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.

The Road to Mendocino, scary, scary scary

We continue our trek south along the California coast.  The Crescent City/Klamath area didn’t have the rugged looks of Oregon, but we did enjoy the Redwoods.  Now we were headed to coastal Mendecino. I had called the Casper Beach RV

California: First Look at the Redwoods

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

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

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

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

Less Rain, More Sun, No Fishing

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

Young Mountains, Old Rocks

The Teton National Park brochure says there are rocks in the Teton range that are over 2.5 million years old, but the mountains themselves are among the youngest in the world. Something to do with fault lines, massive earthquakes and

Mixed feelings in Sedona

We closed down our Flagstaff stay with a drive to Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon. We were originally going to stay in Sedona and spend a few days exploring this spot that has always been high on my “must see” list.
