The Summer has flown by up here in New Hampshire, but between my hiking, writing and general all around relaxing, I have managed to to publish the second (and final!) volume of The Red Road Diaries on Amazon.com. Volume One,

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

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

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

Getting Ready to Roll the Red Roads
May is here and it is time to hit those Red Roads again. The wild west calls. Our winter respite has been a mixed bag. Florida had a wonderful winter, weather-wise. The best we’ve had for a while. We’ve enjoyed

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

Prowling the Painted Desert
It was time to move the RV west, to start seeing all those natural wonders and National Parks we had heard so much about. Santa Fe had fed our stomachs well and and we had enjoyed the beauty of the

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

A Happy, Peaceful, New Year to All
Our RV is off the road, resting in Florida right now, and will be until we head west in April. I thought this photo I took last week on our holiday visit with friends in upstate New York evoked all

Life Off The Red Road
I have been pondering why life off the road seems to consume so much time previously used for such worthwhile pursuits as blogging regularly about our travels and keeping up with my reading and conversations with blogger friends around the

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,

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

Loreto, Better the Second Time Around
Filled with all the sights and sounds of Cabo San Lucas, it was time for the caravan to begin its return north. The return trip hits some of the spots we stopped at on the way down, but also adds

Everything is “Almost Free” in Cabo San Lucas
It’s only 100 miles today from La Paz to our end destination, Cabo San Lucas. We passed through the usual inland terrain of hills and farms; at Todos Santos we moved back to hug the coast. We did not stop

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
