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.

Wrapping it All Up…LA, San Diego and a Long Ride Home

I have been very lax in posting. When last you heard we were in Paso Robles, at the end of September, enjoying a little more vino.  Here it is a month later, we are back in Florida, enjoying being in

Back to the California Coast at Monterey

After several days in Yosemite, communing with nature, we looked forward to having basic services again, like water and power.  This comes with a trade off though. As we head further south along the Pacific coast we are starting to

You Can Never See Too Many Rocks: Yosemite National Park

Hubby is fond of saying, when his ADD kicks in, that  “if you’ve seen one rock, you’ve seen them all.”  Granted I have dragged him to Yellowstone, Arches, and Canyon Lands Parks, as well as the Canadian Rockies…all resplendent with

Vineyards, Mountains, Lakes and Fires: Napa Valley

We loved the coast around Mendocino and even though we had the scary drive  to get there, we enjoyed our stay. Now we were moving on, to the Napa area and a five day stay on Lake Berryessa. We were looking forward

Labor Day in Port Orford, Oregon – a Gem of a Place

We moved down the coast from Florence, Oregon to Port Orford…a big 100 or so miles.  We had reservations in a KOA. KOA’s are never my first choice of campgrounds to stay in, usually they are more expensive because you

Final stop in Washington: Lakes, Logger Jamboree’s and Mt. Rainier

We are finishing up a week on Mayfield Lake in Washington, staying at Harmony Lakeside RV resort in Mossy Rock (love that name.)  It has been a fine place to relax and enjoy the nice weather we have finally settled

At the Beach…Long Beach Peninsula, Washington

We began our re-entry from Canada into the U.S. on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.   We decide to keep traveling south and see the whole coast rather than heading inland. We spent some time on the river in Hoquiam and visited

Are We Sick of the Canadian Rockies Yet?

It has been three weeks since we crossed the border into Canada from Montana. We have spent that time soaking up the scenery, sightseeing and fishing on all sides of the Canadian Rockies, in both Alberta and British Columbia. From

Yellowstone, Where the Buffalo Roam

Yellowstone is a huge Park. We had reservations on Hebgen Lake, about 10 miles north of the west entrance to the Park. We have stayed there before, at Madison Arm Resort. It has great trout fishing and the camp is

Sante Fe, New Mexico: Hello green chile

Leaving the Big Texan behind us, we headed for  Santa Fe. We knew it would be better than Amarillo, we had already found no less than a haf-dozen Diners, Drive-ins and Dives recommendations nearby. If nothing else we will eat

Today we arrived in Ensenada. We bypassed it on our way south, but now we will spend our last three days here. We got to the RV resort  and were pleasantly surprised. It is a lovely resort with a restaurant,

If it is Monday it must be Mulegé

It’s a short 85 miles from Loreto to Mulegé today. It’s a winding road through the peninsula and back to the Bay of Conception. The road hugs the shore. The beach camps are beautiful: El Requeson, Hotel and Playa Buenaventura,

Hubby was up at 5:30 to leave for his fishing trip. He never has a problem rising and shining when there are fish involved. I got up early also to do some work online before our trip up into the

Escaping the Caravan, a Side Trip to La Ventana

We left at 7 am. We faced a 220-mile drive, so it would be a long day. Leaving Loreto, we hugged the coast before turning inland through some real pretty mountains. After a 15-minute break we drove an 80-mile stretch

Wasting Away in Margaritaville (actually, Loreto)

  Finally, no 7 AM start. This has been one downside of traveling in a caravan. You have to go when they do. No deciding to walk the beach and get a later start, or to spend an extra day
