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

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
Our fun Labor Day weekend over, it was time to hit the road again. We left sadly left Port Orford and continued south down highway 101, enjoying the beauty of the last 60 miles of the Oregon coast, particularly the Cape

Into the Land of the Lost– internet, that is
Oregon is beautiful. It has definitely moved into my top three states. You may, however, have noticed that it has been a while since the Diary has been updated. That is because since we left the state of Washington (remember

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

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

Utah: Canyons, Arches and Dinosaurs
Utah has it all. Deserts, mountains, forests, canyons, rivers, world class skiing, the Sundance film festival, the Morman Tabernacle, widely varying and often incomprehensible liquor laws (see the Morman’s about that). Last time through we visited Zion and Bryce National Parks,

Where’s John Wayne When You Need Him?
Hubby is an avid John Wayne fan. I can’t count how many times I have seen him watch The Longest Day. I have even caught him reciting the lines along with the Duke. So when I mentioned a drive to Monument

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

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.

What is the Petrified Forest scared of?
The Petrified Forest National Park also encompasses parts of the painted desert. While the Painted Desert awes you with sweeping vistas of vibrantly colored landscapes the petrified forest offers remnants of a time long past. The petrified forest is

One last peek at the foliage, New York’s Adironacks
We moved northwest of where we were in New Hampshire to get a peek at the foliage of the Adirondack’s in upstate New York. Adirondack Park is 6 million acres of land, lakes, rivers and streams, with the Adirondack Mountains

Who Goes Over Niagara Falls in a Barrel?
The sound, the fury, the power. Standing at the very top of Horseshoe falls, peering through the mist into the abyss, a vertical drop of 165 feet to a shelf of jagged rocks, it’s easy to become mesmerized by the ongoing

There is nothing like New England seafood. Haddock, steamers, scallops and lobster have become a staple of our New Hampshire diet. As soon as we get down to Portland we’ll add fresh swordfish to that list. (for some reason we

Let me start with a caveat. You can’t credit Columbus, or anyone else, with “discovering” America when he encountered millions of indigenous people already living here. (and then generously introduced them to all sorts of germs and diseases that just

We left the rain of upstate New York, drove 3 hours onto Long Island and caught the ferry to Ocean Beach, Fire Island. No Rv. We left it parked on the farm. It’s always a roll of the dice driving
