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

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

An Early Peek at the Oregon Coast
We have been looking forward to getting into Oregon, since so many friends have said the coast (as well as the rest of the state,) is special. We were at the southernmost end of Washington, and it was a perfect

Vancouver Island, A perfect place to end a perfect visit
Six weeks of road travel and a 15-hour ferry ride down the Inner Passage have brought us to our final stop in Canada, Vancouver Island. We arrived in Port Hardy at 11 PM and the RV park we were heading for

Cruising the Inner Passage
This was the last leg of our drive across northern British Columbia and the most scenic. We paralleled the Skeena River for the entire drive and were surrounded by more beautiful, snow capped mountains. It has been five weeks since we

Mixing Lava Flows and Indian Ruins
It is the 4th of July and the RV park is having a pot luck and entertainment later in the day. Having already toured the town of Flagstaff and seen the Lowell Observatory, we decided to spend the holiday exploring

Observing the Heavens in Flagstaff
We arrived at J&H RV in Flagstaff, worn out from a long day of touring the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest and driving west. We settled into our site in this well kept RV park. Many of the other campers

Riding the Rio Grand
One more thing had to be done before leaving Santa Fe and heading toward Flagstaff, we had to try some river fishing. We weren’t expecting much success. Our fishing has mostly been done from a boat or our canoe. We

Taos, New Mexico — 1000 years of history
We did take a break from eating our way around Santa Fe and made a day trip to the Taos Pueblo. Taos itself is a pretty, artsy town with lots of shops and galleries to explore but we were there to see

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

Post-Sandy New York, a Tale of Two Cities
Talk about timing. Other than one household problem after another, things had been pretty quiet here in Florida since we returned from our five-month sojourn in the RV to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Too quiet for me. So

Backtracking to Santispac
We don’t usually backtrack, but we had been unable to get into Santispac for some beach camping on our way north from Cabo so we went to Mulegé first. There is a caravan that is leaving Santispac by 9 AM,

How to Visit NewYork City in an RV(Part 2)
I was tired after yesterday, traipsing around lower Manhattan and seeing all the sights. Some of the people (and dog) watching was excellent (these two were a favorite), but I wish we had been able to park the RV in Central

Looking for Deep Fried Butter in Skowhegan, Maine
Have you ever had deep dried butter? How about chicken fried bacon? If not I imagine you haven’t been to a State Fair lately. There seems to be a philosophy at these fairs that says if you can eat it,

Driving the RV north along the coast towards Maine, we had just passed the Boston area and decided to get off the road early and explore the Gloucester and Cape Ann area. We’d always heard Cape Ann billed as the

Of Sea Dogs, Portholes and Portland (Maine, that is)
Since we decided to get off the road and park the RV in New Hampshire for the entire Summer we have been doing a lot of White Mountain and Lakes District outdoorsy type of stuff. You know, hiking, fishing, kayaking and such.

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

Set high above the St. Lawrence River, Quebec City started as a fur trading port early in the 1600’s. Today, it has to be one of the world’s most beautiful cities. At least we would vote it one of the
