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.

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

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

Paso Robles: A Little more Vino and the Unimaginably Rich
I have this fascination with the lifestyles of the rich and famous…not today’s nouveau sort, I mean the old-money rich, and nothing says old money like William Randolph Hearst. When we left Monterey and moved down to Paso Robles our

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

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

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

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

Put Them in Tree Museums…
Traveling across British Columbia, and now through Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, I’ve been thinking a lot about that old (1970?) Joni Mitchell song, Big Yellow Taxi. (You younger people can google it) The lines that keep popping into my mind: They took all

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

Canoeing Across British Columbia
Well, we didn’t really canoe across the Province. We drove with our canoe on top of the car behind the RV, but it was in water much of the time as we explored the many lakes of northern British Columbia

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

Off the grid, Onto the Reservation, into the Canyon De Chelly
If you hang a right at Gallup, New Mexico and head northwest into Arizona, you enter the Navajo Tribal lands. At 17 million acres, it covers the entire northeast corner of Arizona and spills into New Mexico and Utah. When
