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

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

Autumn Leaves (and so do we)
As September fades into October, and as crisp, sunny, Autumn days turn into raw, harbinger’s of Winter, it is time for us to pack the RV and start to drift south. Our four months in New Hampshire and Maine have

Whale Watching in Guerrero Negro
Hubby prepared for today’s anticipated white-knuckle driving with half a Zanex. We left the boulders of Catavina, entered a small mountain pass and headed across a high mesa that is a remnant of a dry lakebed. The roads are 9.5

A Travel Day: Sand Dunes, Time Zones and Margaritas
Another travel day. Today we drove west towards Yuma through miles of Arizona desert filled with saguaro cacti. As we learned at Saguaro National Park this is the only place they grow. So all those cowboy movies I watched in

The Stately Saguaro Tucson, Arizona
The road from Las Cruces to Tucson put us in higher elevations and we saw the remnants of the snow that closed the road two days ago. We enjoyed the alternating desert and mountain scenery. Tucson is in a valley

The Ice Storm Cometh. Las Cruces, New Mexico
Leaving Ft. Stockton, Texas the weather deteriorated. We were beginning to second guess making a late January RV trip west. As we neared El Paso and the New Mexico border it became dark and overcast, the mountains shrouded in clouds

Walking the River in San Antonio, Texas
We had hoped waiting a day might mean clearer weather for seeing the Alamo and the Riverwalk, but it was not to be. The wet, cold front that had been following us since New Orleans, and had put a damper

How to visit New York City in an RV (Don’t)
I guess you could drive it into midtown, if you really like getting stressed out. Crosstown traffic is a drag in a car, I can’t imagine trying it in an RV, getting stuck in an intersection, and having every cabbie

Spelunking in Carlsbad Cavern, New Mexico
I tend to be slightly claustrophobic. I need to have a few feet of open space in front of my face, so small, tight spaces will usually produce minor panic attacks in me. I had no idea I was like

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

Chute Montmorency: Size Does Matter
When we travel in the RV it’s always a decision in terms of what we stop to see. We will scour the tour books and internet sites to find out what there is to see in an area and go

Lac St. Jean, Quebec: Je Ne Parles Pas Anglais
When we decided to visit Quebec we wanted to see more than just Montreal and Quebec City, so Lac St. Jean seemed a likely destination. This large lake was north of these two cities, deep into the Province, and far

Close Encounters of the Bear-able kind
New Hampshire has lots of wildlife. Most of the time they keep to themselves, hiding in the woods. If you get out early, or late at night you might run into them. Literally. Moose, in particular, can be found just

Shabby or Classy? Campground Choices
Picking a campground is pretty straightforward. Traveling the Red Roads in our RV has landed us in hundreds of campgrounds. I can say with complete confidence that not all of them are created equally. Some campgrounds are spacious, well maintained

Parry Sound, a Comedy of Errors
Leaving Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario with a restocked supply of vodka, we headed for Parry Sound. We would need that vodka. Our drive took us along the North Channel of Lake Huron then South along the Georgian Bay on highway
