Life on Your Own Terms
Have you had any days where the idea of a life of solitude, maybe in a small cabin in the woods, sounds appealing? You know, when you are fed up with the daily grind, the fools you have to suffer,

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,

Across the Four Corners to Mesa Verde National Park
Four Corners is the one spot in the United States where four states converge. Here, in seconds, you can step into Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona (or lay spread eagle on the ground and be in all four simultaneously,

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

Man Overboard in Oklahoma
Hubby christened our trip west by falling into Lake Eufaula, in Checotah, Oklahoma… nothing was hurt but his pride and his cellphone. We’ve been on the road for near a week. We left Florida last Monday, spent three days at

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.

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

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

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

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

Eat Mor Cowz…West Texas, Route 66 and the “Big Texan”
So I hope you all enjoyed our caravan trip down the Baja to Cabo San Lucas and back. 28 days of crazy roads, breath taking scenery and great mexican food. Despite the road situation, we loved the Baja. We weren’t thrilled

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

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

If it is Monday it must be Mulegé
It’s a short 85 miles from Loreto to Mulegé today. It’s a winding road through the peninsula and back to the Bay of Conception. The road hugs the shore. The beach camps are beautiful: El Requeson, Hotel and Playa Buenaventura,

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

Descending Devil’s Grade
It was dark and foggy as we lined up at 7 am to leave Guerrero Negro. These early starts don’t leave any time for our usual morning walks. Combine that with all the Mexican meals we are eating and

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
