headed north along the west side of the Rockies, through Kootanay National Park and into Banff National Park. It was just more beautiful mountain scenery, although as we set up camp

Spelunking in Carlsbad Cavern, New Mexico
I tend to be slightly claustrophobic. I need to have a few feet of open space in front of my face, so small, tight spaces will usually produce minor panic attacks in me. I had no idea I was like

Northern Maine. It’s Not Bar Harbor, It’s Better
It’s just over two hours from our camp in Quebec to Jackman, Maine. Two hours but a world apart. Twenty miles over the border and we’ve traded French, urban, chic for North Woods back county. We arrived at our campground

Close Encounters of the Bear-able kind
New Hampshire has lots of wildlife. Most of the time they keep to themselves, hiding in the woods. If you get out early, or late at night you might run into them. Literally. Moose, in particular, can be found just

The Redneck Riviera
I was trying to remember the book I read that originally introduced me to the term the “Redneck Riviera” to describe the beach areas of Florida’s panhandle. It was a long time ago. I remember it was a detective series

O Canada, Home of the Freshest Lunch Ever
We have driven the RV on a lot of back roads (and many of the major highways) in the United States, but at this point we had yet to venture into Canada. Leaving our shabby fishing camp in Baudette, Minnasota

Oh Well, Roll with the Punches
Hubby was born a fisherman. No one in his family fished, but from his earliest days it’s all he ever wanted to do. Maybe it’s that Manzanita Indian blood that courses through his veins, maybe it’s genetic. Who knows why

Lobstah Dinners and Other Summer Fun
There is nothing like New England seafood. Haddock, steamers, scallops and lobster have become a staple of our New Hampshire diet. As soon as we get down to Portland we’ll add fresh swordfish to that list. (for some reason we

Not Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
Looking up at Frankenstein Cliff towering 1000 feet above us thoughts of Mary Shelley came to mind. The scarred face of the granite wall, the block shape, all reminiscent of the monster’s forehead. I could see where it got its

Catch of the Day, Broad Bay, New Hampshire
Not a photo catch, well, yes that too. I mean a real catch, the elusive small mouth, the one that hubby is out there seeking every morning. This is his passion. This is why we are here in New Hampshire.

Lobsters, Low fronts and Bar Harbor, Maine
You can’t choose your relatives or the weather. Uncle Joe may be an overwhelming bore, but to keep peace in the family you’ll have to put up with him. It’s the same with weather, especially when you are on the

We are in upstate New York still visiting some friends. It rained all day. We ran errands, restocking the RV, getting ready for a side trip to the beach on Fire Island. At dinnertime a menacing storm appeared on the

“Born on a Mountaintop in Tennessee…”
Sorry, I can’t think about Tennessee without recalling Davy Crockett and coonskin caps. A youth wasted watching too much Disney, I guess. Or, perhaps it’s the result of a week in Lillydale Campground on Dale Hollow Reservoir. We are thirty

Dropping out in the Everglades
Traveling in an RV is not camping. It’s more like living in a portable studio apartment. We have all the comforts of home: microwave, satellite TV, full bath, computers, internet and access to a full range of media. Except when
