The End of the Road… New Beginnings, and a Lucky Shot, *Redux-Sorry
Look at this lucky shot I took of a surfer and a humpback. We are off the road and in Florida. It’s not that we haven’t been traveling, just a different kind, by plane, like my recent trip to Hawaii.

Twisted Sisters, Oregon- Continued
Leaving Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge we headed south towards the Cascades and the lakes to do some fishing. Our route toward Bend skirted the desert areas of Oregon. The varied terrain has been one of the most impressive

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

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump
The buffalo jump was an ingenious, communal way for members of the Blackfoot Nation to build up stores of food, hides, tools and weapons needed to get through the harsh winters of the western plains. The bison would be herded

Life on Your Own Terms
Have you had any days where the idea of a life of solitude, maybe in a small cabin in the woods, sounds appealing? You know, when you are fed up with the daily grind, the fools you have to suffer,

How To Run Away and Join the Pro Bass Tour
Calling all anglers. Are you tired of that 9 to 5 job? Do you watch those Saturday fishing shows and say to yourself, “I could do that.” I mean how hard could it be? You go out with a few

It’s a Doozy!
It’s a doozy, meaning it’s bizarre or extraordinary. Do you know where that term originated? The Deusenberg was a fabulous car in the 1920’s and 1930’s and when people saw them they’d say, “It’s a Doozy.” I happen to know

Panic on Mt. Washington, New Hampshire
Are you afraid of heights? I’m not, but I may have mentioned that Hubby is. I rearrange our RV road travel so as not to encounter switchbacks, drop offs or steep inclines. So what was I thinking when I talked

Trash Talk
Every time we leave our campground we pass a house that intrigues me. A small blue clapboard with a screened porch and a detached garage. It sits on a few acres, a nondescript place, nicely kept and typical of many homes

Road Oddities
Traveling the back roads in the RV we have seen some odd sights. There’s no accounting for peoples taste when it comes to how they dress, or the color they paint their home, or the items they choose to “decorate”

GPS – Globally Positioned Somewhere?
There are two things you need to know about driving a motorhome towing a car, it can’t stop quickly and it can’t make a U or K-turn. This always creates some interesting (read that tense) moments in the cockpit when

Fun at Fundy, in search of the 50 foot Tide
From the wilds of Maine we head the motorhome east, across the border into New Brunswick, Canada. We heard the surf was up in the Bay of Fundy. Talk about extreme tides, each day the Bay of Fundy sees billions of tons of seawater flow

Summer in New Hampshire
Here we are in Freedom, New Hampshire. On the shore of Lake Ossipee and a short drive from the White Mountains. We have set up base camp on our shady, expansive site and settled in for a Summer of exploring

No Rain, No Rainbows
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

Happy birthday to me
Happy Cinco de Mayo. I always appreciated that the whole country threw a margarita and nacho-filled birthday party for me. I’m taking the day off and celebrating all that is good in my life, and that is a lot. Usually
